This ABC article states that Australia's Attorneys General will be meeting tomorrow to consider the issue of video game ratings in excess of MA.

Maybe this isn't a dead issue after all.

Didn't that old c*** from SA already make his mind up and this is merely a formality?

^ yep thats what i heard....he was on ABC radio a little while ago and said he had no intention of changing his mind on this.
although being a polly that probably means he will change it!

i thought there was still a possibility that they will get an r+ rating it will just be determined by each state if they want to implement it.
either way its dogs balls that it can be stopped by 1 f***wit SA politician

there was an article on hack about this ; I think there's a vote happening about it but it needs to be unanimous if we are to get an R rating for games

There was a professor from Bond Uni just on the ABC radio about this. He is consulting to the GG on this and is recommending to create the R18 rating for video games. Dont write it off yet.

smh

So much for democracy.

yeah good job asking the public, if they actually asked gamers and not senior citizens with there racist and backwards values.

THE IRONY IS OFF THE CHARTS SIR!

what (good) game has ever required r18 rating?

GTA SA was banned here was it not?

Duke nukem is in there.
The punisher wasnt too bad.

the only bit that was removed from from a GTA game was the bit were you could pick up a prostitute. it didn't change squat about the game play. removing the comicly unrealistic scene was fine with me.
