The Australian Government has today released a discussion paper which briefly summarises the key arguments for and against an R 18+ classification for computer games, which currently does not exist in the country. This has led to the censoring of games in the past (L4D2, GTA4) and the outright banning of others (Alien Versus Predator). Censorship Ministers have considered the issue of an adult classification for computer games on several occasions but these efforts have been rejected by a single state's Attorney General (Michael Atkinson). However, they have never undertaken public consultation on this issue.
Anyone wanting to get R18+ Video Game rating system into Australia, whether over the age of 18 or under 18 fill out these documents and send them, as it is the only way the government is going to get a definitive answer about what the public really want in regards to the R18+ Rating.

This is the only way you can help make a difference for us Australians in regards to video games. Please, download the .doc and send it off to [email protected] as an attachment once you have filled out all the answers. You'd be helping 21 million Australians get a message across to our government!!!
Thanks <3

they only allow 16+??? you probably ment they disallow all above 16+
but when they make a new label, they probably change that
also in Netherlands they always yell: this will be forbidden, but it never comes to it,
