R18+ Games - Public Consultation

[NISMO]

Came across this today.

It's the Attorney Generals site where they are asking for submissions on if R18+ Games should be allowed.

http://www.ag.gov.au/www/agd/agd.nsf/Page/...confidentiality

You can bet that all the groups who are against this have been notified to make there submissions, so if you have a few seconds have your say. The below is a link to the Word doc template and also has the email address where you send it to.

Oh, and there's only 10 days left to have your say.

EB games has had a pertition for R18+ games recently at their outlets. I don't know how effective it would be but I signed it anyway. Hopefully we can finally get him to change his mind.

The Australian Christian Lobby is against this because they don't want more violence and sex in the media??

A bit hippocritical seeing as the whole christian religion is built on violence (as told in the bible) and fondling with young boys (as handled by your local priest)...

I know, that second point is a bit harsh.............

My mistake, Craig. I automatically think Catholics when I hear Christians. I know for a fact that Orthodox religion requires the priest to be married to a woman before he can officially become a priest... but that's another point for another topic.

Back to this topic, I believe it's the ignorance of the parents that results in kids playing these kind of video games. That being said, I used to watch robocop and other violent movies when I was really young, as well as play violent video games (MK) as did most of my friends and we don't run around killing people... or doing GTA (although it would be awesome).

Biggest R18+ Stories of 2010

R18+ Classification is very, very slowly progressing into becoming a reality...

http://asia.gamespot.com/news/6285290.html?tag=result%3Btitle%3B0

"No, we don't have an R18+ for games just yet. At the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General meeting on Friday, December 10 in Canberra, federal, state, and territory ministers did not vote on introducing R18+ for games. Instead, they voted on drafting a set of preliminary guidelines for the introduction of an adult classification for games. What this means is that they have agreed to write the law that will allow for R18+; once they write it up, they will vote on introducing the guidelines. And following from that, they will vote on an R18+ classification at the next SCAG meeting in March 2011. "

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

i dont get it, there can be R rated movies, but not R rated games? is this because parents are to lazy to prevent their kids from playing them? its easy to stop your kids from watching R rated movies, why not games?

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

with the internat it's actually harder to stop them watching adult movies then playing games actually..
