18+ rating without 18+ content ??

http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/national/act-leads-with-r18-games-law/story-e6frfku9-1226456888312?from=public_rss <-- ACT leads with R18+ games law

You may want hold your jaw closed to stop it hitting the floor, because the R18+ Rating for video games is finally coming to Australia! This week, the Senate approved the new classification, which should start to roll out around January 2013.

This is excellent news for adult gamers (the average age of an Australian gamer is 30), who finally have the opportunity to play games aimed at a more mature audience. All of this has happened, at least in part, due to the massive support and outcry from gamers across Australia.

Those wondering if the survey is legit here's the proof http://www.classification.gov.au/www/cob/classification.nsf/Page/InformationCentre_ProposeddraftGuidelinesforR18+ComputerGames

SA Attorney General John Rau wants to bring in R18+ and scrap ma15+

Why has this group had no say in the Ban of Mortal Kombat from Australia? I thought there would be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ raging over this, but nothing. They are even going to check personal imports for the game and issuing fines, for both pysical and digital copies.

Progress!

The more mature you act, the better the cause looks :)

yay the admin saves the day

Right, I've just spent 20 minutes cleaning up the comments section as there was apparently some kind of full moon on August 27 that made everyone go crazy.

@deadBeat - There's nothing I can do to stop people inviting you to any group. Steam let's everyone see who is in any group and gives them the option to invite from each member's profile. If you don't like this, set your profile to private. G4C has never, and will never share member information with anyone.

@Everyone - Don't feed the trolls, and try and stay on topic.

Watching a communist debate someone with a South African neo-nazi symbol as their avatar (you, Discrate) was annoying to say the least. If you want unmoderated political discussion, take it to http://bothkindsofpolitics.org and go nuts on each other.

Just joined this group, funny to see how every political group/page seems to have that one guy spamming text that everyone hates. The inability to be brief isn't a sign of understanding, its a lack of understanding your target audience.
GL next election G4C

Just found this on Whirlpool.

I wanted to do something like this myself then got to busy. In a nutshell: A lazy voters guide to not voting for Stephen Conroy. Each Victorian senate ticket modified to place Mr Conry last.

Send it to any Victorians you know.

dosent the gov. relize alot of ppl are gettin reli pissed because we dnt have our r 18. we need some gamers to run for election that might be the only way we get what we want

The aussie gov't dun goof'd they've been backtraced and i called the cyber police, now we awiat for them to get v&

@Pricklyman - You could just say "BOO!" really loud and fast. Thankfully, he's no longer relevant to the discussion on the R18+ rating, so we needn't bother with him anymore.

I'm meeting Mr. Atkinson in about 2 weeks at a function I'm going to. I'm so tempted to go up to him, shake his hand and say, "You are currently shaking hands with someone worse than a bikie" then walk off.

give this a read, actually can you make it an announcement.

Yeah, I'm with Raymond! Why no R+ but my kids are singing 'Glory to the Croydon Gamers' at school?! It's like deja vu to 1984 all over again!

Raymond Tracer, epic fail.

Come on, we got this... I hope. I really want the uncensored version of Left 4 Dead 2 >:D

C'mon we gotta win this.

COD4:MW2....hehe

I highly doubt family and football are his real reasons for stepping down, if it was then shy didnt he just step away from politics entirely. I believe the pressure from various issues being too much are his real reason.

But anyway, when does the next vote take place for the R18+ rating now that we have a pretty much definite yes from SA

"family"... "football"... nudge nudge wink wink say no more. pressured out by rann FTW.

Michael Atkinson has thrown in the towel and will no longer be Australian Attorney General after the current elections conclude! Atkinson's shock announcement was completely unexpected, and according to the man himself, entirely of his own making. Why? So he can spend more time watching his son play football:

Nytro, that's a really stupid thing to say. Nice job perpetuating the "dangerous gamer" stereotype. Regardless if you don't agree with his opinions, he's still human and has a family.

lost the battle but won the war, nice work G4C

Stay posisitive pplz! Atkinson might kick the bucket before then. And wouldnt that be SUCH a shame

Oh well. Four more years of Atkinson. Unlucky G4C.

even with a 'massive swing' against atkinson he is still way safe.. 64.5% 2 party preferred... croydon must be full of crazies like him hey?

The only person who did reasonably well was Chris in the Legislative Council. So far he has got 5,826 votes.

woot! another 4 years of no R18+ rating! Good try though G4C

Atkinson kept his seat. :(
