Well, our goverment is fucked up, we had a meeting about this 2 months ago. it was postboned till June. So we have to wait till june what happens. But im glad that atleast one attorny is really wanting to push this forward.!!!

[QUOTE=Grimezy15;28633327]How exactly would it make it easier for kids to get hold of violent games? 1. You need ID to purchase a game rated MA15+, or R18+ 2. 15 year olds can currently get their hands on games that were meant for those above the age of 18, so the introduction of an R18+ rating would make it harder for younger people to get more violent games... Even if parents buy these games for their kids, it's the parents responsibility, it's exactly the same as taking your kids to see an MA15+ film. God they're a bunch of twats that are afraid of change for the better.[/QUOTE] Australian [b]Christian[/b] Lobby In another words, it's a bunch of old farts that can't let go off the "old ways", if there's even a slight chance a kid can get one of those games even through the parents, they freak out about it.

Even then, last time this was up for debate, only [B]one Attorney-General (executive branch position managing legal matters)[/B] voted to extend the current scheme, as more research was needed, even though a majority of submissions received by the ALRC (? IIRC) were of a supportive nature.

Glad he is gone, and this new Attorney general is really appealing for this to happen..

[quote][B]"We're becoming the laughing stock of the developed world...[/quote] [/B]People usually say things like this to make a point. For once, it actually is true. Australia has become the laughing stock of the developed world and needs to start making some drastic reforms when it comes to simple things such as this.

lol, Australian christian lobby, shut up godfags!

July isn't quick enough, it means I still have to see fat kids with their mum/dad at the counter getting an MA15+ game.

External influences shouldn't matter, they should improve it because it's a good idea.

Why would a Christian group be so against violence in video games anyway? Have they even read the Bible? Or a relevant history book? Is this supposed to be some kind of repentance?

Well said. Time to kick some ass I believe.

Bet they're gonna go with ratings of "banned" and "not banned"

[QUOTE=J!NX;28633165]Bring it Austrailia I'll kick your ass, come at me, bro! I'll bite ye' dick off![/QUOTE] Dude, this reform will allow L4D2 to be violent, the way it SHOULD be! It will allow us to play Mortal Kombat!! It will kick the little kid's ASS! (hopefully the kid-spammers won't buy their kids R18+ games like they buy them MA15+ games, which would void this reform in the eyes of the dick-power)

It's funny that Aliens vs Predator got through unscathed, but Mortal Kombat doesn't.

[QUOTE]"We're becoming the laughing stock of the developed world, where we're the only country that doesn't have an R18 classification level for video games.[/QUOTE] You're not the laughing stock of the developed world because you don't have an R18 classification level for video games. You're the laughing stock of the world because you're so worried about violent video games. Ignore them. Government has more important things to worry about, like the economy or China. If some kid kills everyone at his school because he played Call of Duty, then that's his own dumb ass parent's fault.
