I havent seen this mentioned here but its pretty awesome. Their AG seems to be sick of Atkinson and is pushing for QLD to get their own rule. He's put up a petition and everything. I wonder if we can do something like that here. I mean thats what Canberra did with their porn laws.

Queensland takes on Atkinson! - PC Games - Game - News - Atomic MPC

Oh, someone emailed Atkinson about this and they got this reply

Quote:
"In Australia there is merit in a national classification scheme that requires unanimity between jurisdictions. State and Territory borders are incapable of restricting media to jurisdictions: once games classifird R18+ are available in one State they will be readily available in others. It will be no different from visitors to the Australian Capital Territory taking home explicit pornography, which they could not purchase in their own State. With people travelling so readily between States and Territories, a State-based classification coding system would be unworkable and useless. If Victoria introduced an R18+ classification and South Australia did not, we could not prevent R18+ games coming into this State."

If it goes through I send a huge suckshit to Atkinson because everythings he's been doing up till now will get scrapped.

didn't mention it was a possibility in the L4D2 thread but didn't think any of the states would actually go for it.

I really hope it goes through. Then I can send an email to Atkinson telling him to suck a phat-peoples-voice-cock.
