We’ve had our own issues with the Australian Christian Lobby with regards to video game classification, but now it seems that Jim Wallace is taking issue with Fiona Patten of The Sex Party after she expressed support for a complete overhaul of the classification system, including the introduction of an R18 rating for video games.
Friday the 10th of December had an air of expectancy about it. At Kotaku we had been building towards it for weeks, but suddenly it was an issue out of our hands. Democracy be damned, a group of politicians would sit in a room, and natter about a topic we’d been obsessing over for months: should Australia have an R18+ rating video games?
We’re closer than ever to an R18+ rating – but in the face of overwhelming common sense there is still a vocal minority in stark opposition. Why are games the target of such a focused campaign – and why do these groups continue to fight in the face of overwhelming research and public support for an adult rating for video games?
In the last 30 minutes, Lyle Shelton, who we interviewed last week has posted a blog on the ABC website in response to the Federal Government’s support of an R18+ rating.
