  • Why don't they just rate it R18+?
    Australia has no R18+rating for video games.
    Why doesn't Australia have an R18+ rating for video games?
    A single man, South Australian Attorney-General, Michael Atkinson doesn't want an R18+ rating, despite overwhelming public demand.
    Why does one man get to determine what is right for everyone else?
    The system is flawed.

    Michael Atkinson has the appearance of a man who has never and will never actually play a video game, why then is someone with no actual experience in the industry in charge of what is acceptable conduct within?

    It's time to send a message to Mr Atkinson, introduce a mature ratings system to the video game industry or turn over your duties to someone better qualified.

    Contact The Attorney-General and tell him what you think:
