Michael Atkinson continues to ignore studies, the public and his colleagues re: R18+ for games.

Wow. 2 major disappointments from members of my preferred political party in the last few weeks.

Looking good, Labor.

Listen, Michael. Can I call you Mike?

Mike,

All those games you’re afraid of - GTA, Fallout 3 etc etc? They are being edited and re-classifed to suit the MA15+ rating, meaning games you might not like 15 year olds (and younger) playing are easily available anyway under that classification. If they could be given an R18+ rating they could be sold with appropriate restrictions instead of (almost) anyone. It’s common sense on that issue alone, let alone from any artistic or censorship angle.
