Australian Industry Group Submits R18+ Rating Proposal–Gamasutra
The Interactive Games & Entertainment Association, an industry trade group active in Australia and New Zealand, has submitted a proposal for an R18+ rating to the Australian attorney general’s office, hoping to alter long-standing practices effectively banning games which exceed a certain threshold of violent or sexual content.
Unlike its ratings for films, Australia’s game rating system does not include “R18+” or “X18+” ratings, which pertain to content rated for those 18 years of age or older. The game system tops out at “MA 15+” — meaning games with content deemed more mature than is suitable to an MA 15+ rating are denied classification entirely, and cannot be sold at retail in the country. read more…

WTF is happening to Australia. No R18+ rating AND the government’s plan to secretly censor our internet.. If we dont get rid of the current government i think we’re pretty much screwed.

The country is run by a bunch of soft homo’s. I am sick of missing out on games and movies because the prime minister and his government thinks he knows what is best for me and the rest of the country.

If I don’t comment on this I feel un-Australian. *comments*
No but really, it’s quite sad that we are the only developed country that doesn’t have an R18+ rating.
