In more political drama today, the Federal Government has released the discussion paper for an R18+ Classification for games.

The discussion paper has taken a long time to finally make its way into the hands of the public. It outlines the negative and positives for an R18+ Classification for games.

Please check out Kotaku’s comprehensive coverage of the issue (they do this stuff for a living and do it more justice).

If you’d rather skip straight to the part where you let the government know you support the idea (or don’t support…) you can do so by going to http://www.ag.gov.au/gamesclassification.

Please make your voice heard on this issue and the previous internet filtering issue.

(Credit must go to Russ for making me post this sooner rather than later.)
