Obviously struggle with that reading thing hey?

What I'm doing is not much . Its just a coincidence that the goverment has started this consultation days after I put that quote in my sig (not just here). But I thought it was funny.

What I'm protesting: Essentially, the continued trend of the government to try and squash our rights and freedoms under the guise "Won't somebody think of the children!". The two big examples that p1ss me off being the ones in my sig: No 18+ rating for games (ONE man is blocking this, what kind of democracy is that?) And this fr*ggen rediculous internet filter the federal gov't is still trying to push, despite basically everyone being against it, and the fact its not going to do anything to 'help the kiddies'. Its just the gov't trying to control the one form of media they currently have no control over.

Well summed up by one game developer:

So... is it

a) Australia won't get any games that have an 18+ rating and you'll miss out?

or

b) they want to make an 18+ classification for games?

the first one I can see pissing people off, but the second one? so?

maybe I'm missing the point?

On that particular issue: We currently DON'T currently have a R18+ classification, so we miss out on some games (ie AvP) and get ghey censored versions of others (ie L4D2). One man (Michael Atkinson, Attorney General for SA) has been blocking any and all discussion/suggestion/etc of introducing one. This appears to be changing now, as the govt has released a discussion paper and has asked for public consultation on the possibility of introducing one. Which is good news.

So you are pretty right. a) IS pissing a lot of people off, and b) up till now has not happened because of ONE man (democracy my arse)
