Atkinson respones to Mr Doe's challenge

Michael Atkinson has welcomed David Doe's challenge for his seat in next year's election.

Mr Doe, the brains behind Gamers 4 Croydon, announced last week that he was planning on challenging Atkinson for his seat in next year's state election. In March earlier this year, Atkinson himself wrote: "I welcome a challenge in my electorate of Croydon at the next general election on this issue."

Even though he only had 75 people register on Friday, Doe is still positive he will get the 150 he needs in December at a function he is planing.

In respone to the challenge, Atkinson was quoted as saying: "The voters of Croydon will now be asked directly whether they want interactive games in which gamers score points by raping a mother and daughter, blowing themselves up, torturing human figures . . . killing people and taking drugs to improve their sporting prowess,"

I don't know what to say about that, so I'll leave it there...
