WA and ACT Attorneys-General

Hi All,
 
I’m attaching a letter from the Office of the WA Attorney General.

No surprises in this latest correspondence.  The letter simply signals the government’s desire to “undertake further analysis of community and expert views” before examining an R18+ classification for computer games at an unspecified “future meeting”.

However, readers may be pleased to hear that the very engaging ACT Attorney-General, Simon Corbell (the gentleman with the blonde hair), openly supports the introduction of an R18+ classification.

"The ACT supports the introduction of an R18+ classification.  This classification would ensure that games with adult content are sold only to adults and that the purchasers are fully aware of the content of the games.  There is evidence that many people are purchasing games from overseas and over the internet, and because the games are not classified, they may have little or no information to enable them to determine whether this is something they truly want to view or use."

Phase 2 of our campaign for an adult computer games classification begins shortly.
 
Best,
 
Roland
