R 18+ computer games - Discussion Paper

Currently R18+ rated computer games - which contain high levels of sex and violence - are BANNED in Australia. This includes the very violent game Manhunt and BMX XXX which features topless riders and video clips of strippers.

However the Rudd government is considering whether the R18+ classification category should be extended to include computer games.

A Discussion Paper has been released by the government.

Submissions are due by February 28, 2010.

Rather than give all the details here, we've added a Campaign page about this issue.

It has links to the Discussion paper, details of where to send your submission and some of the key arguments.
