We are incensed by the lack of movement by the Federal and State Governments on the issue of games ratings. Adult gamers are ever-increasing, as is the popularity of the gaming industry as an entertainment force. This is on a par with movies yet it is not given the same range in ratings classifications.

A report commissioned by the Interactive Entertainment Association of Australia found that no reason has been found for the disparity in classification of different products, such as with movies versus computer games.

That was over a year ago. Still there has been no change. We, the below-signed call upon the Attorney General to implement an R18+ rating on games so that classification of the entertainment industry is equal across the board.

These inconsistencies need to be ironed out so that adult gamers have the right to choose, plus their money benefits the Australian economy when they are not forced to purchase overseas.
