Bill Introduced To Ban Sale of MA15+ Games To Anyone Under 18 in SA 161
dotarray writes "The introduction of an R18+ rating for video games into Australia has been designed to bring game classification in line with the current system in place for films and other media. One state, however, would like to widen that gap."
This is being billed (by John Rau's office) as a saner approach than eliminating the MA15+ rating entirely.

...that thinks we shouldn't be asking the state with the City of Churches how to protect children.
It's a bit like putting Hunter S. Thompson in charge of the uppers.

It's a state within Australia. We have several, including one which looks like a hairy vagina that we all forget about when we draw a map.
South Australia's capital is called Adelaide. It's nickname is the City of Churches because it has a crapload of churches and a proportionate number of wacko religious fucknuts to go with it. Sunday trading is still an issue and newcomers to the state are hazed by being murdered and dissolve in acid in a barrel and left in a bank vault. Their courts are full of lesbian vampire murderers. Weirdly enough they have a relaxed attitude towards dope and you can have a certain number of plants for "personal use". I call it a place to retire.
Ben Folds lives there.
All of the above is true. I swear it's too good to make up.
