On Wednesday the Minister for Justice Brendan O'Connor announced the public release and review of the draft classification guidelines for games. These new guidelines will replace the existing old (and out dated) guidelines and bring classification standards for games into line with other existing media with the introduction of an R18+ classification.
Additionally the Attorney-General's Department have opened up an online survey where Australian's can submit their opinion's on the drafted guidelines put forward.
I encourage all Australian members of the Giant Bomb community over the aged of 18 to submit their thoughts on the draft. Please be constructive and mature if you wish to leave additional comments beyond the 4 provided options. There is enough of us out there to make a real difference on this issue and hopefully this year might be the year where the News feed on Giant Bomb and other sites doesn't read "X Game is banned in Australia".
