    You know why this is, as it is the only game that could possibly never get banned in Australia, or could it? Everyone in Australia play this as you may not get the chance knowing your countries rating system.

    Our ratings system isn't that bad lol.In fact, if we had an 18+ rating then our censorship would bet better than the US as our censorship is more lenient than in the US.I'm amazed at how many 18+ games everywhere else are only 15+ here.

      That's one of the main arguments for it though, games which should be classified as 18+ as MA because there is no where else to put them.

        "better" wasn't the correct word.

        That is what I find more of a problem than the so called problems and 18+ rating would make.The fact that 15 year olds are able to play games that should be limited to 18 year olds (GTA being one of them) all because our stupid government won't allow an 18+ rating.

        Just look at Manhunt.That game should have NEVER been given a 15+ rating.

        That is one of the reasons I think our government is moronic.They say they want to protect the children.I feel that no 18+ rating is harming children more than having an 18+ rating by allowing children (yes 15 year olds are still children) play games they shouldn't be playing in the first place.

    The 'real' problem lays with the people, as it's the people that push politicians into doing what they do. Politicians know that if they do things that the voters do NOT like, they will not vote for them, funnily enough - dahh . . . ! So if a huge % of the population want and push for lower classifications, then politicians will allow that, as going against that, their voters would revolt and no doubt not vote them in in the following elections.

    Religious and 'do-gooder' movements are often very misinformed about various things that they say they actually stand for. They will often NOT listen to discussion about it, and will use their political powers (and believe me, they have them) to sway various politicians to making choices that suit the right wing groups, rather than what is the "right" thing to do.

    One only has to listen to som eof the comments that they come out with, making statements that you and I know are completely wrong, and often even made up, but they have the sway to make their comments have weight and will use it to get what they want. It basically comes down to being a power trip than anything else. Just look at our best friend Jack Thompson. Almost ever word that came out of his mouth was wrong, but he had the "power' to sway so many into believing he was actually right.
