Australia has seen its second public rally take place—in as many months—in the hopes of growing public support for the addition of an R18+ videogame rating category.

Sydney was home to the latest event on Saturday, January 9th. Organized by [URL=http://www.r18gamesaustralia.com/]R18+ Games Australia [/URL]head Luke Lawrie, who is also a writer for [URL=http://www.australiangamer.com]AustralianGamer.com[/URL], the happening took place downtown in the vicinity of the Queen Victoria building, and, from all accounts, drew in excess of 50 people.

Lawrie [URL=http://au.gamespot.com/news/6245096.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=picks&tag=picks;title;1]told Gamespot[/URL] that he hoped to target older Australians and non-gamers with the group’s message of a need for an adult rating category for games.

A similar rally, put on by Treat Us Like Adults, took place in Brisbane [URL=http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/12/07/aussie-r18-rating-rally-roundup]in early December[/URL] and drew a similar number of attendees.
