The R18+ rating in Australia may have support with some attorneys-general, according to this [URL=http://au.gamespot.com/news/6284638.html]GameSpot Australia report[/URL] (thanks Ryan O'Meara).
The Standing Committee of Attorneys-General (SCAG) meeting set for December 10 may be the place for the issue to get some attention; last week ACT Senator Kate Lundy brought up the benefits of the rating system before the senate, and this week Federal Opposition Shadow Attorney-General George Brandis talked to GameSpot AU about the importance of having an R18+. From Brandis:
"The Coalition recognises there are inconsistencies in the current classification system that need to be addressed," Brandis told GameSpot AU. "We are looking closely at a number of proposals as to how the Australian classification system can be more effective across all types of media, including games and software."
