A statement from the Australian Christian Lobby (in an article entitled "[URL=http://australianconservative.com/2010/12/acl-welcomes-refusal-of-r18-classification-for-games/]ACL welcomes refusal of R18+ game classification[/URL]" that appeared in the Australian Conservative) celebrates the defeat of the measure during the Standing Committee of Attorney Generals meeting last week. ACL’s managing director Jim Wallace was one of the panelists at the meeting speaking against the new rating. Below is some of what Wallace had to say about the meeting and the results:

"It was very clear to me that the great majority of AGs were in a state of bemusement that anyone could want to make or play many of these games and particularly those proposed for an R18+ rating," Wallace said. "It is clear that the meeting failed to get support for the R18 classification as a result."
