Imports are the answer to the censorship problem. A watered down version of the game arrives with a few scenes removed from the finished Australian version of the game.

Some game stores around town will have import versions of the game which have not been censored. European, Japanese or North American version of the game is the answer.

Yea you gotta hope that customs don't realise your importing it. Plus Australia's internet filter is rumorted to block websites that import games. Australia has gone to the dogs. :(

This info is wrong.  There is currently no internet filtering in Australia. 

The talk about blocking sites that would allow you to import games from other countries is part of the proposed anti-paedaphilia measures that whats-his-name is championing.  Essentially a filter that facilitates blocking of all sites selling or advertising R-rated games.  Doesn't make any kind of sense.

edit: I'm going to have to do some more reading about this because i still haven't got my head around the whole issue and it irks me tremendously.
