Forums - Gaming - Western Australian commitee wants R18+ video games banned in the state

I looked at the four members of this committee and they are all women aged in their forties and fifties who look like they have never played a video game in their life let alone an adult one.

If they come we will fight this every step of the way.


We did manage to fight and defeat Labors insane internet filter.Close call though.

I f**king HATE censorship, damn Australia and damn Germany, It isn't fair that because Germany wanted some games like Twisted Metal or The Last Of Us censored, we also got the censored version.



Hey don't click here ! It's creepy !!

I want a PlayStation All-Stars Sequel ! Come on Sony, stop making too many shooters !

I'll make a better signature when I'll have time to do it...

lucky i live east of that giant desert: Western Australia, unfortunately living in the backwater of South australia


To be honest, living in Australia sounds pretty cool to me man.


yea it really is, medical is free, everyone has mediacare (health insurance) provided to them, 20 - 50% of university is paid for by the government and as long as you are a citizen you are guarenteed hex help which is a tax free loan until you get a job earning more than 50k a year (i think) as which point you start paying it back as long as you have that job and if you move overseas you never have to pay it back, ever. You get a youth allowance that is about $300 a fortnight and $500 if you live away from home (studying interstate, etc) + $100 rent help (you get the youth allowance till like 25 i think) but the minority of Australia makes me sad to live here sometimes, not being racist but indigenous australias (most of the time) are really self entitled and dangerous as hell. The other week a group of them tried to smash my head in because i stood up to them and told them to stop harrassing me. The government does nothing about them, and they are let off for serious crimes such as aussault and armed robbery simply because they are aboriginal. They get free housing, and a bigger youth allowance so they just bum off of the tax payers for their entire lives. There are good ones (i would seriously say like 5 out of 100) that don't cause trouble and go to school.

the government groups them into particualr suburbs and it makes it so dangerous to live there. Last week someone was killed on the train lines, pushed onto the tracks. Like these suburbs have such bad reputations that you really wouldnt want to leave your car out for more than 5 minutes. 

When i was about 5 my nextdoor neighbour beat his kid to dead, both parents aboriginal. the other next door neighbour put his wife on a dog chain and drove her round the block till he skun her to death. Tried to kil my dad by setting his train pitbul on to him, my dads leg had half the musle ripped off (picture the calf with just the bone halfway through).

these things really ruin it for me, the government just enables it and its never going to change because they will cry racism the moment it does.

I wonder how they regulate pornography.

 

Unless the laws have been changed in recent years, it's pretty stupid.  I seem to recall that it's technically illegal to sell or distribute pornography but it's not illegal to own.  Good luck figuring out how that works. 

I guess the only way is to make porn yourself.

The internet is for porn.

When will Australians understand that not all games are for kids?! (In fact it seems that most big ones aren't at this point).



For what I hear on news, looks like AUS has a lot of things, serious things like the climate and natural disasters or how the introduction of foreign animals still affects their country. Yet, they seem to be more worried with banal stuff like this.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Ah, now there's an angle I hadn't considered!  Well, if anyone wants to help me generate a non-purchased collection, feel free to volunteer.  Female only, please.
