After 18 months of waiting, Brendan O’Connor, Federal Minister for Home Affairs, has finally released the discussion paper for R18+ classification. The discussion paper and the submission template are both available for download here.

While neither he nor the Government had formed a view on whether the Classification Scheme should include an R18+ classification for computer games, Mr O’Connor encourages “everyone with an interest in this issue to contribute to the discussion so the Government can ensure all community views are considered.”

Submissions for the discussion paper close on 28 February, 2010.
