then its up to the general public to remove the corruption from the government, by means of processes that have been set in place for such an occasion, if need be I will be there to do so, the last thing you would want to do is annoy a country worth of people that could easily cover the ACT

most annoying thing here is
like all previous polls and public questionnaires/polls
cause almost every year they do it, and ask the public what they want, and the public always votes in a landslide for r18+ games, however then the government mysteriously loses the report, and just claims no one wanted r18+ games.

Gamers4Croydon is on your side.

Contact your federal MP and Senators using our contact widget on our website. We have a pre-written letter you can send them, calling for them to introduce an amendment to remove the unanimity requirement of the Classification Act of 1995.

We’ve got 12 days to go before the South Australian election, so help get the word out to everyone you know.

Good to hear, but I will lay money on it not achieving anything. Nothing we can say, nothing we can do will ever convince Atkinson to change his mind. The guy put $20,000 into a BS report stating that Video Games are more harmful than cigarettes for god’s sake (and also that Bananas in Pajamas causes violence in young children). All this will do is leave us right back where we started from. No R18+, no options other than protest and ultimately NO SAY. Everything in this country is run by conservatives who fear and oppose any sort of meaningful change, particularly the ones they don’t understand/care about. The government is conservative (and I’m talking BOTH parties here), the media is conservative (except maybe the ABC) and the average voting Australian is conservative. I mean who do we honestly have on our side that can actually make a difference?

Believe me I sincerely hope I’m wrong, but all evidence up to this point has shown otherwise.
