Australia currently has no R18+ rating for video games. This situation restricts freedom of choice, encourages piracy, and places adult material into the hands of children. Find out why.

You can help by spreading the word, writing to your Member of Parliament and making your voice heard for a fairer, safer ratings system. Find out more.

Gamers4Croydon Moves On

Gamers4Croydon has just announced on their website that the political party is closing its doors.

In their farewell note, David Doe highlights what his party achieved during the South Australian election this year.

““We put political pressure on and helped unseat an Attorney-General (who was oddly absent throughout the ALP’s 2010 campaign). We (along with others) helped raise public awareness of the classification debate by getting on mainstream radio and television and outlaying the facts as they are, rather than as they are perceived or often portrayed. And personally, I’d like to think that we brought something genuine to the political process and managed to engage a previously disengaged and largely overlooked segment of voters.”

Their de-registration as an official party is to follow later.

Although they didn’t win any seats, their actions partly contributed to the resignation of Michael Atkinson and made their voice heard in relation to the government’s R18+ discussion paper. They will be sadly missed, and we wish them good luck in the future
