R18+ Rally in Adelaide

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Gametraders is organising a rally to support an R18+ rating for video games in South Australia. The rally will take place at 1pm on the 4th of March, on the steps of the Adelaide Parliament House. As you all know, Adelaide is the home of the South Australian Attorney-General, Michael Atkinson, chief opponent of an R18+ rating for games in Australia.

This is an important chance to show your support for this long-overdue change to the Australian ratings system. Please make time to show up if you can and help campaign for a fairer, safer system for all Australians.

UPDATE (19th Feb): It’s clear from the feedback below and across the internet that a lot of people have some concerns about the cosplay nature of the rally. Gametraders has contacted me to say they will be issuing a further statement shortly. I’ll post it up as soon as I receive it.
