fuck yes.

 

[Phoenix Fury]

Yeh, just saw it on another forum, fuck yes!

Only thing is NSW seems to be being cunts about it for some reason >.<

 

[powlmao]

Bout fucking time!

It is fucking stupid when governments ban R18+ games when people can import them overseas.

 

[Phoenix Fury]

Especially when R18 movies are completely fine.

I can illegally import a 12 year old indonesian boy and imprison him in my basement, so should that be legal too?

 

[myst1fy]

finally

 

[Lolsmith]

Of course

 

[Arcorn]

From what I've read of the proposal all it is doing is turning MA15+ into R18+

 

[Rafy]

That's correct Arcorn.

The Australian Christian Lobby is now supporting the proposal. Says it all really.

 

[Phoenix Fury]

And scrapping that bullshit 'refused classification'?

 

[Rafy]

RC will remain.

 

[Phoenix Fury]

Ugh...

It's called right wing government.

 

[Arcorn]

at least we won't have a blood-less and gore-less version of L4D2

I'd be guessing that it would still be refused classification.

 

[Lolsmith]

From what I've read of the proposal all it is doing is turning MA15+ into R18+

Probably going to expand the RC clause as well

That's correct Arcorn.

Yeah anything they support is more than likely not good for us

 

[cosmo kramer]

i have l4d2 on steam anyone wanna play

 

[Garygaz]

what was the way of getting l4d2 without the restrictions? could you have someone from overseas gift it to you?

 

[Rafy]

All jurisdictions are now supporting the r18+ rating, which means it can finally be implemented.
