We the undersigned believe that Australia should introduce an R18+ classification for video games.

We also believe that laws should be put into place (not unlike laws for other media) where should a retailer provide R18+ classified material to minors, will be prosecuted to the extent the law provides.

We are also petitioning for the resignation of Attorney General Michael Atkinson should this petition get the numbers but fall on deaf ears as we believe he is the only Attorney General in Australia who lets his personal ideals decide the outcome for those that this affects.

We also believe that the lack of an R18+ classification hurts local business as people can illegally download said banned games or just import them, instead of paying money to local retailers where it belongs.

Any enqueries or views on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I support this petition. I think its totally unfair to remove a internet recreation activity such as Second Life and WOW. There are far more internet websites that promote child abuse than secondlife. Why should people that spend their recreational dollars on meeting people from all over the world in an interactive way such as SL. You would be much fairer if there was a gateway link that needed to be age verified for adults to access second life. What ever happened to democracy in our Country? When did politicians stop listening to the little people, especially those with a disability that use SL as their only social outlet. This Game is not all about sex, some of us build and run clubs to enjoy music from all over the world. For some people this is all they have, dont punish the minority. Think hard why you became a politition and who helped you get there! Thank you

There are many adult gamers out there and we should be able to make our own decisions. parents and stores control what mopvies kids watch so it\'s the same for games,
