I am all for an R+18 rating in games, such as what is already in place for movies, because it will allow something very VERY important for a game retail worker like mysef e.g. Retailers: Hi how are you today. Looking to pick that one you today are you? Well, that's an +18 rated game; show me some I.D. Don't have it? Bad luck sorry you can't buy it then. Why can't you buy it? Because it's illegal for me to sell it to you without seeing your I.D. first, that's why... (end scene) Did anybody else see what just happened then? The ONLY thing we need, and i do stress ONLY: is to make it illegal to buy a game such as those with R+18 without proper identification - PROBLEM SOLVED Now if the South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson can't get THAT through his thick, out-dated skull, then i truly believe our efforts are doomed, as it could not be any simpler - Aron Shick I have to agree with you on every point you have made.

Retailers: Hi how are you today. Looking to pick that one you today are you? Well, that’s an +18 rated game; show me some I.D. Don’t have it? Bad luck sorry you can’t buy it then. Why can’t you buy it? Because it’s illegal for me to sell it to you without seeing your I.D. first, that’s why… (end scene)

The ONLY thing we need, and i do stress ONLY: is to make it illegal to buy a game such as those with R+18 without proper identification – PROBLEM SOLVED

Now if the South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson can’t get THAT through his thick, out-dated skull, then i truly believe our efforts are doomed, as it could not be any simpler
