South Australia's Rating Complication

GameSpot reports another ratings issue in Australia besides the ongoing efforts to approve an adult-oriented R18+ rating for games sold in the country. South Australian Attorney-General John Rau tells them he plans to introduce legislation alongside the R18+ bill to prevent the sale of MA15+ rated games to those under the age of 18 as well. "Complementary South Australian legislation [on R18+ for games] is likely to be introduced in State Parliament in May," Rau told GameSpot AU. "However, my long-stated position has been to protect children by creating a clearer distinction between games that may be suitable for children and those that are suitable only for adults. Therefore, my intention is that the South Australian legislation will prevent the sale of MA15+ games to minors. This move will give parents greater certainty about the appropriateness of games for their children."
