It seems a clever soul has gained the support of a local MP here in QLD and
generated an e-petition in support of an R18+ rating within the QLD
Government. I’m sure many of you are thinking, “Another petition? Well,
that’s useless”.

Not exactly; E-Petitions that gain significant amounts of support get
officially submitted to parliament for discussion, and at the very least,
puts the issue in the forefront of the state assembly for a while.

As a result, it may even get some media play, or (hopefully) become a pet
project for a committee and encourage support. In any case, it’s another cog
in the growing practical support machine to change the outdated and
basically ridiculous rating system that has neutered games like *Fallout 3*
, *Left4Dead 2, *and *Grand Theft Auto IV* to name but a few.

More info and link post jump.

It’s worth noting that you cannot sign the petition if you don’t live, or at
the very least, don’t have an active address, in QLD. If you do, please
contribute your signature and show your support.

Many campaigns for change in QLD have begun with one of these, and it’s
certainly a great start to push the QLD Attorney General into action and
pledging his support for a change in the system.
