Hey all,<br><br>If you are in Queensland and want to show you support, see below link<br><br>Michael Nadler<br>DSG.<br><br><br><br><a href="http://gamerlimit.com/2009/11/queenslander-support-the-qld-govt-petition-for-r18-rating-in-australia/">http://gamerlimit.com/2009/11/queenslander-support-the-qld-govt-petition-for-r18-rating-in-australia/</a><br>
<p>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”.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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outdated and basically ridiculous rating system that has neutered games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 <em>Fallout 3</em>, <em>Left4Dead 2, </em>and <em>Grand Theft Auto IV</em> to name but a few.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p><br><br><a href="http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/view/EPetitions_QLD/CurrentEPetition.aspx?PetNum=1346&lIndex=-1">http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/view/EPetitions_QLD/CurrentEPetition.aspx?PetNum=1346&lIndex=-1</a><br>
