THE controversial R18+ classification for games is still opposed by at least one state attorney-general, a spokesperson has confirmed.
The issue of introducing an R18+ classification for games will be raised at the next Standing Committee of Attorneys-General (SCAG) on March 28th. It has been off the political agenda since 2005.
At present, any game that exceeds an MA15+ rating must be refused classification in Australia.
The classification system can be modified if there is agreement from the Commonwealth and all state and territory attorneys-general.
