"Peter Beattie called for a ban on Fable because it encouraged violence against women"
He is oddly knowledgable about this. There's no way he could know that without playing through the annoyance of having a wife in the game.
Though, the game encourages violence against men, and tempts violence against children, so I don't see how this is a particular issue.

Wait, a politician went and got him a global perspective on something?

It happen often here in Québec... The problem is they don't so when they are in power but after having take theyr retirement from the political scene...Not G. Ivingname said:
It's kind of sad in fact, all our big shot get more interesting when they leave
Most people are predicting that we won't get our R rating for another few years at least. Everybody who's in power with the exception of the ACT Attorney-General, and perhaps the Victorian AG are too conservative to give it to us despite the overwhealming support.
Please give us an R18+ rating already. I'm sure it's still going to take a few years, but when we finally start getting all the games everyone else does I'll be happy. Plus, no more games sneaking into the MA15+ category and into the hands of younger kids.
Its the Attorney-generals who are blocking it. So while this is interesting an ex prem saying this isn't that useful.
Although after the VIC attorney-general started receiving death threats for blocking it last time, maybe this time it will get through.
Both conservatives and liberals (a confusing term here as the been conservative party here are actually called the liberals) are in favor of the idea. No one really wants kids to play these games per se (well of voting age that is).
