Yet another case of technofascism. This calls for nailing 95 Articles of Common Sense to the door of Parliament, because it's not even actual, really religious in the spiritual sense of the word people who are banning these games. Conroy has also slipped up multiple times with his firewall justification, lookie here:

http://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/Australian_government_admits_less_than_32%25_of_secret_censorship_list_is_related_to_underage_images

So less than 32-35% of what is being blacklisted is actually child porn. Not to mention Conroy doesn't have a leg to stand on when he opens his mouth.

It's not an issue of whether Aussies are puritanical, it's just that the ones in power at the moment are. We should be doing something like spreading awareness through Twitter like the Iranians are doing, but nobody has really replied to my saved search/#tag of #stopoznetcensorship.

If you have twitter, post your views on that hashtag about this and use an @reply to Kevin Rudd to enact a non-violent and sensible protest. That's all I have to say for now.

This really is getting annoying. First we don't get games when the rest of the world does but now they are banning games all together. And it's completely at random, like if they don't like the cover art they ban it.

Wow sex isn't even shown and it's getting censored. Fable and Fable 2 had strongly implied sex and I don't think they even got MA15+ ratings. This is utter bullshit as censorship normally is.

I can't believe some with the authority hasn't kicked that attorney general out of power yet.

That's why we have ratings- so we don't have to ban things for being inappropriate for minors. If you ban things, you're just wasting your time with the ratings.

if fable 1 is aloud in australia,which i'm sure it is, then the "sex" content reason for banning risen is irrellevent, as there is a brothol in fable 1, and the sex is implied, but never on screen.

It seems that non-Australians care a lot more than actual Australians do. If we want the game we'll find a back door.

I feel Australia is trying to veer away from the whole "convict colony" thing and more towards "Neo-Cons who hate media that's bad 4 t3h kiddiez"
