Australia's anti-Mature-rating Attorney-General a Nutter?
Australia's censorship ratings are again under pressure.
Down under, games cannot be given a "Mature" (+18) rating and this effectively means that if a game doesn't get a rating because it's f.i. too violent, it just gets banned.
In December, it became clear that five Attorney-Generals that are responsible for the rating system actually saw the light and are in favor of including an 18+ rating. However, in order for this idea to pass and become a law, six Attorney-Generals are necessary and that last one, Michael Atkinson, didn't want to play ball.
Earlier this week, that same Michael Atkinson commented on some new internet censorship laws he wanted to see pass. The laws would mean that nobody would be allowed to comment anonymously or with a fake nickname on the upcoming elections of March 20th and that every person commenting would have to include his real name and postal code. If people or businesses wouldn't comply, they would face charges from $1250 to $5000.
Sound weird? It gets better.
On Tuesday, Atkinson told DMG Radio WHY he wanted to see these laws passed: the Liberal Party are using anonymous comments to push their own agenda:
The opposition clearly seems to go in that direction as they've requested Australia's Prime Minister to sack the guy:

On Tuesday, Atkinson told DMG Radio WHY he wanted to see these laws passed: the Liberal Party are using anonymous comments to push their own agenda:
"I'll give you an example; repeatedly in the AdelaideNow website one will see commentary from Aaron Fornarino of West Croydon. That person doesn't exist," he said.
"That name has been created by the Liberal Party in order to run Liberal Party commentary."
Now comes the big joke: Mr. Fornarino actually DOES exist and apparently lives only a few hundred meters away from Atkinson's electorate office. Maybe someone should investigate Atkinson for having paranoid schizophrenia? "That name has been created by the Liberal Party in order to run Liberal Party commentary."
The opposition clearly seems to go in that direction as they've requested Australia's Prime Minister to sack the guy:
Shadow attorney-general Vickie Chapman said Mr Atkinson's comments and actions, despite repealing the censorship laws, meant he was unfit for office and in breach of the ministerial code of conduct.
"It is unacceptable for a minister to diminish the reputation of a member of the public, indeed anyone, recklessly or deliberately," Ms Chapman said.
"It is not acceptable that the Premier do nothing about this.
I guess Mr. Atkinson doesn't really cope well with people giving negative feedback."It is unacceptable for a minister to diminish the reputation of a member of the public, indeed anyone, recklessly or deliberately," Ms Chapman said.
"It is not acceptable that the Premier do nothing about this.
