EveryonePlays: NSW Government Responds – Part 6

PALGN Feature | Two letters from the Office of the NSW Attorney General.

Hi All,

I’m attaching two letters from the Office of the NSW Attorney General.

The first, dated the 12th April 2010, simply acknowledges receipt of our own letter. Around mid April, the PALGN / EveryonePlays / GAME petition count was well and truly on the way to hitting 50,000+ signatures. As you’ll notice, the second letter comes after this on 28th April, 2010, providing a more detailed response.

While acknowledging consideration of views raised in the R18+ classification discussion paper, it is clear the government is still some way off making a final decision.

More responses from Attorneys-General to follow.

Best,

Roland

While it's nice to have some correspondence, I suppose, these letters seem to be the basic "we've heard you, yeah, yeah, now go look at these documents so you keep quite"-style responses, so it's hard to actually gauge what how things might be changing. I don't think one could really expect anything different though, to be honest.

It's good that we're kept up to date with this stuff - thanks!

Ah thanks for supplying my morning dose of frustration, we are all watching this with much interest over here in Kiwiland, as we are always fascinated by ridiculous bureaucratic hypocrisy plus those censored releases made for the AU market are often what distributors dump on us too.
Can't wait to see this denial of basic human rights successful resolved so that I can move back to NSW

I got the exact same letters as those, just to shut out any doubt that they're form letters.

Isn't it really only the South Australia DA that is stopping this from really going forward? Or have things changed?

Things have changed. Said DA quit at this years SA election. Now we don't really know where the issue stands, except that Rob Hulls, the Victorian DA, is FOR the change. There is a Victorian election due as well, though, so who knows?

Dear Mr Kulen,

I refer to your letter to the Attorney General, on the subject of the classification of computer games.

The Attourney General has asked me to advise you that computer games are games that are played on a computer. He is also of the opinion that they can be played on things called "consoles".

Rest assured, the Attorney General is committed to a public consultation process regarding the precise definition of 'computer games' and to the outcome of such an agreement amongst all Attorneys-general.

Thankyou for your letter,
Mr Telling. U. Whatchano
