the other thing is this, and this is the only valid point Atkinson makes, kids will get their pudgy little fingers on it anyway, and there's several reasons for this.
there is more fear from retailers of fines for selling a game before a certain date than there is of a fine for selling a game to a minor. There are systems in supermarkets that monitor the sales of cigarettes. Start asking people for ID in games stores when they bring up a MA15+ game and they look under 25.
the big key is making parents more aware of what they child is doing. there has been government campaign asking parents "what is your child looking at on the internet?", but nothing with regards to what their kid might be playing in the middle of the lounge room.
greater awareness in parents AND better methods of sales in video games might actually change the minds of the people who the politicians represent
