Yes, to make it legal throughout australia
In the letter we received from Michael Atkinson he stated that:
"In Australia there is merit in a national classification scheme that requires unanimity between jurisdictions. State and Territory boarders are incapable of restricting media to jurisdiction: once games classified R18+ are available in one State they will be readily available in others."
In Queensland computer games are regulated by two Acts:
* The Federal Act: Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995
* A State Act: Classification of Computer Games and Images Act 1995
A small adjustment in the State Act could mean that computer games refused classification under the Federal Act would then be able to be Classified R18+ under the State Act. This would make those games legally available in Queensland.
