R18+ video games are a step closer to being allowed in Australia following the resignation of South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson.

Mr Atkinson's decision to leave the front bench means he will no longer be in a position to vote on changes to the country's classification system, including the introduction of an R18+ rating for games.
Earlier this year the Federal Government asked for public input on the issue and received around 60,000 submissions. A report is being prepared for the attorneys-general meeting.
