    I believe the Coalition and the Greens have already agreed to block it. Fielding supported it IIRC, but I don't think Xenophon did.

    Censorship == baaad. Aussies lost alot of coolness points with me after I found out that they banned Leisure Suite Larry.

    I personally put it down to having no actual right of free speech in our constitution - only an implied right of free political speech.

    The original one in monochrome green with the history questions was one of the first computer games I played in Aus. Can't remember other versions being banned.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
