Yeah this was rumoured last week or so. Guess it was all true.

Censorship really blows.

 

[undead_moose]

Its amazing that a place with such a violent history would give a **** about kids playing games

Who let all the girls into the deadliest place on earth

 

[TakFR]

Good old torrents will keep it alive =)

 

[Zero]

Oh ****ing hell **** it, if play-asia or J-list is censored I'm going to be absolutely ****ing pissed out of my mind.

 

[T.REX]

yeah,
i dont plan to live in australia for much longer.

Just read your post on facebook Mic.

If Labour went and did this, I'd have to start voting Liberal.

Actually. I think I'll move to another country once I finish my degree.
This is stupid.

EDIT:
I mean like, I don't really mind too much. But I really hate it on principle. Even if I moved, I'd hate it for all the people stuck here. It's ludicrous, unjust, and a suppression of a genre of media that should be treated equally to other genres of media.

Let's all move to Japan. We'll rent out a smash house and have tournaments every day.

there will be ways around it. Just a browser inside a browser

I'd so tap that so hard.

Also, sigh.

*golfclap* Government, you're doing a fine job.

Mighty fine.

When will you realise that you have NO I ****ING DEA ABOUT THE ****ING INTERNET OR TECHNOLOGY FOR THAT MATTER.

YOU'RE ALL ****ING ******** 60 YEAR OLDS. **** OFF AND LEAVE OUR INDUSTRY ALONE.

 

[unreon]

I honestly can't wait till the burden of the previous generation falls off our backs and lay dead on the floor. These politicians just don't have any idea of technology or media.

What good can come from this? Seriously, what does it even do? It's not going to turn kids violent, its not going to stop piracy, its not as if kids are exposed to it unwillingly.

You can go to a local Blockbuster or Video Ezy and rent Hostel with CASTRATIONS and a whole lot more disturbing images than shooting ogres and zombies in the face ala Fallout 3.

I really cannot imagine any positives on this. There's no spin that you can apply to it. Its almost as if they're sodomising us just because, you know, they can. Keeps us on our toes.

 

[EverAlert]

brb, killing myself.

Seriously though, what the ****.

I for one support the idea to Move To Japan. Smash House ftw. <3

 

[Toby.]

This is a bit of a problem.

understatement.

 

[Toshi]

Ahh, torrents comes to the rescue once again.

Yeah, the whole idea is a bit... unrealistic. The internet is huge. People will always find a way to get around it. Not to mention the majority of serious internet users would oppose this and would probably last for about a week.

If they decide to block online stores and such, there will surely be a riot/protest.

I reckon they won't be able to make it a law, let alone enforcing it.

 

[luke_atyeo]

they're probably just **** at games. jealous ****s

screw it, ima going to japan with andrew and vyse

 

[Zero]

Our trip's three strong, and still open for people to join.

 

[M]

I'm in, might force them to localise Mother while I'm at it. >=(

 

[Sieg]

You know I'm there.

Comiket tiem.

 

[Hobobloke]

Planning on travelling the world anyway I'll just finish in Japan and live in the Smash house with you guys.

 

[Dekar289]

if the internet filter goes ahead i will murder........ cao
