Um... yes we do. The categories of things we are allowed to watch and play has just been expanded slightly.

You are a glass half empty kinda guy. This is progress.

Just saw a Seven news item, with polititions promoting this as a stricter form of rating games. They threw in the usual expert to say it is good idea to change MA rating to R rating. If you go by the info on the news, it seems like they are not changing much, sounded like they are converting MA games to R rating, but I guess there should be more unmodified games allowed to be sold under the R rating.

Apparently there was a Today Tonight piece on the subject. I believe you may be referring to that.

If that's the case then you don't listen to them anyway.

No, it was on their main 7 news program. We are lucky, we don't get Today Tonight (7 Prime) in a regional area.
