Michael

The man above is Michael Atkinson. South Australian Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Veterans' Affairs, and Minister for Multicultural Affairs.

According to the oracle that is wikipedia:

Atkinson is responsible for maintaining Australia's status as the only Western country without a "Mature" rating for video games, despite overwhelming demand for such a rating. Due to this, Atkinson is often at the receiving end of criticism from the international Video Gaming community. Other related consequences include the sale of what are rated "Mature" games in other countries to minors and repeated inconsistent decisions from the OFLC who are "stuck between a rock and a hard place". He has withdrawn his support for a discussion paper and public consultation on the subject of an "R18+" rating, although the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General still has this issue on its agenda, it is improbable that there will be unanimity which will result in introduction of the rating being almost impossible.

This site is coming soon, but rather than waiting around for something exciting to happen, go here.
