Michael Atkinson in the infamous South Australian attorney general has finally accepted that his ideals are outdated and has announced his resignation from politics.
However the kicker is that he is still obviously quite the good politician and even though he has announced his resignation he will only be stepping down after the next full election in… 2014. Democracy at its finest.
Obviously the archaic lack or R18 rating in Australia is now coming to an end but depending on how pedantic Michael really is it could take up to 4 years for the laws to be altered.

He’s resigned his position as state Attourney General, which is how he was able to block the R18+ rating until now, but his exit is no guarantee that we’ll automatically get the new classification accepted :pouty:

You want his kids to die from gaming… yet another great comment from the gaming community. :ermm:
I hope his kids show him that the vast majority of gamers are intelligent, normal, happy and sociable human beings.

LOL @ gamers being intelligent, normal, happy, sociable. Stop spreading these myths, we all know gamers are cheetos eating, diaper wearing, eye-brow shaving misfits.
