This exactly encapsulates my thoughts on the matter. I couldn't care less about libertarian theory arguments about how the government is impinging on our freedom of speech and telling adults what they can and can't watch - not only do we have no guaruntee of freedom of speech in this country (well unless you live in Victoria or the ACT - two states that have actual blls of rights), but governments all over the world do that to their citizens to varying degrees.

However what annoys me about the current system is that games considered the world over to be for adult audiences (For example Saints Row 2, or GTA4) are classified as being alright for 15 year olds here - entirely defeating the basis of the stand being taken by the OFLC, that the minds of young people need to be protected from corrupting influences (or however it is they're wording it).
