MA Steps Down As AG

So anyone who has taken an interest in the whole R18+ rating for video games debate knows that for the rating to be accepted, there must be a unanimous vote by the Attorney-Generals, and every previous vote has been stopped by a single man, South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson. This led to a gaming political party running for Atkinson's seat in Croyden this year, and while they managed to make an impressive effort (pulling about 3-4% of votes at last update) the seat of Croyden was retained by Atkinson. However, Reports are saying that Atkinson has chosen to step down from his role as Attorney-General to make way for new blood. What this means is that hopefully we will soon see the creation of an R18 rating for games and maybe an acknowledgement that gaming is more than a hobby for thieves and criminals. So, Congratulations to Gamers4Croyden for making an effort to better represent gamers and giving them a voice to be heard, and congratulations to Michael Atkinson for his electoral win... even if i would have voted against him.
