Anti-Gamer South Australian Attorney General Quits

Posted by timothy on from the usually-the-car-holds-more-clowns dept.

dogbolter writes "South Australian Attorney General, Michael Atkinson, infamous for the banning of R18+ rated games and the censoring of political comment in Australia, has quit. The recent South Australian election provided a massive swing against Atkinson's governing labor party. As a direct result of the South Australian election result, he is standing down. Hopefully someone with half a clue will assume the vacant post and overturn the decision to ban adult oriented computer games."

    (Then again, the "massive swing" was apparently in two of Australia's smaller states, with larger elections on the horizon.)
