Well there was controversy over one of Bill Henson's photo exhibits which included artistic photos of a naked 13 y/o girl not long ago. Someone complained and the police acted prematurely, seising the works. But legally there wasn't a leg to stand on. So pretty good, I think.
It's the emergency services that will have to peel you off the ground.
It's the hospital that will have to treat your stupid arse when the ambos bring you in.
The governments should charge extra for a 'no seat belt' licence to balance the extra liability you are to the system.
Eugh. Properly formatted this time:
The problem is that it is criminogenic, and therefore something necessarily regulated by government. Bullshit. You have no proof of that. I play violent video and I'm not a criminal. I also watch movies and read books that depict violence. There's no god damn difference.
Why do you think it's crimogenic? Movies have been glorifying crime and violence for decades now. If you think video games have this effect then movies certainly do. You must want to ban violent movies too, lest you be a hypocrite.
No, this has nothing to do with it. It's for the same reason films like Nine Songs got banned; because people like you got offended and felt the need to force your opinion on others.
Why do you hate free speech?
Censorship is the antithesis of free speech, you dickhead. You want free speech? Write a fucking review. Don't stop others from doing the same.

1) You should have started watching, or stopped immediately.
2) You shouldn't classify A Current Affair and Today Tonight as news. They're bullshit in a current affairs format.
Here's a thought. If rape (or another crime) was punishable by death, what if the perpetrator sentenced but the victim did not want them to die for their crime?
Of course with murder, there's no victim around to object.
Huh? The analogy is for the lower layers.
Packets are trucks driving across a network of roads. The analogy is the same no matter what protocol the packets carry.

Dane Cook is amazingly unfunny.
Seriously, I don't know how he fucking does it.
In Australia we have a minister for every little thing.
It's ridiculous.
Ministry of communications, infact.
Incidentally, Conroy is the minister for communications. 'Censorship minister' is an all too accurate joke.
Please don't assume others are ignorant because you are pedantic. He may not have explicitly voted for Rudd but he effectively voted for Rudd.

Or it could be psychosomatic.

If people find it distasteful they can simply not buy it. Keep your morality to yourself.
Australia is a PAL region, but I wouldn't be surprised if they ban it here too. They banned the first Manhunt. Go go nanny states! Yay!
Considering the name Australia dates back before the USA was formed, I'd say so.

I thought Wii games were US$49.99?
How is that not funny?
