Status Report on R18+

98.2%. That’s how many of the 59,678 submissions to the Discussion Paper were Pro 18+.

With Delia Lawrie, AG from the Northern Territory, unable to attend the recent Attorney Generals meeting evidently there was no movement in regards to R18+ on their end. However our beloved government has released the Status Report on the recent R18+ Discussion Paper Submissions. 58,589 submissions were for the introduction of the R18+ rating, with only 1,089 against it.

In regards to whose who were Against 18+

  • Submissions per Age Group were fairly even across the board, with each range sitting between 10-20%.
