Opinion and Analysis

To their credit, rather than simply shoving the decision once again into the too hard basket, the result of the SCAG meeting on this debate was to look to public consultation on the issue.  It turns out that this was the actual question up for debate and a positive outcome on this question does seem to be progressive.

The Interactive Entertainment Association of Australia (IEAA) CEO Ron Curry is also buoyant about the result; "Our belief is that good legislation comes from a reflection of community sentiment, so the process that the attorney-general is outlining gives us the opportunity to move this into the public forum for discussion."

"We understand that there is a robust legislative process that things must go through, so we have to work through that whole process."

Details of the public consultation are yet to be made public.
