An often forgotten fact is that mobile games, those tiny applications that are downloaded onto 3g phones, are not classified.
Also they are freely available to children, who often own mobiles these days, with no method of age verification either directly through there phone services like planet3 or online via services like Bigpond Games Shop (http://www.gamearena.com.au/shop/mobile/).
With all the hangups on R18+, and trying to protect children, you'd think a certain attourney general would be trying to fast track a more extensive classification system into place rather than road blocking it.
While there at it they could force the laws to be reviewd to cover all these "gaps" which currently allow children to purchase and play unclassified media with no checks in place.
