No R rating for games in Australia

It looks like we'll continue to miss certain games on our shelves, or have them dumbed down for our safety..

"VIDEO games rated higher than MA15+ will remain banned in Australia after a meeting of federal, state, and territory ministers rejected the proposal for an R rating.

The Standing Committee of Attorneys General, which is meeting in Perth, rejected the proposal this morning.
There was no formal vote on the issue because the proposal needed the unanimous support of all nine federal, state and territory ministers to succeed and it became apparent this would not occur."

Australian IT has the report. Gamepower has more details.
