Online Australian R Rating petition for games

Zdnet reports that there is an online petition pushing for an R rating video games category in Australia, in response to the failed recent proposal.

"The fact that a R18+ classification does not exist for video games when it does for film appears an unfathomable double standard. Indeed, in November 2001 the R18+ classification for films celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in Australia. Yet today, no R18+ rating exists at all in the category of video games. In this regard, Australia is certainly lagging behind the rest of the world, as many other nations such as Japan and New Zealand have a video game rating system that includes a R18+ classification."

I'm not sure how successful online petitions are, but you can participate and view the signings here.
