NSW Attorney-General wants GTA banned
news NSW Attorney-General Greg Smith has unexpectedly called for the popular Grand Theft Auto video game series and other violent games to be banned — not just classified R18+ as suitable for adult use.
“I think they should be banned,” the Liberal MP said in a Seven News broadcast aired last night and available online (see above). Smith pointed out one of the GTA games “invoves a prostitute giving sexual favours for money to a man in a car, and then when she gets out, he comes out with a semi-automatic rifle, and shoots her dead. Now what good does that do anybody?” Smith asked.
The comments represent something of an unexpected departure for the NSW Government from the common stance on adult-oriented video games that attorneys-general around the nation appear to have taken to support the establishment of an R18+ classification for video games.
