This is great news! Now I can proudly wave my copy of Leisure Suit Larry; Magna Cum & not be ashamed or ridiculed. ,ah... ya!.
God this is awesome. I can't wait to see MK officially on store shelves as the first 18+ title here, it will be a glorious site to behold.
Change change gone come Chang gone come! Remember remember the 4th of Novemeber! Oh wait... That's a different song.
@LazyAza - Don't count on it. I expect that unless they resubmit it for classification, it will stay banned. Same with every other game that has been banned.
As for the actual rating, well I'm gonna wait and see some hard evidence that they are doing this properly. I expect them to just split the MA rating in half and continue to ban stuff.

Yay! Now, Hugh Jackman can finally show off his musical skills and hot body (no homo, man. Everyone knows he's hot, even guys) to the Australian folks! Whoo-hoo!!
Awesome!
About time, I say (along with pretty much everyone else). This is great news for people in Australia, they can finally get what they wanted: Sex in the Witcher 2.
.... Because that's what it was all about... Right?

Wont mean a thing really. They still have the right to refuse classification to games that they deem "unfit" Most likely games like say, gears of war 3 will be rated R18 now. It doesnt mean much to me anyway, i import games because our Australian prices are overpriced.
Previously banned games won't be automatically unbanned, unless the publishers pay for a resubmission - maybe for MK, unlikely for older games.
Of course, gamers have been importing or downloading banned games so it will really only impact the parents who buy their kids inappropriate games at EB.

This is just a move to allow them to continue to ban games while being able to make some current MA titles R. The Australian government continues to dictate what we can and can't buy.

"you can imagine that Australians who enjoy videogames are overjoyed that their country can now join the rest of the world in being treated like adults by their government"
Grats to them, but they're hardly the last country to be treated like children by their government.

@renslo Interesting that you mention Gears of War 3 because I noticed something interesting while browsing through gamerpics on XBL... The new Gears 3 gamerpics have the nifty little black R18+ icon next to them...
like a couple of people have mentioned, this doesn't change much really
they still have the right to ban games they deem unsuitable
but its progress, if anything, which is always good
