I guess we're finally ready to join the rest of the world on gaming censorship, still looks like it has a few more hoops to go through.. but this is promising at the very least.

Every Australian state and territory — bar NSW — today agreed "in principle" to the introduction of an R18+ classification for games in what has been called an "historic agreement".

The ministers met in Adelaide today at the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General (SCAG) meeting to discuss the fate of the long-disputed R18+ for games.

"We have today struck an historic agreement," said Federal Minister for Home Affairs Brendan O'Connor.

Despite O'Connor's insistence that the issue be resolved during today's meeting, NSW abstained from the R18+ vote today, whilst all other states and territories agreed, in principle, to the introduction of an R18+ for games.
