Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 6 November 2012general_report
The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Enforcement Amendment Bill 2012, focusing on parliamentary sovereignty, law-making power, and uniformity. It raised concerns about potential access to R 18+ games by minors if the bill isn't enacted promptly and the 'dilution' of the Refused Classification category.
Impact
Minors are at risk of accessing R 18+ content if the bill is delayed. Retailers face uncertainty regarding compliance. The Attorney General is tasked with providing clarifications. The WA Parliament's law-making power is impacted by the NCCS.
