Back in March, retailer GAME started a petition asking customers to support the introduction of an R18+ rating for games in Australia. That petition has proven to be a success, with the retailer collecting more than 70,000 responses from consumers supporting an R18+ classification.

　　According to a press statement, GAME now plans to present a selection of its findings at the next Standing Committee of Attorneys-General meeting on May 7, although it's uncertain if R18+ will be on the agenda. GAME also plans to present its findings to Federal Home Affairs Minister Brendon O'Connor. For an R18+ rating to be passed in this country, all of the nation's attorneys-general must agree on the change.

　　GAME is not the only retailer to have pushed the cause of R18+ in Australia. Earlier this year, EB Games teamed up with pro-R18+ group Grow Up Australia to help drum up submissions to the federal government's public consultation into the R18+ rating, with the partnership garnering more than 16,000 official submissions.

　　Earlier this week GameSpot AU got in contact with the office of John Rau, the new South Australian attorney-general, and found out that despite earlier reports, he currently has no opinion on R18+ and is awaiting the results of the discussion paper before taking a stance.
