BlogThe Australian Classification Board determined that 2011's Mortal Kombat was Refused Classification meaning it is now illegal for the title to be sold, hired or advertised in Australia. The Classification Review Board is to meet on the 11th of March to review this decision.1 Submissions can be made to the board via email or post and I have already submitted my own comments specifically regarding the impact of the violence of fatalities (given they are not interative) and comparing some of their specific comments to relatively recent classification decisions to other MA15+ films including Kick-Ass and Silent Hill.
Here's hoping they change their decision given that we still have no idea when/if our law will be changed to accomodate an R18+ rating (adults only) for video games.
