We will not be supporting the referral. The classification scheme provides for the Classification Board to classify films, computer games and certain publications. Australians rely on classification to make informed media choices, especially when it comes to what content to show to their kids, but successive reviews have found that the classification system is long overdue for reform. In March this year the government announced a two-stage process to reform the classification framework. The government will commence consultation later this year and welcomes the participation of all those interested in the classification scheme through that process.
