Does this man look like he cares?
South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson has landed himself spot number six in Zoo Weekly’s annual Top 50 People We Hate List. I wonder why.
Atkinson outranked accused child sex offender Dennis Ferguson, Toadie from Neighbours, and Corey Worthington. Good effort.

6th most hated man in Australia…Theres a surprise!
This tool Michael Atkinson needs to wake up.
By refusing an R18+ rating, the goverment is encouraging PIRACY. Instead of supporting our economy, the gamers just simply import the banned games, or just download them.
And thinking of the children is just a crock of s**t, the average gamer’s age is 28. Yes, TWENTY-EIGHT!!!
So why is Atkinson so concerned about little kiddies playing violent games?
Most parents don’t give a flying f**k about what game their child plays. Mine don’t, and the same applies to my friends and their parents. Most parents just buy the games to make the child shut up.
When a game is banned from Aus, the game developers, gamers across Australia, and even our economy suffer.
Thought I’d make some points there…

Meh I disagree
Sometimes people dont know what they want and enlitened people such as me tell them what they need.
R18+ games could get into the hands of children unlike alcohoel, cigarettes, porn, R18+ movies and tv and knives.
Just because the other 6 attourny general agree we need it doesnt mean they konw more than me.
