I read this this morning: SA’s A-G steps up fight with video gamers – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and I had to comment.

No-one in Australia should be subject  to threats of intimidation this way. We have a political process and significant freedom of speech. There is no excuse for resorting to these sort of tactics to try and put a political view.  Not only that it weakens the argument by allowing Mr Atkinson to characterise all those who hold a view that R18+ video games should be allowed by the actions of a few bad apples.

I may have different views from Mr Atkinson on a number of points but I respect his right to express an opinion. He and his family should feel safe in their home.

Update: More details on the threats to Mr Atkinson from News Limited.
