Petitions do nothing. Maybe back in the 80's and 90's in America, possibly. No amount of signatures is going to change Atkinson's mind. Wait until he dies or retires, then we get R18.

It's not about changing Atkinson's mind. We KNOW he won't.

It's about putting pressure upon the Government. If we show there is a LARGE backing of the public for it... they are at liberty to do something about it. There is also a election campaign in SA. We can get Atkinson replaced by a party who is pro R+18.

Even if Atkinson still the favorite - if we put a dent in his votes. Get seats our way... we will have made ground. We can get seats in other areas to further influence the Government. We need to mar his reputation and make him look the baddie.

We may be the underdog to win the war. But if we can win some of the battles...

These guys are elected representatives of the public. They are there to do our bidding. We need to show that this is what the people want.

It has been shown that most Australians want an R18 rating. Atkinson has said several times its all about the children. He doesn't care about facts like the average gamers age, or what the public thinks. He is trying to save children and his mind won't be swayed on the matter.

The only way he will get voted out is if the people in his electorate flip 180 degrees. Which I doubt will happen considering he has been elected for many years.

Thats nothing. The opposition can call for anything they want and have nothing happen. Politics are adults calling each other names nothing more.

It's either you try or you don't.
It's not a reflection upon the assholes up in politics. It's a reflection about yourself.

Is it really that hard to sign a petition? You agree with it... but you're taking actions that ironically go towards working against your own goal.

Politics is daggers behind smiles. It's a bunch of bitching, attacks and debates on the opposition to make yourself look better and get voted in. But you know what? It's the ones who do the bitching and attacks who run this world.

Sit back and do nothing, or bitch and complain with them. Only the latter will achieve anything
