It’s all well and good for us consumers to bitch about the lack of an R18+ rating in video games, but it’s another thing altogether when politicians start doing it for us. The Hon Kate Jones MP has sponsored a government petition up in Queensland to bring change to the current classifications scheme.
So you need a porn fix and your internet connection is down. What do you do? If you’re a dirty perv and happen to live in Queensland, it seems that you head to the local public library, download some hardcore stuff and start flogging your junk.
Have you been downloading gigabytes of porn off your neighbours unsecured Wi-Fi connection? Do you live in Queensland? Then you could be all out of luck, with a report by Asher Moses at the SMH Brett Winterford at ITNews that Queensland police will be pro-actively seeking out unsecured wireless networks to warn homes and businesses that they are open to fraud and identity theft.
Gizmodians living outside the major metropolitan areas who have been hanging out for access to the 24 hour HD sports channel, One HD, your time is almost here.
The SUNA traffic channel has just launched traffic alerts for the Gold Coast, to accompany their alerts for Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. I wonder if they can say “Don’t drive here – everything’s underwater“.
If you’re a Queenslander looking for some Apple Store love, get ready for some action.

We know it was one of you. All the pieces of the puzzle fit. I mean, what kind of person would find the idea of hacking into a digital road sign funny, if not a Gizmodian? Not to mention that we sort of mentioned just how easy the entire process was.
For everyone who missed out on the apparently awesome Game On exhibition that was in Melbourne earlier this year, you’re about to get a second chance to relive the glory days of gaming. You know, the time when Wonder Boy was the single best platformer on the market, and Mario was a little blocky around the sides?
The catch is that the exhibition is going to be held in Queensland this time, at the State library. Which sucks for Sydneysiders like me, who’ve been hopped over like Koopa shell on the exhibition’s road to success.
The Game On exhibition will open its doors on November 17 and kick on through to Feb 15 next year, making it the perfect summer holidays adventure to take your kids. Or yourselves. There’s also a Game On party happening on Saturday, November 22, if you can somehow manage to score some tickets to that.
