South Australia's Attorney-General John Rau says he doubts new classification rules for video games are being applied rigorously and will write to the Federal Government seeking scrutiny of the Classification Board process involved.
Mr Rau said the South Australian Government had backed introduction of an R18+ classification and tightened MA15+ rules but he questioned the application of the rules since their introduction last January.
He said more than a dozen video games released this year had been given a MA15+ rating in Australia but higher age classifications in European countries and the United States.
