Australia compromises of the main island, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands. Australia has maritime borders with [[Indonesia]], [[New Zealand]], [[Papua New Guinea]], [[Solomon Islands]], Timor-Leste and [[Vanuatu]]. Australia gained a further degree of independence from the [[United Kingdom]] on October 9, 1942 with the passing of the Statute Westminster Adoption Act (giving Australia's parliament that ability to act independently from the British government, although this had started from September 3, 1939). Full independence for the Australian government took place on March 3, 1986 with acts going through both the British and Australian parliaments. The British monarch remains Australia's head of state. The capital of Australia is [[:wp:Canberra\|Canberra]].

	~~'''~~[[~~wp:Australia\|Australia~~]]''' is ~~a country in the southern hemisphere, a neighbour to~~ [[~~New Zealand~~]].

	~~The country's~~ [[Australian Classification Board~~\|classification board~~]] provides ~~the age classification~~ of ~~all~~ media ~~in the country, including video game releases such as~~ [[Grand Theft Auto]]~~. The majority of the GTA series is~~ rated MA15+~~, however~~ some ~~editions of the games~~ have ~~drawn the~~ RC ~~rating~~ ("Refused Classification"). ~~[[Grand Theft Auto:~~ San Andreas]] was ~~famously re-rated after the [[Hot Coffee]] debacle~~, ~~the OFLC changing its original MA15+ rating~~ to ~~RC. The re-release of the game saw it obtain the the~~ MA15+ ~~rating again,~~ after ~~the Hot Coffee material~~ was ~~edited out~~. [[Rockstar]] produced a different ~~version~~ of [[Grand Theft Auto ~~IV]]~~ for ~~retail in the Australian/~~New Zealand ~~market~~ to ~~meet Australian OFLC MA15+ guidelines - no~~ blood ~~pools form~~ beneath dead bodies, ~~prostitute '~~services~~' are shown~~ from ~~an obscuring angle (and no options are available)~~, ~~and injury decals are not shown on~~ the ~~protagonist or on NPCs when they are wounded. The~~ [[PC]] version of the game, however, remains uncensored. The international version of GTA IV was eventually submitted for rating in New Zealand by a retailer, and was passed with an 18+ rating, allowing the uncensored version to be sold there.		Video games are rated by the [[Australian Classification Board]], which also provides ratings for other forms of media. Most [[Grand Theft Auto]] games are rated MA15+ although some (such as [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]) have received or were reclassified to have an RC ("Refused Classification") rating. GTA San Andreas was, however, reclassified back to an MA15+ after it was re-released. [[Rockstar Games]] have produced different versions of Grand Theft Auto games for Australia and neighbouring New Zealand to removed pools of blood from beneath dead bodies, to blur the use of a [[prostitutes]] services and to remove the appearance of injuries from characters after being attacked. Frequently, however, the [[Personal Computer\|PC]] version of these games are not edited.

	~~Media that receive a "Refused Classification"~~ rating ~~are banned from sale in the country; it has historically been particularly easy~~ for games ~~to receive~~ this ~~rating, as there~~ was ~~no 18+ classification~~ for games. ~~As of 2013, however,~~ the R18+ rating ~~has been available~~ for ~~video games. Games which do receive the RC rating must be edited to meet MA15+ standards to obtain an Australian release~~.		In [[2013]], Australia introduced an R18+ age rating for video games, although initially this restriction was not fully used allowing for a number of video games to have a higher rating (and thus more previously banned content). The new restriction was passed after Governor General [http://www.agd.sa.gov.au/about_us/ministers.php Michael Atkinson] ended his opposition to the rating shortly before retiring having blocked any potential R18+ rating for many years.

	Note that the classification board do not decide ratings policy, but merely enforce it - changes to the classification system, such as providing an 18+ rating for games, must be authorised with a unanimous vote from all state attorneys-general. Attorney General [~~http:~~/~~/www.agd.sa.gov.au/about_us/ministers.php Michael Atkinson~~] ~~of South Australia was the lone dissenting vote regarding an 18+ category for video games for a very long time.~~		==Australian characters==

	~~In the~~ [[~~GTA~~ III ~~Era~~]] ~~games, references are made to a war between the [[United States]] and Australia.

He 'soon realizes this is a terrible idea as the place is full of savages that annoy everyone' and starts a brief relationship with [[Molly (GTA V)\|Molly]] but kills her because her accent annoyed him. He is then arrested and put on trial but manages to escape and 'rows back to civilization'.
