    For the first time in 20 years, the Australian Federal Government looks intent on updating the National Classification Scheme.

    Attorney-General Robert McClelland announced that the review would be conducted by the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC), which will conduct a widespread public consultation across the community and industry.

    The review has been sparked by outdated classification issues in the gaming sector and will also be core to plans for a proposed national internet filter.
