Online, phone games don't need classifying

Laws to exempt most online and mobile phone games from classification for a further two years have passed the lower house.

New laws to exempt most online and mobile phone games from classification for a further two years have passed the lower house.

The laws are an interim measure to ensure mobile phone apps and online games are treated the same as other online content while the Australian Law Reform Commission conducts a review of the National Classification Scheme.

The Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Amendment (Online Games) Bill 2011 will now go to Senate for debate.

Nominations for the 2012 ARN IT Industry Awards open on Tuesday, June 12.
