What is one relatively unknown thing that your country does much better than elsewhere, but that most people don't know about? (lemmy.world)

Agreed except for the archaic rating system for video games. Gonna tell full adults they can't handle seeing a drug in a game that's called by its real name? That's pretty ridiculous.

Yeah, video game ratings in Australia aren't great. Australia didn't even have an adult (R18+) rating for video games until 2013. Before then, all games rated higher than MA were illegal in Australia. Some games were banned, while others were modified to reduce violence, remove sexual themes, remove drug use, etc.
