MICHAEL Atkinson says his family is more at risk from angry video gamers than outlaw motorcycle gangs. The South Australian Attorney-General revealed in an interview aired last night that a "threatening note from a gamer" was placed under his door early one morning.


Quote from the article:

"I feel that my family and I are more at risk from gamers than we are from the outlaw motorcycle gangs who also hate me and are running a candidate against me," he said on ABC TV's Good Game. "The outlaw motorcycle gangs haven't been hanging around my doorstop at 2am. A gamer has." Mr Atkinson was involved in introducing tough new laws to outlaw bikie gangs in South Australia several years ago. At the time he said politicians and public officials had to put themselves "on the line" to take the gangs on. The comment on Good Game is the latest volley in a war of words between Mr Atkinson and people who support the introduction of an R18+ rating for video games. Australia is the only Western country without an adult rating for games. Mr Atkinson has been the most vocal opponent of introducing one and has the power to veto changes to the classification system.
