Would you say it only fuels piracy?
Our censorship laws are very unusual in that they seem to pretain only to video games. Sure, there are limits on TV, but we'll have thing here in primetime that in the US can only be screened on cable. We don't mind TV violence or TV swearing, yet when it comes to video games, an epic shitstorm errupts the likes of which not even Germany sees. That's usually because they subtly change things to PG before the population realises.
Also, yes it would fuel piracy but only a tiny bit as it isn't as bad as it seems. Now the rediculous price hiking on the other hand...

We need leg protectors ourselves. There's a thick carpet of the blighters around. The protectors have to be coated in plastic or they'll crawl up your leg and gouge your eyes.

Do Australians plan on taking over third world countries such as Indonesia and Thailand? If so, I'm willing to help >:)

Have you ever met and aborigine? Did you know that only 3% of your country's population is made up of aborigines, yet over half your jail population is made up of them? Do you also know that Australians have awesome accents?

It really is an epidemic. Occasionally I go over to a mate's place, and we go around in the paddock basher with a rifle just culling the bastards.

Manly Sea-Eagles. Get into a proper football. (Raises flame shield from all the Victorians)

3%?! Is that all? There's tonnes where I live. Sometimes can be right annoying when they're bold enough to go and knick stuff right off your front lawn with you watching >:(
And yes, we do have amazing accents.
