Classification

What does the board do?
The classification board determines which films and computer games can be released to the public through their content, they categorize the classifications of the film to PG, M, MIA, R and X. They also classify internet content reported by the Australian Communications and Media Authority(ACMA).
How important is context in the decision making process?
The reason why context is so important Is because it can change the impact of whether a film is banned or released in a certain country, depending on the context of a film it can be offensive to that certain country because it is offensive to them but appropriate to different countries.
How is impact assessed?
Research some of the decisions the board has made in recent years.
What context has been refused classification or needed to be amended ?
