The Classification Board rated Maia Kobabe’s GENDER QUEER (2019) 'Unrestricted' in Apr. 2023. Three months later, the Review Board agreed. That was quashed by the Federal Court of Australia in Nov. 2024. Six-months later, the fresh review they ordered has upheld the rating.

A second MA15+(Strong Horror Violence) for SILENT HILL F. Backdated to 25 March & noted as a ‘Title Change’. It was submitted not via IARC , but by Konami to the Classification Board. So it appears they had already made a submission at the time of the IARC RC. #SILENTHILLf
