Just like the UK variant, this is an official government petition to look into the issue. Unlike the UK variant, the only signature threshold is 50 signatures - that said, more is better in this case.

Deadline: 20 May 2024

Here’s the Stop Killing Games campaign site for those unaware or not from Australia.

You're right, people shouldn't try anything and just buy the fresh new release instead.

It may or may not work out but the only way for things to change is by bringing the issue to the lawmakers - they can't fix something they aren't aware of.
