Australia bans San Andreas

It was a matter of time before this became official.  Australia, notorious for its strict policies on movies and games (they've kind of used Crocodile Dundee as a ratings standard – just kidding), has finally banned Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas from the country.  Australian had been doing its own investigation into the Hot Coffee matter,
and now the Attorney-General has decreed that GTA would exceed its MA15+ (Mature, for 15 years and up) rating, and since that's the limit the game is therefore barred from being sold anywhere in the land down under.

So, this just further adds to the pileup of bad news for Rockstar.  For our Australian readers, how do you feel about banning a game for its content?
