Didn't they ban the Steam game "RimWorld" because it contained drug use and cultivation? Apparently, "smokeleaf plant" and "yayo" cultivation in a colony simulation game was too much for the Australian government to tolerate.
What a puzzling set of priorities for a nation to just casually accept.

The reasoning is as follows: > The computer game is classified RC in accordance with the National Classification Code, Computer Games Table, 1. (a) as computer games that "depict, express or otherwise deal with matters of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults to the extent that they should not be classified." Drug use is common in video games in Australia, although most games would be classified R18+. The RC was appealed successfully, and the game was classified as R18+.
