The ALRC is conducting a review of the classification system in Australia. As part of this review, the ALRC will hold community focus groups to test the kind of content that may be permissible in higher level classification categories (MA15+ and above, including the Refused Classification category). This is a pilot project that will test a methodology for possible further assessment panels that might be held to determine community standards with regards to classification categories in the future.If you are over 18, are willing to "view material which they may find offensive, confronting and disturbing", are willing to travel to Sydney (as Storm points out in the comments, they will cover your airfare) and most of all are willing to put some your own time into helping Australians get better a better classification system, then hit up the application form.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking while reading what it was about. Seems like a massive waste of money as well. Like for f*** sake, is it that hard to work out how to classify stuff. Put me in charge and I'll do it.

Firstly they are only holding 2 but you've got 1 of 3 days to choose from including a saturday. There's no way I can make a Saturday and that's almost guaranteed to be one of the days to show fairness, so my chances of going are already halved.
So few people are selected, I'm going to have to really think about my app. Wish it was 25wol, then I could bust out a rhyme.
And as far a cross-section of Australians go, It's bad there too: a game playing IT worker living in Sydney :-(

If it was purely games, I'd probably be more likely to go.
