If Australia wants to have a legally-enforceable content rating system, that's imposing extra costs on companies and those costs will be passed on (that's just how companies roll).

Let the Aus gov't put the ratings on, prior to the release of the whatever ... all the company has to do is to give the Aus gov't the whatever in softcopy, Aus gov't then rates it, then tells the maker the rating standard and it's included on the whatever packaging.
Yep - it could cost an extra .01cent eh
