Update to modernise and harmonise the Classification Guidelines 2025 - submission
In this submission, ALIA supports the goals of the review: a practical renewal of the classification framework rather than a wholesale redesign, with the aim of achieving a simpler and more consistent approach across all media.
ALIA also strongly supports the conclusions drawn from the stakeholder consultation – that classification decisions should be grounded in evidence of harm rather than morality; that clearer signposts should be provided for the most harmful content; and that guidelines should be made more accessible with streamlined processes.
