This kind of violence is apparently considered "high impact" in Australia and therefore completely unsuitable for gamers under the age of 18. Since the country has no gamers over the age of 18 anyway, the board decided that there was no point in allowing its sale.

Being a gamer above the age 18 in Australia is obviously a crime that hold the death penalty...
Seriously how stupid can you be. At the very least give it an 18+ rating if your head is so far up your ass to think that people will be traumatized by this game. I don't understand why people from the 1910's are assigned to choosing age ratings for video games, which are played from people from the 1990's and up. You'd assume people from the 1990's should be judging those ages but sure, act stupid.
Besides, anyone who knows games also knows that the grapics on the Source engine aren't exactly top notch and the gore in Valve games is generally kept to a minimum. I can't say I find L4D very gory, I've seen much much worse in other games which were apparently fine. So unless they increased the gore level by 500% percent I really don't see the big deal.
