Target Australia decided to ban the controversial Grand Theft Auto V game to address the petition of Change.org, which got thousands of signatures from people wanting to ban the game that encourages players to murder or abuse women for entertainment.

GTA V passed the Australian Classification Board and was marked with a rating of R18+, limiting the title to adults. Three women survivors of violence started the petition that condemns sexual violence for players to earn health points or proceed to the next stage.
