The Australian Classification Board can also classify films as X18+. In all states except Western Australia an adult can legally buy and possess X18+ rated films, yet in no state is it legal to sell such films—not even in 18+ adult retail stores. Does the board's use of X18+ classifications serve, in practice, as a further ban that hurts domestic stores compared to foreign and online retailers?
