Fallout 3 banned from Australia?

It appears that the OFLC has banned Fallout 3 from ever reaching our shores by slapping a RC (Refused Classification) label on the game. According to an article on Gamespot, it would appear that the reason the OFLC banned it was because there was some drug use in Fallout 3 (which is totally ridiculous considering how many other games that WERE classified had drug use (e.g. Jagged Alliance 2, Starcraft, etc.). It's true that in these other games perhaps the drug use wasn't as graphic but regardless, thanks to this ruling adults are prevented on playing one of the most anticipated games of 2008 from a franchise that is known for its excellent storyline. Once again, it's become apparent that Australia needs an R18+ rating.
