Australia to receive edited version of Fallout 3?

Rumours are circulating that an edited version of Fallout 3 is to be released in Australia that will censor the drug references that got it banned in the first place. Check the following sites for news on it:

Frankly, I think it's quite ridiculous how Fallout 3 got banned. Perhaps it's again another publicity stunt by the OFLC to show how ridiculous the Australian rating system is for computer games (i.e. we have no R18+ rating but other media do).
