New Kotaku AU editor David has posed a very interesting question over on our sister site today: Is Kevin Rudd a gamer? Normally, the mere idea of any politician in power as a gamer strikes me as absurd, but the fact is that K-Rudd (or his staff) spends a lot of time on social networking tools like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, so why not gaming? With the latest batch of consoles (and most current PC titles too), games are becoming more and more about engaging with your fellow man, right before you blow a hole in his virtual head (sometimes you have one blown in yours instead).
Do you reckon the PM partakes in the odd bit of gaming? Would he own any consoles? Head on over to Kotaku to discuss with our gaming-obsessed brethren…

He prob plays games like my little pony. We all know serial gamers play on the interwebs and he wants to wreck that for all of us.

come on we all know this is bull because gamers are tech savy and this old bastard sure as hell isnt with his internet filter coming in to slow down the internet that will be cracked by those who have reasons to bypass it.
and if he is a gamer he probably plays cards or some bad stock game.

I go to the same school as his son. And although I don’t think Kevin Rudd plays games. His son has a Nintendo wii and plays WoW. Although there might be some father-son Mario kart games :)
