Former leader of the country Kevin Rudd is a handball enthusiast to put it lightly. But he’s been taking his hobby to an extreme new level lately, and frankly I’m concerned.
He’s just recovered from recent knee surgery, and you’re kidding yourself if you thought that’d stop him from being an absolute schoolyard menace.
Earlier this week he dusted off the boots for a match at Brisbane’s John Paul College against, you guessed it, kids. But that’s not where his antics end. He also challenged Kyle Sandilands to a game on Friday, where he was absolutely obliterated by the radio host.
But tonight he upped the ante once again, challenging Rove McManus to a best-of-three match on Saturday Night Rove. Rove is back, people aren’t that stoked about it, and apparently it involved handball segments now. Yep, I’m as confused as you are.
Yes. This is how the man who controlled the entire nation, Kevin ’07, chooses to live his life on that high-paying political retirement package.

Honestly, I have more than a few questions. First of all, why the fuck is the former PM so obsessed with a game that’s designed for 11-year-olds? And second of all, how do I get him to come down to the Pedestrian.tv offices for a 1v1 match?
K Rudd took to Twitter earlier this month to share a warning that he was back, and ready to kick some handball ass.
“So any of you guys who are looking for a handball championship game, I’m available,” he said.”Get ready to die.”
To all you handball fiends. I’m back. And I’m here to win. pic.twitter.com/KHI8nPKwEf

Kevin 07′, who kicked off the start of our wild political rollercoaster when he was booted out of office in 2010, is currently touring the country playing handball to promote the National Apology Foundation. So, at least he’s whooping ass at handball for a good cause.
Happy Saturday, the guy who used to run the country is now playing handball against Rove McManus. Yep. Cool.
