TONY Abbott has nudged a kid out of the way during a schoolyard game of footy.

The federal opposition leader, who's known for his competitive streak, visited a Catholic college in Kevin Rudd's electorate on Friday.

He spent time on the field with students and had just retired to the sidelines when the ball again caught his eye.

As he charged off again in quick pursuit, a skinny young kid in a wide-brimmed hat got in the way.

With a sidestep to rival Benji Marshall, Mr Abbott nudged the boy aside leaving the student with his hands on his hips and looking slightly miffed.

The visit was marked by another amusing moment as the would-be prime minister posed for photos with students at the library.

Behind the press pack, one of his staffers locked his eyes and fervently pointed to her brilliant smile, like a stage-mum trying to elicit a winning grin from her offspring.

Mr Abbott's own media antics didn't stop him from taking a dig at Mr Rudd's.

"It's all about managing the media, it's not about running the country," he said.

"That's the whole point with Mr Rudd. He's not interested in governing, he's interested in celebrity."

Mr Rudd enjoyed a rock star reception while he walked through the Queen Street Mall on Friday.

A large crowd of people shook his hand and insisted on having photos with the prime minister, including a group of squealing teenage school girls.

But not everyone was impressed, an older man in a suit stared at Mr Rudd and shouted, "Everyone gets a photo with boofy. Hey boof head," before walking off.

Earlier, Mr Rudd launched a book about Australia's culture at a Milton cafe in Brisbane's inner west.

During his speech, he referred to the Australian political television comedy series The Hollowmen.

"I've wanted to go to Antarctica for years but ever since The Hollowmen episode that made a prime ministerial trip to Antarctica a perfect media diversion, I've been too petrified to even think of it," he said.

At that moment, a promotional backdrop for the book collapsed behind him.

Flinching, Mr Rudd said that settled the case.
