I wonder if Martin Haese, the Lord Mayor of Adelaide, is a closet gamer or perhaps an anime fan in denial!

Well I’ll leave you to speculate but his enthusiasm opening AVCon 2017 was unmistakable.

It’s great to know the Adelaide City Council supports events like AVCon and Martin’s presence Friday let us all know his heart is right there in it!

Gamer; anime fan or neither he is certainly a supporter of youth culture (young and old alike).
