Waffling Turnbull fails to disappoint fawning ABC's Leigh Sales

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull

Well, he got off to a good start, laughing off the first question by 7.30 host Leigh Sales about whether he would ever say on the program that the only poll that matters is the on one election day.

Chuckling, he said: “Well, I have only ever said that tongue-in-cheek. It’s like one of those things that many politicians say ‘we don’t all look at opinion polls’ ‘nobody looks at opinion polls’. But you’ve got to remember a single poll is a snapshot in time”.

Last week, when Mr Turnbull launched his leadership challenge against Tony Abbott, he referred to the fact the Coalition had lost the last 30 Newspolls in a row.

If we are to understand his answer, polls don’t matter anymore.

The interview quickly turned to policy direction and how Mr Turnbull planned to steer the country.

The new Prime Minister began by explaining how the Government was a Coalition government, a Liberal/National government that was “committed to ensuring that Australians were free to chose their own direction” adding that “freedom” was the key point.

Then he lost most of us.

While his predecessor Tony Abbott was renowned for using three-word slogans to get his message across, Mr Turnbull used far more. Way more.

So many more that his waffling became a source of fun on social media

Among the waffling, Mr Turnbull did manage to inform us that one of the first things his new Cabinet will tackle will be tax reform and that he would “inspire confidence”.

But when asked how he would do that if Australia’s economy either stays the same or worsens, he wasn’t so clear.

And when asked by Sales if reforms in other areas were “on the table”, the PM said that he wasn’t going to “rule things in or rule things out”.

“One of the things I am trying to do is to change the paradigm so it is a more rational one,” he said.

When Mr Turnbull tried to answer what he thought was the biggest global threat to Australia and our country’s defence policies, he wasn’t clear which terror organisation was Australia’s biggest threat.

What was clear was our PM’s view on a what he viewed was a more pressing threat, China.

Mr Turnbull told Sales that he thought in terms of our region “the rise of China”, was very concerning adding that he thought the country’s territorial claims were “counter-productive policies”.

He explained China’s actions had the potential to disrupt peace in the region.

But the real waffling didn’t begin until the Prime Minister was asked to answer what he had learnt from the last Liberal Party leadership coup, when he was ousted by Mr Abbott in 2009.

He rambled on about not being good at “analysing” himself but then went on about his success.

But the real clanger came when Sales asked the PM what he would say to people about understanding what it’s like to struggle given his background.

Mr Turnbull started by saying he didn’t grow up with a “silver spoon” but then launched into his time at the prestigious financial institution Goldman and Sachs, in New York, sparking this reaction on 
Twitter

As he rambled on about being committed to being “extremely consultative”, sales interrupted Mr Turnbull to ask him where he intended to live.

The question of where has been hot topic for the past week given he currently resides in a multi-million dollar waterfront mansion in Sydney’s east.

The Prime Minister revealed that he will continue to at his Point Piper mansion, which has been estimated to be worth $50 million, and use the official Prime Minister’s residence, Kirribili House for political functions and charity events.

“Lucy and I will continue to live and to sleep in our house in Sydney which is of course agreeably close to our grandson. Kirribili House has been used by Prime Ministers and we’ll use that for official entertaining, for charities and opportunities to support good causes.”

Rock Spider Grant Davies pleads guilty to Paedophilia and Pornography charges

Sydney dance teacher Grant Davies pleads guilty to child sex and pornography charges

Australia's "Art's" Community stands rock solid (rock spider ?) with "role model" Dennis Nona following child Rape conviction.

A Sydney dance teacher has pleaded guilty to 28 child sex and pornography offences following more than a decade worth of offending.

Grant Davies, 41, was charged last May with a string of offences on children aged between nine and 15, including sexual intercourse with a child.

Dressed in a suit, Davies - who was set to face trial this month - pleaded guilty to the charges at Sydney’s District Court on Monday.

Speaking outside court, one of the victims, who cannot be named, said he no longer dances and felt betrayed by Davies.

“It’s an abuse of trust, in a position of authority,” he told reporters.

“The criminal justice system may be slow - I think today it reached a just outcome for the victims such as myself, and the wider community.”

The victim said he hopes Davies’ guilty pleas demonstrates to similar offenders that such conduct will be prosecuted.

Davies, who ran a studio in Sydney’s inner west and trained performers for hit productions, including Billy Elliot, was initially facing more than 60 charges.

Davies will be sentenced in February 2016.

His pleas come almost a year since a mother of two of Davies’ dance students was jailed for at least one-and-a-half years for sending pictures and videos of her daughters to him.

The woman, who cannot be named, said she fell under the spell of Davies and became engulfed by stage ambitions for her daughters who had been accepted into Davies’ exclusive Sydney dance school.

Judge Peter Zahra said last year that for almost three years the mother took numerous photos of her daughters for Davies, and some of the pictures had depicted the girls performing sexually explicit acts.

Texts allegedly sent between Davies and the mother in 2011 about her daughters, include requests by the dance teacher for some “special G-shots”.

When the mother later sent sexually explicit photos of her daughters, Sydney’s District Court heard last year that Davies responded: “Now that has made me excited. I’m so lucky.”

The mother had told the court she was scared of Davies, and had described him as domineering and aggressive.

She feared he would punish her children by kicking them out of starring roles in his company’s dance productions or remove them altogether.
