4. Polls show Malcolm Turnbull most popular PM for 5 years.

The latest Newspoll has Malcolm Turnbull surging ahead of Labor for the first time since the Coalition Government’s first budget.

The poll put the PM as the most popular prime minister in more than five years with 55 per cent rating him as the preferred prime minister.

The Australian writes that this is the highest rating since Julia Gillard in July 2010 and 18 points greater than Mr Abbott’s last poll two weeks ago.

Bill Shorten’s support is now the lowest level for any leader in six years.

The Coalition’s primary vote jumped five points to 44 per cent. The Newspoll shows that this is its highest level since November 2013 and only 1.6 points below the result at the last election.

Labor’s primary vote fell four points to a three-month low of 35 per cent.

On Last night’s 7.30 the Prime Minister finally admitted what we all knew, but no pollie would ever admit – they care about the polls.

Mr Turnbull telling Leigh Sales “It’s like one of those things that every politician says, many politicians say,”

“‘We don’t look at the opinion polls. Nobody looks at opinion polls’. Nobody looks at the polls with more attention than politicians.”

5. PM not to live in Kirribilli House.

He told 7.30 that he would use Kirribilli House for official functions only.

“Lucy and I will continue to live, that is to say sleep, in our house in Sydney which is agreeably close to our grandson,’’ he told the ABC.

“But Kirribilli House, as you know, has been used by Prime Ministers and we will obviously use that for official entertaining.

“It’s very valuable, a great location to use for charities and for opportunities to support good causes. We’ll certainly be doing that but sleeping at home.’’

When in Canberra, Mr Turnbull will stay at the official prime ministerial residence The Lodge once its refurbishment is complete – expected to be completed in December.

6. Former PM speaks about Scott Morrison.

Meanwhile the former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott has finally spoken to the media about his ousting saying that new Treasurer Scott Morrison never warned him about the impending challenge by Malcolm Turnbull.

Last week Mr Morrison told 2GB radio that he had in fact informed Mr Abbott about the impending coup.

Mr Abbott told The Daily Telegraph that this was untrue.

“Not true, not true. Scott never warned anyone,” Mr Abbott said “He certainly never warned me. I spoke to him on (the) Friday — not a hint of a warning. So I’m afraid Scott badly misled people. I was doing what I could to save the government, that’s what I was doing.”

7. Childcare worker accused of attempted raping of two-year old boy given bail.

Warning: This item contains details of the alleged rape of a child and may be distressing for some readers.

A 20-year old childcare worker who was charged with the attempted rape of a two-year-old boy at a Brisbane childcare centre has been released on bail.

Nine News reports that a family friend allegedly walked in on the 20-year-old man abusing the toddler at the centre in Brisbane’s west just after 6pm on Friday.

“Upon entering the childcare centre the child wasn’t there … she searched further an in one of the back rooms of the childcare centre she was confronted with a 20-year-old employee from the childcare centre committing a sexual assault on the two-year-old boy,” Acting Superintendent Geoff Sheldon said.

“She quickly grabbed the child and vacated, went and got the child’s mother and they came straight to the police station and made a complaint.”

The man was arrested and charged with attempted rape, enter a premises with intent to commit and deprivation of liberty, but the charges could be upgraded as a result of medical tests, police said.

After a brief appearance in court the man received bail.

He will appear again briefly on Friday.

8. Baby born in Nauru detention centre to be stateless.

A baby girl born to a Rohingya refugee at the Nauru detention centre will be stateless reports Fairfax Media.

“She is not Nauruan by birth [as she] has to have Nauruan parents,” Refugee Action Coalition spokesman Ian Rintoul said

Under the Nauru constitution those who were born in the country but “had no possibility of obtaining citizenship of any other country” were allowed to apply for Nauruan citizenship but had no guarantee.

The Rohingyan people have been rendered stateless in their homeland.

The baby girl, the first child born to a refugee at the centre, was born to a Rohingyan family who had been there for two years.

Mr Rintoul said that it was a risky precedent.

“Nauru hospital has limited staff, limited resources and no specialists. Any complication would risk the wellbeing of mother and baby.

“The fact that refugees are sent to PNG and asylum seeker mothers are sent to Australia to have their babies says that Australian authorities do not believe that Nauru is safe.”

He said the Australian government had a responsibility to bring all babies born to asylum seekers and refugee families to Australia.

“There needs to be consistent policy from the government. All mothers-to-be should be brought, with their families, to Australia to give birth, where there is proper medical facilities to ensure the health of mother and baby,” he said.

“We wish the family well, but we know the conditions on Nauru – no education and no resettlement – put a dark cloud over their future.”

9. #Piggate: Did the UK PM really put his private parts into a pig?

And you thought Tony Abbott topless dancing after he was ousted was a scandal…. well spare a thought for the political junkies in the UK who have a Prime Minister who apparently stuck his old fella in the mouth of a dead pig.

In a book, due to be published next month it is alleged that during his wild youth David Cameron “inserted a private part of his anatomy into the animal’s mouth”- and claims there are photographs to prove it.

The unauthorised biography, Call Me Dave also contains allegations Mr Cameron took drugs and was a member of the Piers Gaveston Society – an exclusive Oxford drinking club renowned for debauched parties with free sex, music, drink and drugs.

Mr Cameron has alluded to smoking marijuana when he was at university saying he had a “normal university experience”. He has also never not denied taking cocaine, although has said he has not done so since becoming an MP.

Twitter, naturally has gone Pig Crazy with #Piggate trending as the media explodes with the allegations. Interestingly the conservative BBC has decided to avoid all mention of the allegations and the only story about pigs they have about a series of miniature pigs with silly names from back in August.

10. Calls for the GCE to fund 12 years of education for girls around the world.

On Thursday Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai will be hosting a Twitter rally in support of her global petition to the Global Partnership for Education.

Her petition asks the Global Partnership for Education to fund a full 12 years of education for girls around the world – they currently only support nine-years of education.

It comes as leaders at the United Nations meet discuss a new set of global goals at a special summit convened at the UN headquarters in New York from 25 to 27 September.

The Global Campaign for Education are among 24 civil society representatives that have been selected to address the world leaders gathered for the summit.

The Malala Fund has set up the petition saying “in September, world leaders will commit to 12 years of free, safe, quality primary and secondary education for every girl and every boy in the new United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This commitment holds tremendous promise for my sisters demanding more for their lives. But a commitment only counts if a commitment is kept. The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) must lead the way in upholding this commitment, just as it has led way in supporting 9 years of education for millions of children to date.”

So far nearly 400,000 people have signed the petition.

11. Insurance company won’t pay the medical bills’ of Australian woman left in a coma after being hit by a car in Las Vegas.

21-year old Brooke Baldwin from Newport on Sydney’s Northern Beaches was hit by a car after allegedly attempted to climb over a barrier instead of using a pedestrian bridge on a busy intersection in Las Vegas.

Her father, Peter Baldwin has said that the insurance company has now said they will not cover her hospital bill as she had been drinking.

“They rang Lisa at 11.30pm at night and said ‘we’re not going to cover it because she was intoxicated.’ I asked them for it in writing and they didn’t respond,” he said.

Her father has also said that his daughter’s bag was stolen at the scene of the accident.

“When she was hit by the car, all the people were rushing over, and somebody grabbed her bag, and some scumbag wrenched it out and ran off with it. It was everything she had.”

Ms Baldwin is now breathing on her own in a hospital in the city, but has still not properly awoke from her coma.

12. We’ve been saying it wrong.

In a revelation sure to spin your world on its axis Nutella have told us that we have been pronouncing the name of the chocolate spread incorrectly our entire lives.

On their website Italian manufacturer Ferrero say the official way to say it is “new-tell-uh”.

Not actually “nuh-tell-uh” as most of us do.

On the website they write “Nutella (pronounced “new-tell-uh”) is a tasty, unique spread made from the combination of roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and a hint of cocoa. Nutella has no artificial colors or preservatives.”

Social media users have, understandable, been sent into a panic.
