Well he did secure press coverage saying things like “centre of world gravity just moved closer to Australia” and headlines such as Triumphant Rudd leaves as Obama battles on, so it’s no surprise the Prime Minister is looking like he’s just been told Christmas is coming twice this year.

Santa Claus is bringing you a diplomatic coup, Kevin

This set of photos were taken by News Ltd’s Kym Smith at the “family photo” gathering after the Pittsburgh G20 summit, which you can read more about here, here and here.

But have a look at the rest of the pics after the jump - in every one, Kevin Rudd has a grin that looks like it was painted on with a roller brush. Enter your captions and explanations in the comments.

Is it painted on? Rudd smiles while walking

Perhaps he has rubber bands in his mouth

I'll just button my jacket with an outrageous grin

We don't need to add anything apart from...typical!

Naomi's drawing shows her father watching as she is raped.

A PAEDOPHILE lives in Sydney's East Ryde*. He doesn't have a facial tic or a stutter. He doesn't look like the sex offender from central casting. And his name is not Dennis Ferguson.

He is one of tens of thousands of paedophiles, living in the suburbs, who don't walk around with big signs on their foreheads.

In about 90 per cent of child sex abuse cases, the perpetrator is a family member or friend, not some rock spider who abducts kids in the street.

"Offenders look like everybody else," Carol Ronken from Bravehearts, a support group for child sex victims, said.

"We need to be vigilant within our own four walls."

Six year old Naomi*, who drew the picture, left, is among the one-in-five Australian children who have been molested.

There's no way of sugar-coating this.

Firstly, this is not a happy story. It is quite a disturbing and sad story. I don't want to trivialise this in any way whatsoever. I feel for the child and her mother. The systems clearly fail another victim, as so often happens.

It reads true; and sadly, begins to sound a familiar story.

But frankly, and honestly, this poor child is a victim of a criminal, and, honestly...Senator Conroy...are you truly under the impression that you are going to stop this sort of thing happening in future?

Get a life and get real. System Fail! Yet again!
