Should I discuss a short lived job that I am leaving at interview?

I just moved to Australia and started a new job in my field about 2 weeks ago. I realised very quickly that the job is not what I'm looking for and the company is very mis-managed, staff tell me that they are all very unhappy (and have even advised me that they are all applying for other jobs).. and it's overall not an ideal environment to start out in here. I have applied for another job in a company that I have heard very good reports on and really hope to get an interview. I'm really worried though because I'm not sure if I should mention my current job. I don't want to look like a liar if they ever found out somehow, but also do not want to look flakey and think that it might damage me in interview if I bring it up. ..not sure if they will ask me if I am currently working. I'm looking for something long term and as there aren't a ton of employers who sound as good as this one I don't want to take any chances of messing up the interview. I am passionate about the work that I do and have good references from all of my past employers. I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks so much!
 
if its only been 2 weeks dont mention it just leave it out chances are they wont find out. if they do say it was just a temp job for you needed to work. i am sure they wont find out but a 2 week job doesn't look good.


good luck with everything.
