Episode 10: Malcolm Turnbull


Listen Later

For our 10th episode, Oliver and Charlie interview Malcolm Turnbull, the 29th Prime Minister of Australia.
Malcolm was the MP for Wentworth in the House of Representatives from 2004 until his retirement from politics in 2018.
A long time advocate of an Australian republic, serving as Chair of the Australian Republican Movement from 1993 to 2000, and one of the leaders of the "Yes" campaign in the 1999 republic referendum.
Malcolm tried on numerous occasions to drag the Liberal party into the future with a carbon price and the proposed the National Energy Guarantee. Both attempts resulted in a leadership spill that was so closely lost - leaving many Liberal members dismayed.
Very few individuals have as much knowledge of the system that controls our country, and so little to lose by exposing its significant failings. He has always tried to act by putting the interest of Australia first. For greater insight into the former Prime Minister's story his book is available in the link below
