A Bigger Picture

- Blurb -

Malcolm Turnbull, Australia' s 29th Prime Minister, tells the remarkable story of his life in this lively political page-turner. When Malcolm Turnbull took over the nation' s top job there was a sense of excitement in Australia. Sky-high opinion polls followed as the political outsider with a successful business, legal and media career took charge. The infighting that dogged politics for the best part of a decade looked to be over. But a right-wing insurgency brutally cut down Turnbull' s time in office after three years, leaving many Australians asking, ' Why? ' Exceptionally candid and compelling, A Bigger Picture is the definitive narrative of Malcolm Turnbull' s prime ministership. He describes how he legalised same-sex marriage, established Snowy Hydro 2. 0, stood up to Donald Trump, rebooted Australia' s defence industry and many more achievements - remarkable in their pace, significance and that they were delivered in the teeth of so much opposition. But it' s far more than just politics. Turnbull' s life has been filled with colourful characters and controversies, success and failure. From his early years in Sydney, growing up with a single father, to defending ' Spycatcher' Peter Wright against the UK Government; the years representing Kerry Packer, leading the Republican Movement and making millions in business; and finally toppling Tony Abbott to become Prime Minister of Australia. For the first time he tells it all - in his own words. With revelatory insights on the workings of Canberra and the contentious events of Turnbull' s life, A Bigger Picture explores the strengths and vulnerabilities of one of Australia' s best-known and dynamic business and political leaders. Lyrically written in highly readable and entertaining prose, this is a genuine page-turner that' s not just for political junkies.
