Description
In the bestselling memoir A Bigger Picture, Malcolm Turnbull, Australia's 29th prime minister, tells the remarkable story of his life. This new edition features a new foreword that sheds light on the huge political and cultural changes happening today.
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, stood up to Donald Trump, rebooted Australia's defence industry and many more achievements. 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, 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 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.
