- In a tumultuous week of politics and international relations, Malcolm Turnbull, former Prime Minister of Australia, addresses the National Press Club in a virtual, Covid-safe event.
This address was originally broadcast on ABC TV on September 29th, 2021.
------
Australia’s 29th Prime Minister (2015-2018) had international careers in law, business and the media before entering politics at the age of 50.
As Prime Minister, he reformed Australia’s personal income tax, education and childcare systems, oversaw the legalisation of same sex marriage and announced the construction of Snowy Hydro 2.0 the biggest pumped hydro scheme in the southern hemisphere. Mr Turnbull embarked on the largest peacetime investment in Australian defence capabilities and set out Australia’s first national cybersecurity strategy.
Globally, Mr Turnbull played a leading role in reviving the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP-11 or CPTPP) after the United States withdrew. He also struck deals with US Presidents Obama and Trump to accept refugees who tried to arrive in Australia illegally by boat.
As a young lawyer, Mr Turnbull successfully defended former MI5 agent Peter Wright against the British Government in the 1986 “Spycatcher” trial before entering business where he ran his own investment banking firm for a decade before joining Goldman Sachs as a partner in 1997. Both before and after his political career, Mr Turnbull has been a successful venture capitalist. He co founded OzEmail Limited, the first Australian tech company to be listed on the NASDAQ.
Since leaving politics, Mr Turnbull has resumed his business career. He is a senior adviser to KKR and an investor in, and adviser to, many Australian technology businesses. He is a director of the International Hydropower Association and Chairman of Australian Fortescue Future Industries. Mr Turnbull speaks and writes on a range of issues including cyber security, geopolitics and renewable energy.
Kevin Rudd, Tony Abbot, and Malcolm Turnbull lost their jobs with less bull....how can Scomo still have his job?
Oh I don’t know. Tony abbot was really disliked and did really dum stuff. But yeah Tony Abbot didn’t sign anything as dumb as this, while also pissing off an important ally at the same time.
@@toddfrombethesda6963 'Toni Abit sed dum dum stuf that make abit bad'. Get a better argument.
Cannot imagine Payne or Morrison explaining this clearly as Turnbull. And I am not a supporter to Turnbull.
You can’t imagine it because they simply don’t have the ability too. And apparently many Australians are happy having an inarticulate PM who double deals and gets a seemingly good deal.
Turnbull was a brilliant guy and had the potential to be a great PM but he was torn down by the crazies, and they finally have paid the price. Have fun with Dutton.
Now we know why Turnbull had to be removed. He’s too logical and actually takes his job seriously. The MIC’s overrun the Liberal party now. Albanese better watch his back. They might send the next Julia Gillard after him if he doesn’t handle this properly
PM Turnbull is spot on nuclear subs
As in spot the Dog? Some form of mascot?
What’s he spot on about? The fact that he wants inferior technology because an irrational fear of nuclear power
Turnbull is not spot on, on anything, that's the main reason he was dumped from the PM position...It was Turnbull idea when he was the communication minister in the Abbott government to instal a 3rd-grade broadband system, and it was prime minister Turnbull that signed the $90 b contract for a fleet of out-of-date submarines.
I don't think that morrison can tell the truth
Intelligent. Insigbtful. Believable.
Can we PLEASE have him back as PM.
No. Sorry but there it is. Now would you like an ice cream instead?
This guy’s gonna make a great leader one day.
Wait…
🤣
Hopefully in somewhere like Fiji or Pitcairn.
Thanks for Turnbull we get a clear picture....maturity in politics..
Turnbull is unhinged... Thank God that Turnbull was ousted from the top Job...Scott Morrison showed great courage and dignity on the world stage which made Australia proud...Turnbull needs help!
Really helpful speech, to help me understand the issues around this. Amazing that a former liberal PM (Turnbull) and a former labour PM (Keating) agree on this same issue just shows how outrageous the Morrison government decision was.
So true....especially on TRUST. You are a wise man Sir....
Yes, the once Communications Minister who royally buggered up the biggest telecommunications
infrastructure project in this country's history and left us with the problems that'll plague it for many,
many years is indeed a 'wise man'. In saying that, I admit, I agree with him on this for the most part.
@@andrewosier614 I’m not familiar with the telecoms project- why will it be so bad for Australia? And why is that relevant in the discussion on the submarine issue? If what Malcolm is saying is true, Australia’s reputation on the world stage will be diminished. Australia is a minnow on the world stage: it needs leaders with cultural nuance and skill to earn trust. Those alliances formed from trust are just as important to security as military assets.
He reads too much news from Murdoch’s media
This is hilarious! Nearly all comments speak of their dislike of the man rather than the content of his message.
The Honorable Member for the Upper East Side should return to his seat.
Turnbull is a legend
What Turnbull has said in this address should have needed to have been said at all. It is this which illustrates the desperate state this government has placed us in.
Turnbull 2.0 is a new man. Make this broke out PM!
Who knows what the world will be like in 2040?
Very good talk. Realistic and to the point advice. Australia needs someone with his experience to lead the nation.
Having voted for Turnbull's government or not, he is a man to be respected. Under Morrison that has all gone. Abbot was gaffe prone and had a trust deficit after his election night promises in 2013. "Turnbull" of the Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison years stands out as being at least a person of the national interest, happy to explain matters to the people, not mere game playing.
Wisdom comes with age. Scott Morrison hasn’t gotten off the starting line.
Why our nonsense politicians all became wise men after leaving office? Interesting... And fishy...
I agree with him on the submarine issue, but as Prime Minister he made our national broadband network inferior and flawed compared to what it was going to be.
No, the NBN was hobbled when he was minister for communications under Abbott.
@@space.youtube yes, you're right...it was his portfolio as Communications Minister... He approved of and promoted the inferior NBN, that's what I remember. He should have done better.
@@catha.j.stuart2200 Have you considered the possibility that the hybrid network was the result of vested interests influence? I mean there's a pretty obvious coaxial cable network whose owner would want to protect from premature obsolescence, isn't there?
Fibre to the premises was axed bcs of Murdoch's influence. Turnbull went along to get along, fibre to the node and the hybrid network resulted from LNP compromise/pandering to Murdoch media interests. I wouldn't hang the NBN debacle around his neck alone. There's plenty of blame (and necks) to go around.
@@space.youtube yes, Murdoch has fought improvements to internet access for a long time. Among all the LNP, I expected better from Turnbull.
Thanks 😊 🫂 🙏 😊 🫂 🙏 😊 manaster
Please examine carefully the hidden reason if known, the real cause of the recent incident of the Virginia class nuclear submarine happened in in the SouthChina Sea.
The way the dollar is deprecating it will cost over a trillion. Republic of Australia and bring back Assange, kick out Scott.😢. We are Australian citizens. Not UK or Americans. We don't throw our friends under the bus. Bring out electric cars and work on hydrogen fuel. Easy. What is the problem?
Turnbull sounds like an ALP opposition leader....
Turnbull......Diesel subs and antiquated NBN.....now lecturing Scomo.....an old ghost should hide in the closet
Nuclear submarines will not help Australia's security for it is just an extension of US hegemony.
Sack that Penny Wong and tell Albanese if he does not repent, sack him too.
I think Australians should listen to Paul Keating and Malcolm Turnbull about which submarines Australia should buy.
Another question: Why can't Australia make their own submarines?
玩潜艇的风险和其他军事风险不同，查查潜艇事故。
Risks involved in submarines are different from risks involved in other parts of military
Trust and integrity are healthy attributes for all sustained long term relations. Australian politics is these days largely devoid of these attributes as very well illustrated by Malcolm Turnbull's description of Scott Morrison's deception towards France. For the sake of meaningful values for Australian youth to emulate, together with its status internationally, there is a very strong need for restoration of good, sound values within Australia and its politicians. Malcolm Turnbull could provide that figurehead example if he chose to re-enter politics. To sort out the problems that Australian deception has created since he was deceitfully undermined by the very same deceiver that undermined the French. The AUKUS agreement is a total sell out of Australia to the Americans. Undermining the self determination of Australian defence. The French have offered new terms toward a revised submarine deal for Australia and to date received no reply. Mr Turnbull therefore has an opportunity to change this sellout of Australia to the USA and restore some genuine Australian character in the eyes of the world. Providing a solid example of good, solid values to Australian youth in the process.
What Morrison did is he put blind trust on the US and the UK to build him nuclear powered submarines. I don’t think that he thought this through with proper decision making process
Well Australia has ten years to get its scientists up to par on nucleur knowledge, easily long enough for thousands looking for a new career.
....and then another decade to build a current gen reactor, then another decade before it becomes carbon neutral. lol
Nuclear is already obsolete. The future is decentralised, localised renewable energy coupled with storage AND reduced consumption.
Merely swapping out our fossil fuel generated energy while maintaining current consumption is not a solution, it's rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
The problem demands answers you aren't asking yet, but you will soon enough.
@@space.youtube Australian brings in nucleur experts to build the reactor while simultaneously training the Australian scientists. Build and running in 10 yrs.
@@maxstrength2963 so only 20 year before it actually becomes carbon neutral lol
Keep polishing that turd my friend.
Lol do want a MClaren with the latest technologies or a Corvette with WWII technologies? It’s the only question all else is political games & ideology
That’s a bit naive. You need to consider your word and promises you make. Good luck doing business if you cannot be trusted.
Heated
What a wasted space this guy is !
Dimwitt is the name. turnbullshit
A not unexpected opinion from MT, (the best PM labor ever had). But the key issue is not addressed. Why doesn't Australia have a nuclear industry? If we did we could have taken the French nuclear subs and been able to service them and nobody would have been put out, (except the Chinese of course who are put out by most things). That's why MT made the decisions he did because he had to keep the hysterical left environmental groups happy and deny Australia a modern nuclear industry which would have satisfied our power needs with clean electricity and the technical ability to service our defense needs. That's why you had to go MT because back bone was needed to stand up to these leftist troglodytes who wish us in the 19th century.
Think you need to see the broader picture though- Australia is the 13th biggest country by nominal GDP- with countries like Brazil, Japan, Germany, Canada, Italy ahead of us (and Indonesia not far behind). Should they also have a nuclear industry? What would that sort of nuclear proliferation mean for the world? Australia has a very small population, and an even smaller mass of technical talent compared to countries with larger populations. It's not so easy to just switch on a button and bingo, you have a nuclear industry. There are a lot of strategic and cultural factors to consider.
@@MrDokuritsu Yes I agree there are a lot of strategic factors to consider. It will take a long time, granted. We cannot rely on the "unreliables" to power our economy. That is why it is imperative that we start the nuclear journey asap. The use of the term "nuclear proliferation" makes it very clear which side of politics you are coming from.
@@Denito451 I'm not into identity politics, I focus on the content of what people say. The only thing that is 'very clear' is your assumptions.
@@MrDokuritsu A very vague response, what did he say that you agree with?
@@Denito451 its not vague if you understood it ;). If anything your response is off point- the topic is nuclear armed submarines, not a nuclear powered energy state (which, btw I'm not totally against). Australia would rely very much on the technology (and experience) of other countries to develop it. Besides- your response in no way answered my specific question on potentially setting a precedent for presently nuclear free states. You made it political which says a lot about you.
What a disappointment to Australian politics this Malcolm turned out to be. no backbone, no NBN to speak of, and no legacy. just a waste of upper class space.
Outrage; yeh right. Mal thanks for you views make, we'll get back to you sometime. Perhaps you and you lady should stick with lining your pocket with tons of cash. Oh and "countries don't have friends they have interests". That is why leaders who don't like or trust each other can make common cause.
Our secretary of defend announced that if the us at war with China over Taiwan Australia has a share. What a forceful announcement. I want to ask the war with China by the US a SURE win? If yes all the Australians should applaud and enforce him. Because he dares challenge the second super power and win. Otherwise please shut up!
Turncoat....never liked him
MT, possibly Australia's worst ever PM.
Are you serious - Scotty from marketing wins that one hands down!
@@janwallace2046 Are you kidding? Scotty was the mastermind behind Operations Sovereign Borders which basically saved Australia from invasion. He is a legend.
@@bpw8139 what are you talking about?
Howard, Abbott, Morrison are all much much worse
A profligate war criminal, two knuckle dragging religious zealots, all of which have turned a cosmopolitan, forward thinking liberal nation into a frightened, superstitious, conspiracy theory embracing backwater vassal of the United States. Turnbull was a fizza but he wasn't in same league as these vandals.
@@bpw8139 thanks Pauline Hanson
