Turnbull’s life has been filled with colourful characters and controversies, success and failure. He describes how he legalised same-sex marriage, established Snowy Hydro 2.0, stood up to Donald Trump and many achievements – remarkable in their pace and significance, and that they were delivered in the teeth of so much opposition.īut it’s far more than just politics. Candid and compelling, A Bigger Picture is the definitive narrative of Malcolm Turnbull’s prime ministership.
