Securing Sydney’s Second Airport
In a fascinating tale of twists and turn, two key decisions: in 1986 by Hawke and in 2016 by Turnbull delivered real economic reform - competitive airports in Australia’s biggest aviation market.
TURNBULL: They would have to explain that. That would be challenging. But I think the point is that it depends what the party is standing for. The reason those independents were elected, in my view, was not because they were independents, but because they were not Labor or Liberal. And particularly in most of the seats the so-called Teals occupy, they were safe Liberal seats in the cities, they were elected because the Liberal Party, particularly the case after I left, was seen to have moved too far to the right. I mean, Zali Steggall won because she was not a Labor candidate, but she also wasn’t Tony Abbott. That was a vote against the Liberal Party Member who was seen as being too right-wing. The simple point I’m making is: the very existence of the Teals should have sent a powerful message to the Liberal Party - you have to tack back to the centre.

Interview on ABC 702 with Hamish Macdonald 25/5/26
MALCOLM TURNBULL: Look, people talk to me…. Hamish, I’m too old to get into the gotcha business. I talk to everybody about politics all the time, and this issue is one of the most spoken - the demise, the shrinking demise of the Liberal Party - is one of the most talked about issues and you don’t have to be a political genius, like you and Samantha, to observe that there is a big vacuum emerging on the centre right, the ground that the Liberal Party, sometimes a bit awkwardly, but in the past, always used to occupy.
MALCOLM TURNBULL: I think there is a vacuum in Australian politics at the moment, because the Liberal Party has moved so far to the right, and in doing so is diminishing and it’s done itself enormous damage. So at the moment, there’s only one major party that you could describe as a centre party, which is the Labor Party. And I think there is a vacuum for an alternative centre party. Now, the Teals would be obvious people to be part of that, or to do that, and I’ve talked to them about that publicly I mean, going back some years. But whether they actually decide to do so is up to them. So I’m not involved with any plans to set something up.

Malcolm Turnbull at Chatham House, London
The Australian model: Navigating the US–China divide with Malcolm Turnbull: As US–China rivalry reshapes the international order, few countries have had to navigate its pressures more acutely than Australia – economically connected to China, strategically anchored to the United States, and geographically planted in the Indo-Pacific at the centre of the contest. From the US alliance to trade tensions with Beijing, Malcolm Turnbull reflects on the choices, costs, and limits of strategic hedging for middle powers. What does Australia’s model offer allies seeking to preserve strategic autonomy without sacrificing economic interests? And what does it mean to be a US ally when the terms of that alliance are no longer fixed?
The Energy Institute (EI) has announced the award of an Honorary Fellowship to the Hon Malcolm Turnbull AC, 29th Prime Minister of Australia and President of the International Hydropower Association, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to leadership and advocacy in the global energy transition.

Interview BBC London
Interview BBC London 11/5/26
The problem that Mr. Trump has is that the only way he will be seen to have had a victory is if there is a change of regime to one that is supportive of the United States. On the other hand, the Iranians will have won if they don’t lose. That is really the nature of an asymmetric conflict like that..
what this crisis has done is remind people of the fragility and vulnerability of fossil fuel supply chains, and underpinned the importance of energy security…
Now interestingly, in this new world with Trump, and this is where in a sense, it’s a world upside down, you have the United States, which created the post war international rules based order, now saying it’s rubbish.

Interview with BBC Today programme London
Malcolm Turnbull interview with BBC Today programme 11/5/2026
Well, it’s a balance.
We have our great ally, a strategic partner in Washington, but our principal trading partner in Beijing. ..so it’s really important for us to maintain a strong, friendly, respectful relationship with China, and occasionally that has meant that we’ve had to push back.
So we seek as Prime Minister Albanese says, we seek to agree where we can, but disagree where we must…
...in the American’s case now say the international rules-based order is irrelevant or a cloud castle abstraction, as they say in the National Defense Strategy, if you’re dealing with that, the only way to do that is with, obviously, respectfully and politely, but stand your ground. Do not take a backward step…
I think Mark Carney is probably the best example of that…Carney is a strong figure, man of great integrity, he stood his ground, and that was the right thing to do, both politically for him within Canada, but also ultimately in dealing with the American President. Mind you, Canada is very, very vulnerable. Carney has famously talked about middle powers and so forth, let’s say Australia, UK, Canada as the three middle powers…
Instead of competing with One Nation, the Liberal party under Angus Taylor is echoing One Nation’s divisive, hateful position on immigration and in Farrer is preferencing One Nation – a move that could put a One Nation MP in the House of Representatives for the first time.

“It’s a really important message.

And that is that middle powers, like Australia and Canada and the Europeans and Japan have got to work together. And those of us who still believe in international law and free trade, have got to work together and practice it”.

Interview with Vassy Kapelos: Carney’s speech ‘the most important’ since Trump’s return: former Australian PM | Power & Politics
I think Mark Carney is right… “nostalgia is not a strategy”. And he says we are living in a mighty is right world. I have been saying this for several years now about Trump. He does not share the values of any of his modern predecessors in the presidency. He views the world highly transactionally. And if you are integrated with the United States economically or you are dependent on the United States, Trump will use that as a vulnerability and exploit it….we’re dealing with a very different America and I think a lot of people in government, perhaps all of us, have sort of a cognitive dissonance problem here on the one 1/2 of our brain is recognizing the reality. The other half is saying no, no, things are going to go back to normal, everything’s OK, it’s still the old, good old USA. Well, I’m afraid it isn’t. And even if it does go back, hopefully it does, but we cannot rely on that. And again, quoting Carney, nostalgia is not a strategy. Hope is not a strategy. We’ve got to deal with the world as it is.

..what we have to do is respond with love, and with strength and with solidarity. We put our arms around the Jewish community. We have to show them that we love them, and that we will support them and we will stand by them no matter what happens. And this is literally the worst that you could imagine…. This is an act of terrorism. Terrorism is a political act. It is an act of violence, and it’s designed to divide us, to shake our will, to frighten us, to intimidate us. These two terrorists, they do not represent Australia. ... We really are an extraordinary society and those small number of people who are trying to divide us with violent acts of terrorism like this, you must not let them win. So don’t let our resolve be shaken.

Malcolm Turnbull interview with Patricia Karvelas
“Now, back 20 years ago, renewables were more expensive than burning coal, but we argued that we should pay the price to cut our emissions to save the planet. Now we’re in the happy circumstance where the cheapest forms of new generation are renewables, above all solar, and the millions and millions of Australians that have solar panels and their roofs understand that. So what you’ve got is a fact-free, reality-free culture war going on, and it is designed to gratify the right wing sort of media ecosystem…We’ve got old coal fired power stations that are getting to the end of their life, some of them are really ancient, and maybe you can squeeze a couple of more years out of a few of them, but it’s very hard and becomes increasingly expensive, and they become increasingly unreliable. And again, this is a point that the energy sector understands because as they become more unreliable, that again means you need to rely on gas more and that is more expensive”.

Incoming Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Daryl L Caudle, testimony on delivery pace of Virginia submarines
In Washington Thursday 24 July before the Senate Armed Services Committee the incoming Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Daryl L Caudle, made it clear that the delivery pace of Virginia submarines by US industry would not allow the transfer of any to Australia under AUKUS Pillar One and that in order to do so the US shipbuilding industry would need, not just improvements in efficiency, but a “transformational improvement” to more than double current production rates.
SEN KAINE: I am a big supporter of AUKUS. What’s your assessment of AUKUS‘s progress and what can Congress do to help keep it on track.
ADM CAUDLE: Senator there is no question Australia fields incredible submariners. They have served on submarines with me personally for decades. I am personal friends with the chief of staff the Navy there, Mark Hammond, and he and I are good friends for a long time so the question of Australia’s ability to conduct undersea warfare is not in question by me or anyone, but as you know the delivery pace is not what it needs to be to make good on the Pillar One of the AUKUS agreement which is currently under review by our defence department. So I think rightly so, we have to understand whether or not the industrial base can produce the submarines required so that we can make good on the actual pact that we made with the UK and Australia which is as you know around 2.2 to 2.3 Virginia class submarines per year. That is going to require a transformational improvement; not a 10% improvement, not a 20% improvement but a 100% improvement.
Malcolm Turnbull on How Not to Lose Respect in Washington. The former Prime Minister says more world leaders should be putting their countries’ interests first, and standing up to the US President.
Malcolm Turnbull joins Patricia Karvelas on Afternoon Briefing on Monday 21st July 2025
MALCOLM TURNBULL: Elbridge Colby is one of the smartest, most clear-eyed thinkers on defence matters in Washington… I haven’t spoken to Bridge since he became Undersecretary, but I was delighted that he did become Undersecretary. He has expressed two concerns about AUKUS Pillar 1, and he’s done so publicly. And the fact that these have been ignored and you’ve got people in Canberra pretending that these issues don’t exist is a scandal, is an absolute scandal, Michelle…The first is that in terms of the provision of Virginia class submarines to the United States, these submarines are the most survivable and valuable strategic assets of the US. Navy. The US. Navy believes they have about 20 fewer than what they think they need. They’ve got a goal of getting up to 66, and they’re about 20 short of that…. Now, given that they’re short of these boats now, given that they’re producing about half as many as they need for their own needs, clearly, a President could not certify in that manner today. That’s obvious….the point that Bridge has made is, and he made it in his confirmation hearings, that while he had nothing but affection for Australia, and wished them well with the AUKUS project, if the United States is short of these submarines, then how can they be transferred to Australia?...The second thing that Colby has said publicly in different places is that Australia’s decision to go with naval nuclear propulsion is obviously hugely expensive. And for it to be able to afford to spend the amount of money it needs for the rest of its defence capabilities, for the Air Force, for the Army, for the rest of the Navy, then it is going to have to increase its defence expenditure and markedly.

Jeff Bleich Centre Distinguished Lecture 2025: ‘Surviving the new world disorder’ by Malcolm Turnbull
Jeff Bleich Centre Distinguished Lecture 2025 by Malcolm Turnbull, 29th Prime Minister of Australia. The Jeff Bleich Centre for Democracy and Disruptive Technologies (JBC) is a research centre in the College of Business, Government and Law, Flinders University.
I’m simply making the point that we have a submarine deal which is very likely to end up with us having no submarines and that we’ve got to start acknowledging that risk. It is a real recognised risk in the deal and plan for an alternative. That may be getting submarines from somewhere else, it may be buying long range strike capabilities, long range bombers and so forth. All of this is being canvassed in America and in the American Congress, but we’re not allowed to talk about it here otherwise you get accused of wanting to abandon the American alliance. It’s not Australia that’s walking away from the United States. The United States is pulling away from its allies. But we have to live in the real world. The people that are deluded are the ones that are ignoring the real risks in this deal, and the fact that we should have responsibly a plan B.

America’s Allies Must Save Themselves: How to Pick Up the Pieces of the World Order Trump Is Breaking
Trump is the new normal in Washington. This does not mean that U.S. allies should surrender to Trump’s intimidation. Together, they can exert considerable influence and contend with the havoc unleashed by Washington. Those countries that share the values for which the United States once stood, but currently does not, should band together to preserve what worked best in the order Trump is intent on burying.

Links to AUKUS research by the Congressional Research Service and the Congressional Budget Office
Australian sovereignty, sovereign autonomy, has never been so important. And yet in recent years it has never been so diminished.
This does not mean that we will not have shared interests with the United States. A key one will be to encourage the US to remain engaged in our region - not as the dominant hegemon as it was thirty years ago, those days are passed, quite a while ago - but as a balancing force to China.
And that is why these dramatic changes in the United States, many of which have been evident in less stark form for years, should not lead us to abandon the ANZUS alliance. We have so much in common, so many interests in common with the United States, even if we don’t have as many values as we used to.
SOVEREIGNTY AND SECURITY FORUM
31 MARCH 2025
A conversation about Australia’s Strategic present and future
The breakneck speed at which the second Trump administration is challenging and overturning assumptions about the international order compels close allies to re-examine the fundamentals of their foreign and defence policies. This is happening in the capitals of Europe, in Ottawa and elsewhere, but not in Canberra. Australians can appreciate the long and mutual benefits of the ANZUS alliance but still subject it to serious scrutiny. Trump’s “might is right” approach necessitates a fundamental rethink across a broad range of policies including the AUKUS submarine project, trade, defence and regional diplomacy.
“I think we’re not going to change Trump, but what does this mean? It means we have to look at all of our defence and security relationships with a fresh eye. We have to be more self-reliant. We have to assess how we can defend ourselves. We cannot count on the Americans supporting us in the way we have before. It would be naive to do that”...

Interview with Sarah Ferguson on 730
This is the new world: the new world of disorder. AUKUS sacrificed Australian sovereignty, made us more reliant on the United States than ever before, and the timing was exquisitely bad because we are now more reliant on America than ever at a time when America is less reliable than ever.
And that’s not just a bug, that’s a feature.
Trump is saying to allies: ‘you can’t rely on us. You’ve got to do more for yourselves. You’ve got to stand up for yourself’.
So we’ve got to ask ourselves: are our current arrangements working? And I would say they are not fit for purpose any longer, and we have to spend more money on our own defence, but on capabilities and systems that we control.

Malcolm Turnbull on 730 discussing how to negotiate with Donald Trump
Malcolm Turnbull speaks with Sarah Ferguson on how to negotiate with Donald Trump:
“It may be that this Trump is determined to impose this tariff on every country, no matter what, and you know, and in which case, it won’t be possible to secure an exemption. All the Australian Prime Minister can do is use all of his advocacy skills and play a straight bat and defend the Australian national interest. But do not be misled by the idea that there’s any altruism in Washington towards Australia. The United States Government, especially with Donald Trump, acts in the national interest of the United States. What is his slogan, ‘America First’. So, we’ve got to be able to make the case that it’s against their interest to impose tariffs on us”.

How Will the World Navigate Trump’s Return? Listen now to Malcolm Turnbull and Bilahari Kausikan January 16, 2025
With Donald Trump about to return to the White House, leaders around the world are bracing for what could be a significant realignment in U.S. foreign policy—and trying to prepare their own country’s response. Listen now….
Malcolm Turnbull: “I’m not quite sure why people regard Abe’s relationship as being [effective]. It depends what you’re trying to achieve. If your political objective as a foreign leader is to have an affable, backslapping, mutually complementary sort of relationship, well I guess flattery and golf and all that stuff helps. But if you actually want to get things done, and if you want to protect your interests, then you’ve got to basically win his respect and you’ve got to be able to stand your ground. I mean Japan was hit with those steel tariffs, and they export a lot more steel than we do, so with great respect I don’t think there’s any evidence that that flattery approach [works]. I mean, there’s obviously a degree of flattery. Every diplomatic relationship involves some courtesies, but if you’re only objective is to not upset Donald Trump then that means he will do what he wants and get what he wants rather than what you want”.

ABC Radio National interview on the election of Donald Trump
Malcolm Turnbull gives insight on dealing with Donald Trump:
You can be thoroughly courteous and polite and convivial and generous, but you have to be prepared to advance your own interests as an Australian Prime Minister….
Trump is not committed to democracy or the rule of law in the way previous presidents have been, or in the way perhaps most people are. But the American people understand that, they recognise that, they have elected Trump. They have as the New York Times said very pithily in a headline: ‘America has chosen a strong man’. And so Trump as the strong bully, that’s what people have hired. So this is not a fluke or a case of electing somebody who turns out to be different to what you know. This is a guy who says the quiet bits out loud.

How the World Can Deal With Trump: Advice for Leaders Facing the Potential Return of “America First”
In this year of major elections around the world, none is more consequential than that in the United States on the first Tuesday in November. Polling suggests Donald Trump will enter the White House again in January 2025. If he does, he will return to office perhaps no wiser but certainly more experienced and more convinced than ever of his own exceptional genius. More ominously, he will be determined to rectify in his second term what he insists was the major failing of his first: that both his own advisers and Washington officialdom got in his way.
The leaders of the countries that are the United States’ friends and allies will be among the very few who can speak truthfully to Trump. He can shout at them, embarrass them, even threaten them. But he cannot fire them. Their character, courage, and candor may be the most important aid they can render to the United States in a second age of Trump.

Hardly anyone had focused on the proposal in any detail. Debate had not been joined, there was a warm, fuzzy yes case, more of a vibe than an argument, and no organised no case at all.

FAQ: Action on Drought Relief for Australian Farmers
Australia is experiencing one of the worst droughts on record.
Australian farmers are incredibly resilient, but many farming families and communities are doing it tough.

Address to Federal Liberal Council, Sydney, June 2018
Our values are timeless because they are based on freedom. They are values which say that government’s job is to enable you to do your best. To realise your dreams, to get your business going, to get your career going, to see your kids getting ahead and getting a great education, to ensure that you get the best health care and the latest drugs - life-saving drugs - listed on the PBS. That’s what we want every Australian to do. Those are our values!
You know, those values are timeless and they are more timely now than ever because they are under challenge from Labor now, more than they have been in generations.

Curbing bracket creep puts money in pockets
This week we have delivered tax relief for all Australian workers. We are making taxes lower, simpler and fairer as part of our plan for a stronger economy.
The significance of this once-in-a-generation tax reform cannot be overstated. From next year, Australian workers will get a tax refund of up to $530. And then in the years ahead, this relief will increase so that Australians get to keep more of their own money. They will not be punished with higher tax rates when they get a new job, a promotion or a pay rise.
