Australia’s 29th Prime Minister meets the bestselling author of The Silk Roads to explore his extraordinary life in politics and beyond – from toppling Tony Abbott to standing up to Trump.
Malcolm Turnbull became Australia’s PM as a political outsider, riding a wave of excitement both at home and abroad. The three years that followed saw triumphs delivered in the face of intense opposition – from the legalisation of gay marriage to establishing the clean energy initiative, Snowy Hydro 2.0. But the dogged infighting that plagued Australian politics for a decade did not end when Turnbull became Prime Minister – and his time in office was cut short by a right-wing insurgency.
In this conversation with Oxford historian and bestselling author of The Silk Roads, Peter Frankopan, Malcolm will explore his successes and failures, giving candid insights into the colourful characters and controversies of top-tier politics and the contentious events of his life.
Don’t miss this chance to hear his reflections on a remarkable life and career – and his thoughts on our global future.
This event takes place at 9:00am BST.
