Malcolm Turnbull, the 29th Prime Minister of Australia from 2015 to 2018, brings unparalleled insight into today’s global geopolitical challenges. During his tenure, he forged relationships with world leaders and advanced key policies with lasting national and international impact. His government delivered record jobs growth, reduced income and corporate taxes, legalized same-sex marriage, and reformed school funding to ensure fairness across sectors. On the world stage, Turnbull upheld Australia’s refugee resettlement deal with the United States, preserved steel and aluminum trade access, and revived the Trans-Pacific Partnership after U.S. withdrawal by rallying 11 nations to commit to TPP-11. He also secured free trade agreements with Indonesia, Peru, and Singapore.
Born in Sydney in 1954, Turnbull studied law at Sydney University and attended Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Early in his career, he worked as a journalist, including for the Sunday Times under Harold Evans. As a lawyer, he gained prominence by defending former MI5 agent Peter Wright in the “Spycatcher” trial. He went on to establish an investment banking firm in 1987, co-founded Australia’s first major internet company OzEmail, and later became a partner at Goldman Sachs, heading its Australian business before entering politics in 2004.
As Minister for the Environment, he delivered the landmark National Plan for Water Security. As Prime Minister, he launched the Snowy Hydro 2.0 pumped storage project, supported renewable energy adoption, and pioneered “City Deals” aligning federal, state, and local governments on infrastructure, including Sydney’s second airport.
Turnbull modernized Australia’s defense with the largest peacetime re-equipment program, resisted nationalism, and reaffirmed Australia’s multicultural identity. Intelligent, candid, and charismatic, he draws on a career spanning journalism, law, business, and politics to provide incisive analysis of economics, trade, technology, security, and climate at a time of global transformation.
