Australia - Liberal Leader, Malcolm Turnbull

ꕤ Article SOURCE #1 http://stopturnbull.com/ #2 http://www.smh.com.au/good-weekend/gw-classics/raging-turnbull-20140904-10c7ye.html #1 Why Turnbull is a Labor Stooge The Liberal Party is supposed to be the custodian of Classical Liberalism and Conservatism. Malcolm Turnbull is neither. He is a leftist-progressive and secular humanist, who wants to take Australia in the same general philosophical direction as the Labor Party and the Greens. [ ... ] UPDATE #2 [19th Sep]: The ABC appears to have deliberately taken down some pages I have linked to on their website as references, in some futile attempt to stifle me. I have therefore replaced some of these links with the Google cache versions. I will try to find any others.  [ ... ] 13th April, 1991 – In a Good Weekend magazine feature article, Turnbull’s acquaintances are quoted calling him “a prick”, “a turd”, “offensively smug”, “easy to loathe”, “cynical”, “overbearing”, “chilling”, “unnecessarily aggressive”, “vicious”, “nasty”, “savaging”, “abrasive”, “breathtakingly arrogant”, “a good exploiter of publicity”, someone who “will do anything to get what he wants”, and someone who would “devour anyone for breakfast”. The article notes Turnbull’s hypocrisy in proclaiming to support free speech, but silencing his critics with fear via threats of litigation. Indeed the Good Weekend journalist writes that, during an interview, Turnbull threatened to take out an injunction to prevent his story seeing the light of day, and gave a mini-lecture on the Defamation Act. This sort of hypocrisy squares perfectly with Turnbull’s contemporary lip service in support of free speech, whilst strongly supporting draconian restrictions on free speech under the Racial Discrimination Act. [ ... ] It is also revealed that Turnbull nicknames himself “Satan” and there are accounts of Turnbull verbally abusing journalists and trying to get them sacked for supporting an opposing point-of-view to his own. source http://stopturnbull.com/ ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- #2 Raging Turnbull September 16, 2014  -  originally published on April 13, 1991 John Lyons In his dual careers as lawyer and merchant banker, Malcolm Turnbull has earned a reputation that inspires a mix of awe, fear and, among some, downright loathing.
