Summary

Malcolm Turnbull

wealth from:  stake in local ISP OzEmail / sold
  • lawyer
  • investment banker
  • co-chairman of Goldman Sach’s Australian unit from 1997-2001
Matt Taibbi on Goldman Sachs:
"world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid"  ...

"relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money" ...

... financial crisis ... "a Who's Who of Goldman Sachs graduates"
HIH
"Australia’s then-second largest insurance company, HIH"
"HIH took over FAI for $300 million, but its assets were “grossly misstated” 
"HIH would become the largest corporate collapse in the country’s history, with liquidators estimating losses of up to $5.3 billion.”

"Turnbull, in his capacity at Goldman Sachs, was the “primary adviser to FAI”, whose chief executive was Rodney Adler."

"Turnbull was accused of concealing from the FAI board that he was working with Adler to take the company private. Adler was later jailed, but the Royal Commission cleared Turnbull and Goldman Sachs of any wrongdoing."

Wentworth Electorate
eastern suburb - Sydney

Of 10 richest suburbs in Sydney
=  5 postcodes were in Wentworth

Of 10 most expensive suburbs in Australia
=  5 are in Wentworth

Turnbull resides
= “vast waterfront estate” in Point Piper, similar to a nearby mansion which sold for $52 million

Turnbull
= only politician to make the BRW Rich 200 in 2010, with personal wealth of $186 million

{  next wealthiest at the time was Kevin Rudd and his wife Therese Rein, at $56 million }

Wentworth
= safe Liberal seat
= reason: voters in Wentworth vote in support of their own financial interests

Wentworth
=  large Jewish population
=  Turnbull has represented an electorate with “the largest Jewish community in New South Wales”

Turnbull
= staunch defender of the Israeli government
= strong relationship with many elements of Jewish community, & its major organisations

Censorship

'Hate speech' reform
= killed off by Abbott and Brandis duo

= Turnbull likely to back
Brandis’s attempt to:
more strictly regulate racist speech
which appears to have been driven by the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies concern at a speech made by Hizb ut-Tahrir
= Turnbull - will be careful not to antagonise the Jewish community

Israel
Turnbull competed every election with Labor candidates
= by promising to be the most loyal to the interests of the Israeli govt

= as PM,will need to temper his advocacy for Israel

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop
= on pro-Israel extreme side of spectrum

= opposition unlikely to challenge Turnbull on this, esp. 'Shadow Foreign Affairs' spox Tanya Plibersek

= biggest challenge re Iranian govt:
selling outreach and rehabilitation, under Julie Bishop
to Liberal party's Jewish supporters

Policy
  • led campaign for Australia to become a Republic
  • support for gay marriage
  • climate change - watered down version of Rudd’s plan


    Climate Change

    “We cannot be seen as a party of climate sceptics, of do-nothings on climate change." [Turnbull]

    = "Howard’s obstinacy on the issue helped pave the way for the election of Kevin Rudd in 2007." {Michael Brull, New Matilda - source article}

    = Turnbull negotiated "a watered down version of Rudd’s plan on climate change action" ... committed to no more than cuts of 5 per cent of emissions below 2000 by 2020"
    / described as inadequate {Michael Brull, New Matilda - source article}

    "attack on public opinion from both sides of the political spectrum played a major role in destroying public faith in the urgency of political action on climate change" {Michael Brull, New Matilda - source article}

    "Abbott’s gambit of fiercely opposing action on climate change was seen by many as a risky, if not foolish ..." {Michael Brull, New Matilda - source article}

    Turnbull
    lost the leadership of Liberals by x1 vote


    "... rebuke and overthrow of Turnbull for his position on climate change can be seen as the lesson to him in his second run as leader."   {Michael Brull, New Matilda - source article}


    Immigration
    2009

    Turnbull warned
    Australia a “soft target” by Rudd’s reforms to Howard’s policies


    Turnbull
    =  “The object of Australia's border protection policies should be no boats.”"

    Turnbull
    2009
    = said Rudd has “lost control of our borders”, with the arrival of a new “people smuggling boat with illegal immigrants”.

    Turnbull
    = favoured - reintroduction of:
    • Temporary Protection Visas
    • Offshore processing

      Muslim Schools

      1:15
      "It is important for us that we promote and encourage Islam and Islamic traditions which are moderate, which support freedom, which support democracy, and which support Australian values -- not in the sense of 'Aussie values' -- but in the sense of democracy, rule of law, tolerance, freedom.  That's what we're talking about."[Malcolm Turnbull]
      Video
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgTcwWOscqc&feature=youtu.be



      Jewish organisations
      =  thrilled by Turnbull’s promotion

      Muslim leaders
      = cautious optimism re rise of Turnbull

      Business

      =  very excited by the rise of Turnbull

      = business lobby is excited, & have good reason to be

      =  Turnbull might be able to push through their favoured measures:
      • reforms to laws - currently preventing media monopolies
      = Turnbull:  "only way, we can ... remain ... first-world society ... if we have outstanding economic leadership, if we have strong business confidence"

      *But:  WorkChoices and Joe Hockey’s first budget have shown, these are areas where Liberal govt must tread lightly

      Right-wing 'low-brow conservatives'
      = not so keen on Turnbull & elitism

      Murdoch press right-wing pundits
      = not fans of Turnbull


      Murdoch
      = but Rupert Murdoch  appears to have rallied behind Turnbull to beat the ALP

      Murdoch Press

      =  Murdoch press may well be able to turn away many of the Coalition’s voters from Turnbull

      {but, why would they?}

      MEDIA

      Turnbull
      = favourable coverage from:
      • Monthly
      • ABC
      • Fairfax

      LEFT

      Not much reason for leftists to be optimistic
      = different rhetoric, but same sell

      CONCLUSION
      Turnbull
      =  liberal instincts, tempered by the same ruthlessness he showed in his business dealings

      =  commitment to liberal values - outweighed by commitment to pursuing power when he led the Opposition

      COMMENT

      Summary, as I see the article. 

      Best to go to article for the full deal, as this is just what caught my eye ... and what I've understood, which isn't necessarily 100%. 

      Very good article.  Really enjoyed checking that out.
      So somewhere between being in defence of freedom of speech, Brandis has back-flipped and now wants tighter censorship of speech / expression that might cause 'offence'?

      That's rather confusing.  Can't Brandis make up his mind?
      Any chance of legislating against the passage of politically suppressive bullsh*t?
      Just did a catch-up on the Brandis back-flip, which is really also a Liberal party election promise back-flip:

      Brandis Backflip On Hate Speech

      http://markdreyfus.nationbuilder.com/brandis_backflip_on_hate_speech
      Laws restricting freedom of speech don't merely apply to the occasional 'genocide advocate' or whatever that guy is that's supposedly a catalyst for the Liberal party back-flip.
      Suppressive laws of this kind affect everybody, across all manner of political and historical debate -- or lack thereof.
