The Reluctant Republic
Before he became Australia’s 29th Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull was a leading figure in the Australian republic movement. The Reluctant Republic, originally released in 1993 and with a foreword by Bob Hughes, was Turnbull's manifesto. It remains a hugely relevant outline for Australian republicanism. The book traces the constitutional relationship with Great Britain in order to reveal Australia’s identity as a nation, and explores the political and historical options and imperatives for an Australian republic. Turnbull presents his plan for Australia’s future as a republic and includes recommendations from the report by the Republic Advisory Committee to Prime Minister Paul Keating, of which Turnbull was chair.
The Spycatcher Trial
Peter Wright’s Spycatcher received more legal attention than any other book in history. What started as an attempt by the Secret Service to muzzle a former M15 officer ended with the British Government on trial in Australia. The 1986 case made Spycatcher an international bestseller. And it made the young lawyer who had turned the ‘impossible’ case in Wright’s favour – Malcolm Turnbull – an international sensation. In The Spycatcher Trial, originally released in 1988, Turnbull gives a full account of arguably the highest-profile Australian case of all time, discussing Wright’s motives in publishing his dossier of facts and those of Margaret Thatcher and the British Government in relentlessly pursuing it. Above all, Turnbull recreates the drama of the trial that caught the imagination of the world and changed the life of the man who would become Australia’s 29th Prime Minister.
Born to Rule?
After wresting the prime ministership from long-term adversary Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull's term at the Lodge was brutally short. It traversed a soaring electoral honeymoon to the marathon 2016 election, to the compromises of a government with the slimmest of majorities and finally death by political sword. Why? Was it collateral damage for a Liberal Party tearing itself apart, or a consequence of the man himself? Born to Rule?, by esteemed journalist Paddy Manning, is the updated bestselling biography of one of Australia's most celebrated overachievers, charting his very public highs and lows in technicolour detail. Based on countless interviews and painstaking research, Born to Rule? ch...
Fighting for the Republic
Malcolm Turnbull was at the centre of the republican debate from the launch of the Australian Republican Movement in 1991 to Referendum day on 6 November 1999. He advised Paul Keating, negotiated with John Howard and had his first encounters with Tony Abbott. Win or lose, Turnbull was the driving force for an Australian republic, and the lightning rod for its enemies. It was in many ways the political origins of Australia’s 29th Prime Minister. In this extraordinarily frank memoir, originally released in 1999, Turnbull gives the ultimate insider’s account of the republican debate. He reveals the plays and strategies behind the Referendum and Constitutional Convention and exposes a world of egotists and idealists, many of whom are still prominent players on the Australian stage.

Stop at Nothing
What does Malcolm Turnbull stand for? In Stop at Nothing Annabel Crabb tells the story of the man who would be prime minister. Based on extensive interviews with Turnbull as well as those who have worked with him, this is an essay full of revelations. Crabb delves into young Malcolm's university exploits - which included co-authoring a musical with Bob Ellis - and his remarkable relationship with Kerry Packer, the man for whom he was at first a prized attack dog, and then a mortal enemy. She asks whether Turnbull - colourful, aggressive, humorous and ruthless - has what it takes to re-invigorate the Australian Liberal Party in the wake of John Howard. She discusses his vexed relationship wit...

Ego
The riveting story of an ex-prime minister, the travails of his successor's government, and what that bodes for the future of politics Malcolm Turnbull's campaign against Scott Morrison and the Liberal Party is one of the greatest acts of political disloyalty in Australian history. Through the pursuit of causes close to his heart, Turnbull destabilised a government he was once part of and courted forces openly hostile to it. This account explores the egos, alliances and thwarted power that have left a trail of personal destruction across the political world. Friends have been turned into enemies, loyalties eroded and reputations shattered. Time will tell whether Turnbull's response to his own political party sets Australia on a different course, but the discourse has changed forever, helped by social media, single-issue stances and a sense of virtue. Aaron Patrick reveals the stories behind the Morrison government's biggest scandals, from the shocking allegations against Christian Porter to the scandalous treatment of women inside the Liberal Party - stories with profound implications for Australian politics, media and society.
