Singapore-based fund manager Alex Turnbull is the son of the ousted PM Malcolm and self-described “activist in most senses of the word”.
Since the leadership coup in August of last year, Alex has been publicly scathing of the state of the Liberal Party and has actively campaigned to get centrist independents elected in traditionally safe Liberal seats. Alex joined me via Skype to talk with me about about his new approach to politics and public debate, what the heck the “sensible centre” really means and whether or not his dad ever watched my TV show.
