Malcolm Turnbull

I mean, it is, you know, I'm a free agent.

I'm still a member of the Liberal Party.

But, you know, we're all free.

I think politics would be healthier if there was more competition at the centre.

I really do.

I'm 71, not 51.

So it's really up to others to take the lead on this and the logical people to do that obviously are people that are already in parliament and have demonstrated that this type of centrist, small-L liberal approach is one that finds support with their electorates.

Yeah, thanks so much.

When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occasions, he's like the 12-year-old boy that goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. My hero. It is really creepy. It's really creepy. And that struck you at the time? Oh, absolutely. It struck everybody. It was like you could touch it. It was creepy. The creepiness was palpable.

And if you get to the point where anybody who can muster a majority, and I don't think Trump can do that, by the way, but anyone who can muster a majority is given absolute power and then can do whatever they like to the minority, That's not a democracy. That is a tyranny. That is an autocracy. Even if it's got the support of 50, 51% of the population, that is not what makes a democracy.
