I’m seriously crossing every finger and toe here that you’re right.

That he was a partner at Goldman Sachs (read above thread for bbc link) is disconcerting and you should definitely be heard if he tries something really stupid...

I regard the Goldman Sachs thing as a bit of a red herring really - it’s getting play in the US and UK press largely because of the fact that American and British know what Goldman Sachs is but are fairly unlikely to have heard of anything else that Turnbull has been involved in as the rest is very specifically Australian. What he is known for here, in terms of business, is mostly starting one of Australia’s first truly successful internet businesses. Besides that he was a lawyer who fought very hard on issues of freedom of speech (and I hope he will come back to that as Prime Minister, because some work needs to be done there), and he was once head of the Australian Republican Movement (which wants to replace Australia’s constitutional monarchy with a Republic). The Goldman Sachs thing was a very short period compared to everything else.
