‘Paranoid’: Rupert Murdoch’s candid assessment of Malcolm Turnbull

Rupert Murdoch has given a scathing assessment of former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, labelling him “nuts” and “paranoid” in an exclusive interview with Sky News Australia.
The interview is part of a new Sky News documentary ‘The Australian: 60 Years of News’ which premieres Monday 15 July at 8pm. The documentary will be on Sky News Australia, available to stream at SkyNews.com.au.

He is spot on about Turnbull.

Spot on and yet only touching the surface of that dishonourable cretin!

[@alancotterell9207]

Murdoch is talking through his spot.

[@LucienCanon]

100% correct about Turnbull.

[@CatsandJP]

And Turnbull was right about Murdoch…that he has created an “anger..taintment ecosystem”…and that’s why he advocates for a Royal Commission into Murdoch.

[@tb7667]

@@CatsandJP He advocates for a royal commission because he wants revenge against newspapers he thinks didn't support him. For Turnbull, it has nothing to do with anything else.

[@alancotterell9207]

Give or take 80% ?

[@InnocentAbyssinianCat-eb7ge]

Being interviewed by one of his own employees doubt if they are going to ask him how corrupt he is when the person doing the interview sold his soul and has no integrity as a human being just like his boss

History will not be kind to this mans legacy once he is gone.

Complete self centred arsehole who discovered Viagra in his 70's.

Au contraire, he will be regarded like Trump as an elite figure who stood for the common man, rather than trying to oppress the common man like the Leftist Fascists.

[@davegoldspink5354]

Have absolutely no respect for Malcolm Turdbull and Murdock’s assessment was totally spot on and looking at Turdbull’s behaviour since leaving politics he’s been little more than a spoilt baby with a massive chip on his shoulder and sold out this country so badly to the UN and to the climate alarmism cause. As far as John Howard goes I didn’t agree with a lot of decisions but he was no where near to being a bad PM unlike some of the massive cluster fu

[@Martinoconnor-du6lc]

not like abc, sbs, 10, 9, and 7. they're so honest and unbiased.

[@St.Thomas-er9iu]

@Martinoconnor-du6lc That's why I personally forced them to shut down their comments. They are scared for truth to come out, so they worked out as long nobody can comment they can push their agenda and lies without being opposed. Fool does not know what is awaiting for him at the end of a granted time due to damaged braincells... St.Thomas

[@steverogers9507]

100% on Howard in my time.

Turnbull is a classic example of what would happen if you figured out a way of polishing a turd.

[@countyorga764]

Keep polishing 😂.

[@ate71622]

Murdoch is good if you toe the line…just ask Tucker.😊

[@rangerscoach]

Turnbull is by far the worst. At least Rudd vs Gillard you had the popcorn machine out every time parliament went into its final sitting before a break. Turnbull was just atrocious. He’d make a good teal candidate. What do you think he’s talking about right now, probably some expensive water filtration system for his bidet or how we need to rip up prime agricultural land and build a wind farm, what fully electric car can he get to replace his Tesla

[@b.alexanderjohnstone9774]

I liked John Howard of course but didn’t realise how rare he was until I experienced, um, you know, every single bloody one since! (Abbott in fairness was a genuine patriot guided by principle and the traditions that made Australia what it was but Howard in a class of his own - a great conservative who brought the country along with him).

[@CatsandJP]

And sent Australians of to war in the Middle East TWICE…Afghanistan and Iraq.

[@colonelklink9911]

Hey Rupert, does Dominion still send you Christmas cards? 🤡

[@CatsandJP]

He’s just a nasty piece of work..he has always tried to influence politics…to suit himself…so he benefits most…let’s face it he can’t even keep a wife…The Australian Newspaper was once a reputable publication…but now it is extremely bias and not worth the paper it’s printed on.

[@thomaselliott573]

obviously, your spurious infantile comment was developed from smelling cat litter too often

[@z_nytrom99]

The Australian newspaper is one of the only publications that puts to print a broad range of perspectives progressive and conservative alike. If simply giving a voice to the conservative side of politics is enough in your book to discredit them then so be it, I along with many others will continue to happily read the most subscribed publication nationwide.

Who gives a tinker's curse about what Turnbull or Murdoch have to say, they're both as crooked as a barrel full of snakes. Howard wasn't much better, he may have done a few good things, but he played a big part in stuffing the whole country too, - sold off and privatised a major part of communications (The future of the world) to try prop up the economy. - Bought in the GST that he stated that would never bring in, but then couldn't do without. - Defunded and abolished ATSIC (No reviews or accountability of programs and funds) - Bought in the start of government broadcasting and internet censorship. - Bought in gun laws (via questionable means) that the criminals still don't seem to be listening to or abiding by. How do we keep getting PM's that don't seem to have the best interests of the country at the forefront of their main agenda.

[@esha7633]

Why would anyone trust this guy and listen to his comments? Always attempted to influence politics to his advantage. Couldn’t think of any other PM, but John Howard.

[@jhaduvala]

John Howard - the weasel from Wollstonecraft - was the beginning of the end of ethical behaviour in Australian politics.

Malcolm Turnbull the Paul Keating of the Liberal Party

I think all you need is an expert assigned by a brokerage company that will trade for you and handle your capital professionally and give you weekly returns of investment without any extra fees attached

To be honest I invested as low as $10,000 because I was skeptical about crypto initially. Recieving my profit weekly without any attached fees gave me more confidence to reinvest
