About this listen
Candid and compelling, A Bigger Picture is the definitive narrative of Malcolm Turnbull’s prime ministership. He describes how he legalised same-sex marriage, established Snowy Hydro 2.0, stood up to Donald Trump and many achievements – remarkable in their pace and significance, and that they were delivered in the teeth of so much opposition.
But it’s far more than just politics. Turnbull’s life has been filled with colourful characters and controversies, success and failure. From his early years in Sydney, growing up with a single father, to defending ‘Spycatcher’ Peter Wright against the UK government; the years representing Kerry Packer, leading the Republican Movement and making millions in business; and finally toppling Tony Abbott to become Prime Minister of Australia. For the first time he tells it all - in his own words.
With revelatory insights on the workings of Canberra and the contentious events of Turnbull’s life, A Bigger Picture explores the strengths and vulnerabilities of one of Australia’s best-known and most dynamic business and political leaders.

Insightful
In the days leading up to it's release, the media and mp's mentioned herein, collectively sought to discredit what I can recommend to you as an incredibly enjoyable read. There are times in politics where we debate amongst our peers as citizens, why a particular decision was made, or what was discussed that led to that decision. I have always valued Malcom's views, pragmatic business sense and progressive in the climate space, with an understanding of how to link the global concern with economic opportunities. He was a visionary for Australian politics. I did not find this book vindictive in tone or an attempt to slander his former colleagues. I would say that he expresses views that are both praiseful for strong peformance and loyalty to the elected leader, party and Australia, while unfiltered where appropriate and as a human being with a pulse, understandable.

Worth it!
The known few in the media and some politicians (all of whom are mentioned within this book) and their attempt to discredit and malign from the truth taken on face-value, all fall desperately flat.
Malcolm tells the story of the plight of the average Aussie citizen to the whim of egos in Canberra, and those powerful few in media. Albeit not his primary intention, I am certain.
A Bigger Picture is eye-opening, if not eye-watering to the back-door tactics of Australian politics. Incredible stories, narrated brilliantly. I recommend this book to anyone with the slightest interest in Australian politics.

The Ultimate Insiders Account
I can highly recommend this book. It's a warts and all account of an extraordinary life. Brilliantly written and he pulls no punches with a who's who of characters from the Law, Publishing, Politics & the Arts in Australia over the last 30 or so years. The ultimate insiders account. Do yourself a favour & put this on your reading list.

Was a good read until the NBN chapter
Very well narrated by MT. A great insight into the life and rise of someone who could have made a great difference to Australian politics but in some way, ended up selling his soul.
Thoroughly enjoyed the read / listen right up until the chapter about the NBN, had to skip that chapter. The book would be 5 stars without the NBN chapter.
Worth a read / listen but skip the NBN chapter.

A brilliant insightful account
A window into contemporary conservative politics in Australia. A very thoughtful analysis of the issues that Australia faces and the frustrations that our ethical leaders are dealing with in the pursuit of change.

highly recommended
enjoyed the book far more than I thought I would. would highly recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest in Australian politics. Even those who aren't Malcolm Turnbull fans, although you might roll your eyes at times with the self vindication on certain political issues.

A magnificent audiobook
This is an extraordinary work which is comprehensive in scope. It is worth listening to for the policy detail alone, let alone the politics. Nor does it matter which side of politics you subscribe to. It is also a very human story and there is something quite compelling in having the former Prime Minister narrate the book as if you were in the room with him. Extraordinary.

A good listen, very interesting and informative
Would love to know Malcolm Turnbull’s take on Morrison at this juncture! Must wonder if the intent the establish a federal integrity commission was the nail in the coffin?
