Q+A: Malcolm Turnbull attacks ‘shocking legacy’ of Murdoch and News Corp on climate crisis

- In a heated debate about media bias on the ABC’s Q+A program, the former prime minister says Rupert Murdoch and his media company have 'done enormous damage' to western democracies, in particular on the subject of global warming. ‘The company you work for and its friends in politics, like Trump and others, have turned this issue of physics into an issue of values or identity,' Malcolm Turnbull tells the Australian’s editor-at-large, Paul Kelly, adding: 'Saying you believe or disbelieve in global warming is like saying you believe or disbelieve in gravity.' He calls on Kelly and other New Corp employees to 'speak up' and call out their employer. Kelly argues that Turnbull is exaggerating the impact that Murdoch’s global media company has on the issue of climate change

Considering the Editor-In-Chief of The Australian clearly didn't know what he was talking about with regard to The Dismissal and the Palace Letters, some conclusions can be drawn about the Murdoch view of the world.
Thank you for not disabling the comments section
Shove climate change up yours.
@@lollyroger Pardon?
What a load of BS. The entire mainland Australia is governed by ALP at both federal and state levels.
The Malcom Turnball, Kevin Rudd pair up was a big surprise.
2020 is a weird one
I wonder if rudd works for biden.
@B Lo fair enough. But at the end of the day, there both cheats.
@B Lo lol yup both him and Obama are effectively republicans
And you buy it, they're playing both sides
Handball will never be the same again
This is how you shut down nonsense unapologetically.
Brilliant.
You love to see it!
Yes shut down nonsense with even louder nonsense.
@@mickoz9389 No shut down nonsense with louder reality.
@@jamespyke6764 Yes the version of reality that frequents your basement.
But he didn't let him talk he just emotionally yelled, that seems to be the strategy of the left across the board
This is the true Malcolm turnbull, without newscorp and the far right holding his leash.
Too bad he wasn't in the most powerful position in Australia to do something about it, oh wait he did, he cut the ABC's budget every year he was in office.
@@Levi-qb2uf not to mention his BS NBN that was purposefully slower and worse than the Labor plan, because Murdoch didn't want Foxtel to have to compete with streaming services.
@@Levi-qb2uf Shut up. He got ousted for trying to work on climate change, he tried to do ONE thing positive and he got kicked out the LNP. THAT IS HOW BIG MURDOCH'S HOLD IS IN AUSTRALIAN POLITICS
@@thebeyegee no one's talking about the leadership spill so why are you bringing it up?
@@thebeyegee exactly prime minister means nothing. It is a scapegoat to pin the blame on for the masses while the big dogs i. E murdoch, Rinehart, packer etc pull the strings. Anyone who thinks @levi cause he is pm he should of changed things is a buffoon.
If Malcom spoke like this as prime minister, he'd still be prime minister.
It sadly wouldn't have ended up like that. Malcolm Turnbull paid the price and it cost him his job. Rupert Murdoch's News Corp runs the Government at Federal level with the LNP party. Malcolm tried to fight against it but was removed from office.
If he spoke like that as prime minister his party wouldn't have been elected because the Australian electorate is pretty centre-right.
He did. And the Murdoch/Abbot/Crelin/Jones/Sky News camps skinned him.
@@ilikevines If the whole party would speak up then it might change the public's mind.
As he said, this shouldn't be a political/partisan issue. It's about the health of the planet.
Yes, not much waffling in that short stint and the only lib with any moral compass.
How many times has the Australian being caught out lying in their papers.
How many times has the Guardian spouted unproved and plain wrong garbage particularly on climate. I have detailed files.
@@mickoz9389 no you don't
@@mickoz9389 what day are you saving, your "detailed files", for?
Just go on Sky News Australia and look at the lies and shambles they are in...
@@fairdinkum977 the 12th.........
of never
It's called imagination.
Malcolm at his finest. I wish his spine had this presence when he was at the helm.
Exactly! I really like Turnbull (pre & post PM). He was so gutless & contradictory during those brief years - here he's fire & brimstone!!
He was in a completely no win situation, he would of been knifed in the back a lot sooner had he not towed the party line. It's the faceless faction leaders that control the LNP. He should of joined Labor.
@@RACGump absolutely, I understand that and agree. The National party is the concrete boots of Australian politics.
@@RACGump 100%
100% agree. Voiced the same sentiments when I saw this clip....Kelly is cowering for the same reasons Turnbull did in office. I often wondered if Turnbull had stood up for his convictions & got rolled - he would have won over the public for his stand & conviction. Just bided his time. He is/was young enough to make a comeback after sitting it out behind the scenes & watched Abbott shoot himself in the foot. Nope! - I am probably naive in wishing so..
Paul Kelly says " How dare you?"
How ironic!
Greta Thunberg asked the same question regarding the wilful destruction of our home and got scolded worldwide by the Murdoch press for being a petulant child.
Grow a spine Paul!
Set an example to your colleagues
Murdoch is known for being ironic and hypocritical. I really hope that people will listen to Greta Thunberg on climate change, rather than these bullies at News Corp
Classic tactic. When you can't morally defend yourself, deny and attack.
The How dare you tactic is an old one designed to put people on the back foot what a piece of garbage
Unbelievable. I found a UA-cam comment that no one could dislike. Somewhere this rang so true.
Yes Paul Kelly is despicable.
I wish Malcolm Turnbull said all these things when he was prime minister!
I reckon it would have gone down well! Considering the party overthrew him anyways he may as well have gone down swinging.
@@PotatoesRnice I believe the reason they chucked him was because he was too progressive on climate change. He would have been under a lot of pressure to shut up about it
couldnt say a word--the libs are full of coal burners just look where the donations come from
He did try to, But got shut down by his own Party.
Better late than never. Malcolm is redeeming himself.
1:56 I never thought I'd see Paul Kelly quote Greta Thunberg, but here we are.
I bet you she has read more than Murdoch and most of their reporters.
I love how unapologetic Turnbull is. “YES I AM LECTURING YOU!” “YES I DO DARE!” Wow
Why is Australia and the USA still having debates on this climate issue ,
it's an embarrassment The Rest of the World is Laughing at us
It's because of Fox (faux) News in the US. And the Murdoch press in Australia.
Including the African continent
Solely because of Murdoch media, they are terrorists
@@TheJeandahl Ah Tim, it appears that you understand what the term 'rest of the world' means. Well done.
@@domoarigato3000 since when in history has Africa been equally included with the "rest of the world?" It's just synonymous with "aids" and "starvation" and general insignificance
better late than never malcom ! shame these people were controlling your time in office
"How dare you!!"
The pearl clutching last redoubt of the coward being brought to book.
He dares to because you have a duty to tell the truth to your readers and to your country and to your fellow humans!! It's not complicated!!
Nicely phrased my dude, you gave me a smile and I wholeheartedly agree with you too 👍
The best thing was when he said "I dare to do it..."
He's one of the richest men in the country with a generous ex-parliamentarian's pension set up for him, he can say whatever he likes.
He dares because like those who are lacking in evidence make up for in linguistics 🤷🏼♀️🙄
The Trumpys are mad at Fox news now 🤣😂🤣
Haha they fired the "lush" broad!
I am loving Malcome's heel turn on the liberals and their bosses, just tearing the party apart from the inside, first his book and now this and teaming up with Rudd!
Go Turnbull! Loving Kevin Rudd’s and Turnbull’s new take down of RupertMurdoch’s lies!
Paul Kelly is a disgrace. You have earned enough and should retire and make a stand for future generations.
He doesn't have to retire. He can work anywhere. He chose Murdoch's money. Yes he is a disgrace.
“Talk to Lachlan.”
😂😂😂
This video brings me so much joy
Rudd and Turnbull are apparently the Romeo and Juliet of Australian Politics. It makes me so happy that this is starting to become a bipartisan issue.
I mean, turnbull was a labour member...
I don't care about politics.
I’m stunned at whatever the Murdoch Corp guy just called justification for his actions. Do people really believe this kind of thinking?
@Taj Miller have you ever played monopoly? Do you even have friends to play it with?
BAM! Love Australians straight up people. We need that guy over here( states).
this is the difference between the two countries, turnbull is considered right wing in australia and the rest of the world because of his economic stand points, in the us he would be far left lol
@@MVKreal And that's why America is slowly going down the gurgler.
@Roxy Tiger just speaking in comparison to our "stable genius" over here.
Glad to hear people holding Murdoch corporation and its toxic medias accountable.
How very textbook murdoch, deflect the question with helpless outrage, "how dare you..."
Boom. Thank you Malcom (..and Kevin).
Was never a real Turnball backer, but after seeing what he’s done since leaving office I’m really coming around. Too bad he wasn’t like this as PM.
Get 'em Malcolm!
A pity he didn't have this fire as PM his legacy might have been inspiring
Actually, Malcolm T may be more value to Au out of politics. As you see in this video, he has no Murdoch and LCP constraints.
"How dare you ask me to consider the consequences of my actions!"
How dare you keep peddling the dark lord's agenda at the expense of this county's future Paul Kelly ... shame ... shame ... the science is clear quit with the hand wringing ... the outrage at being lectured to is unbelievable given the lecturing that paper does to all Australian politicians ...
To think we had an intelligent and erudite Prime Minister at one point in time. Will never happen again.
I'll always vote Greens/Labor, and would probably disagree with Turnbull on a lot of other things, but I really like what he says here.
This is why I had confidence to Turnbull but zero faith to Abbott.
Wow great to see the former prime minister and leader of the LNP finally come out and give murdock a mouth full , Murdock wants to turn Australia into another USA, and we the citizens are not going to let that happen.
Well done Malcon Turnbull 👏👏
This is a growing movement that is turning away from all the B.S!
Well done Turnbull you're a legend
“How dare you lecture me about what moral position I should take” ... but isn’t that what the Murdoch Press does all the time, Paul? The Murdoch Press so often make moral arguments, so it’s fair game you get some yourself.
Is Paul Kelly really lamenting that Climate Change deniers aren't getting air time. Has the dog stolen his brain. If one of our most experienced journalists could question such a ridiculous scenario, heaven help the cadets as to how they could possibly value their future.
Considering the Editor-In-Chief of The Australian clearly didn't know what he was talking about with regard to The Dismissal and the Palace Letters, some conclusions can be drawn about the Murdoch view of the world.
I think you'll find he is exactly correct if you bother to do a little research
@@johncosta5745 Not according to two others on the panel - including the historian who actually has some expertise on the subject. But hey, who needs experts when you can do your own research, eh John? :)
Turnbull is gonna have the best redemption story
Malcolm unleashed. Awesome
Why are our prime ministers regularly so much better when they're no longer in office?
Right?! Where was this new found spine that he's discovered when he was in an actual position of power and authority? Acknowledging you have cancer but not treating it for over a decade.
You have to keep the rest of your party happy.
About time someone on that side of the fence said that! Murdoch should stand trial for the lives that will be lost when the climate catastrophe is upon us! I’m not kidding...and all the politicians who have taken advantage of their positions to obfuscate and make their piles of loot should be next.
@misuyy fong he was so disappointing as PM. He was spineless.
Get em Malcom, well done son
sing brother malcolm ..........SING !!!!
Malcolm who???
I'm a big fan of Kelly because his writing skills are so much better than anyone else. Maybe Turnbull is right here. We need to hear what Kelly really thinks of Murdoch. But problem , who would he write for? ABC is too progressive for him.
I bet Sly news Australia lover's hid....
I’ve been saying this since 2004. Add Limbaugh to the list
Never thought I'd agree with you Turnsy. My opinion has now changed.
This is so satisfying. Saying what we all wish to say.
Legend - he should still be PM with his own party, and if we ever get that republic he should be up there too.
It’s about time Malcolm actually had a go at real politics he believes in instead of dancing straight to the right
Well done Malcolm
"How dare you" the last position of someone who knows they have no arguement
The Anakin Skywalker of Australian politics
Back on the right side of history when its needed most
👏👏👏👏👏
Cheers Malcolm :)
Nailed it! I have a newfound respect for Ozzies now. And even an x-minister. Would you believe it. All the trump nonsense had me almost forgetting there's intellectuals in politics too.
🙌👏👏👏👏👏🙌🏆
Brilliant! Go Malcolm!
A whole new respect for malcom turnball he just won my vote!
Malcolm! Well said! Brought a tear to my eye.
Meanwhile Turnbull completely overrid section 100 of the Australian Constitution re: water rights.
So what happened the next? The Australian comes out attacking Turnbull and the A.B.C. Surprise, surprise.
This was beautiful/poetic even
That gravity comparison is brilliant.
Yeah Malcolm!
Great job Malcolm
He should've said this when he was in office and had real power
He actually has more power now, being PM ur essentially being chained by the backers and power brokers of the party
Paul Kelly...” how dare you lecture me about my career” , what a hypocrite his entire career is tapping out editorial “ opinions” about people, their careers, and the direction of this country’s democracy and now he can’t handle it and then proceeds to blame tech companies. Time to walk into the sunset Paul.
Well done Malcolm Turnbull
The truth need not fear investigation
Why did you cut our the best bits?
"How dare you?" Who does this guy think he is, Greta Thornburg?
Malcolm Turnbull just went Ultra Instinct 😂
Malcolm Turnbull nails it!
All of a sudden im a malcolm turnball fan.
The 1 liberal PM I liked
This is a super discussion. No bullets, knives, punches. You got to love the tone of a well educated man throwing insults.
The greatest threat to democracy is how anything to do with Rupert Murdoch should be explained, it's about time someone told it how it really is, kudos to Malcolm.
Eloquent and merciless; I love it.
Absolutely based
What a shill that guy is
Turnbull unleashed
Paul's whole body language by placing your thingers together to make himself seem more intelligent but he just got called out so he's not looking so smart now.
Wonderfully stated! If only Malcolm had done this while he was still prime minister, he would likely still be prime minister.
Oh this was brilliant! Mr Turnbull you are a scholar and a gentleman.
Gentleman?
I wouldn't go that far..
He was unnecessarily nasty and knowingly untruthful as the PM.
You like what you see here because for a change it's justified.
Best thing since Biden beat Trump and the Admirables ate the Deplorables
How dare Malcolm challenge Paul Kelly's motives and honesty? Because what he says is the truth. Without question, Rupert is the most influential Australian in our country's history, and his influence on world affairs has been almost entirely pernicious.
Malcom: “people at news corp should speak up and say publicly what they are saying privately”
PM Malcom: grabbed by the balls by a right wing minority within his own party...
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Paul Kelly looks half dead. What does he care what the world will be like in even ten years time? It's not like he's gonna live to see it. Solipsism, be praised!
When you measure on a scale of 10
years the climate in Paul's air-con'd nursing probably won't change very much.
Where was THIS Malcolm Turnbull when he was in government? PM Turnbull was so spineless you'd think he'd been filleted.
I, for one, want a political party ENTIRELY made up of former politicians and Prime ministers. It seems we only see their true quality once they no longer need to pander to their interest groups.
FUCKEN ROASTED BY TURNBULL 🔥🔥🔥 that's the kinda Turnbull that could lead Australia.
I got a call from The Australian recently. They asked me why I no longer subscribe to their news. To say I was curt in my response is an understatement, at best. I ended up saying, "I don't understand why I need to explain my reasoning behind cancelling my subscription to The Australian. I just stopped subscribing. That's it. Why am I being called and asked specifically to explain myself?".
Paul Kelly...Great musician...This toadying sycophant isn't worthy of the same name.
If this is the 'real'Malcolm Turnbull then where was he, where did he stand up for the very issues so vehemently addressed in this panel, when he was PM of Australia. Here in Europe we still get the idea that there's always a conservative, very right wing overshadowing the climate debate. Time and time again. Even so-called center-left governments can't seem to turn the devastating ship around. Courage is not important OUT of office, but when you're IN office.
