Kitchen Cabinet

Malcolm Turnbull (3x1)

Ausstrahlung: Jul 02, 2013

Former Liberal leader Malcolm Turnbull is no stranger to Annabel Crabb, she profiled him for her 2009 Walkley Award winning Quarterly Essay "Stop At Nothing: The Life and Adventures of Malcolm Turnbull". For this encounter Malcolm Turnbull invites Annabel to his property in country NSW, to catch their own yabbies for lunch. He talks openly about how his father Bruce raised him after the unexpected departure of his mother (and all the household furniture) at age 9. A dab hand in the kitchen, Malcolm cooks roast tomato, yabby and rocket pasta whilst regaling Annabel with stories about his time working for Kerry Packer. For lunch they are joined by Malcolm's wife, Lucy Turnbull, former Lord Mayor of Sydney. Lucy reveals the difficulty of being the spouse during fierce leadership battles. They shed light on Malcolm's leadership defeat, the bleak period that followed his removal and how he has found his equilibrium again.
