Broadcasters or politicians or writers who think that they are respecting Struggle Street, the battlers, by dumbing things down into one-line sound bites are not respecting them, they are treating them with contempt. Its our job above all in politics to tackle the big issues and to explain them. – Malcolm Turnbull

The proliferation of outlets that digital technology has enabled has itself contributed to the changing nature of what we regard as news and the way in which many citizens perceive politics. – Malcolm Turnbull

The only reason to be in politics is public service. Theres no other reason. Frankly, if thats the best job you can get in terms of money, thats too bad, you know. Because frankly, its not well paid, everyone knows that. So for most people its a big sacrifice. – Malcolm Turnbull
