Bishop tipped to run for PM
There will likely be three contenders to become Prime Minister tomorrow, reportedly including WA’s Julie Bishop, with Malcolm Turnbull preparing to call a second leadership spill.
Malcolm Turnbull AC was sworn in as the 29th Prime Minister of Australia on 15 September 2015, and held that role nearly three years. As PM, he cut taxes, largely returned the budget to surplus, and advocated a market-based solution to climate change through the National Energy Guarantee.
Mr Turnbull was a Cabinet Minister in the Howard and Abbott Governments. He served as Minister for the Environment and Water Resources in the Howard Government and Minister for Communications in the Abbott Government. Mr Turnbull also served as Leader of the Opposition from 2008 to 2009. He was the Member for Wentworth from 2004 to 2018.
In 2021, Mr Turnbull was awarded a Companion of the Order of Australia for eminent service to the people and Parliament of Australia, particularly as Prime Minister, through significant contributions to national security, free trade, the environment and clean energy, innovation, economic reform and marriage equality, and to business and philanthropy.
