He came from VERY humble beginnings though.

Don't you know, he even lived in a rented flat once?!

From Wikipedia

He spent his first three years of school at Vaucluse Public School. He continued his primary education at Sydney Grammar Prep, St Ives. He then went to Sydney Grammar School's Senior school at College Street in Sydney

Don't have to say anything else

 

[youBROKEmyLIFE]

Yeah he went to Grammar, so? Fuck all y'all.

 

[incentivation]

He went to Grammar, assisted by a scholarship, where he repeatedly topped his class. As the same article mentions, he also set up a scholarship in memory of his dad in the late 80's at Grammar for bright students who were unable to meet the costs.

I don't even understand why his wealth is an issue. Most people don't even know that Gough Whitlam was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Australians have a real problem with those who create wealth and success, and honestly, I don't know why. We should be nurturing, not criticising wealth creation. If we had more Turnbull's in this country, we'd be better for it.

I don't know why everyone is bagging out Turnbull's wealth, isn't that what this country is all about? this country is the land of opportunities (sorry not America no more) that we can succeed and achieve what we want and to be on top starting from scratch, Turnbull is a good example of that.

As for Krudd, pfft he's living off the wealth from his money hungry hippo wife Teresa.

I'm bagging out the fact that he's trying to disguise it and trying to make out he pulled himself up from poverty to where he is today.

Fraser came from privilege but thankfully never made himself out to be some man of the working class.

So Turnbull was middle to upper middle class and managed to become extremely successful through hard work and obvious intelligence. How dare he tell this story?!

 

[Captain Gh3y]

i don't understand the labor party's point when they say he can't relate to working people

so basically to be pm you should have to be lazy or unintelligent? lol

 

[katie tully]

I like how he pointed out that Ruddkip is the richest PM.

But he isn't really, it's his man of a wife.

 

[youBROKEmyLIFE]

Why are we hating on an INCREDIBLY qualified person being in a position to be the prime minister?

This is retarded.

Yippee I qualify for both of those, me for PM.

Turnbull is the most exciting leader of a major political party since Keating at least.
This is a revenge of the Deakin legacy for Australian politics. Milton's liberal back from the dead.
Will be an unfair choice at election time. NEVER have the two parties been so similar - in a good way (this time the LIBERALS have shifted to Labor)
2010 will be suffocated with similarity, and it will come down to strength of leadership, which Rudd cant win.
Predict skin of your teeth labor

Is Turball really that charismatic? He's never struck me as that much of a good speaker, and he always seems a little flustered around the media...

He is quite hot for an old guy tho

 

[Iron]

The interview with Kerry last night was absolutely charming. He's the most charismatic guy in Parliament. A little aloof, but the radicals on both sides of politics love a bit o that

I will never be able to see him as such. My dad used to beat him up at school.

 

[Iron]

lol John Anderson used to beat up my father at Kings

 

[Nashie]

I am fully with iron on this one, he is a fantastic leader as he has achieved so much and should be seen as an inspiration. It is truely what this country is all about and why should we have someone who knows how to make money as PM so the country has the best chance to survive tough times and make the tough decisions. I know i voted liberal last time solely for the party not the leader, next time it will be truely for the leader (unless he fucks up baaaddd!)

why bag out therese if she has had a similar path to turnbull? wouldn't she be an equally good example, especially considering that she makes her money from helping the long-term unemployed re-enter the workforce?

But she's married to the leader of the Labor Party, you see. That makes her one level above child molester in these parts.
