Malcolm Turnbull’s son Alex is soliciting donations for Labor ahead of a byelection in his father’s former seat of Wentworth, telling followers it is the “best bang for the buck you’ll get in political donations in your life”.
Alex Turnbull, a Singapore-based fund manager, promised to “say what I think a bit more” following his father’s ousting as Prime Minister in last week’s Liberal Party coup, in which he was replaced by former treasurer Scott Morrison.
In a wide-ranging interview with Fairfax Media this week, he said it was “impossible” to vote for the Coalition “in good conscience” because of its climate change stance, and accused the Liberal Party of being hijacked by the coal industry.
On Saturday, he plugged his friend Tim Murray, the Labor candidate for his father’s former seat of Wentworth in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, directing his followers to Mr Murray’s donations page.
“Best bang for the buck you’ll get in political donations in your life,” the younger Turnbull tweeted. “Tight race, tight margin for government, big incremental effect whatever happens. If you want a federal election now this is the means by which to achieve it.”
