    In this episode the Elephants meet former Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull AC. It’s a feast for the mind as they talk threats to the Rule of Law in a world of lies and shifting narratives, taking on the British Government in the Spycatcher case and how he used his legal training to tackle the big issues as Kerry Packer’s lawyer and as PM. It’s a ripper so strap in!
