In \u003cem\u003eStop at Nothing\u003c/em\u003e Annabel Crabb tells the story of the man who would be prime minister.\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on extensive interviews with Turnbull as well as those who have worked with him, this is an essay full of revelations. Crabb delves into young Malcolm\u0026#39;s university exploits - which included co-authoring a musical with Bob Ellis - and his remarkable relationship with Kerry Packer, the man for whom he was at first a prized attack dog, and then a mortal enemy. She asks whether Turnbull - colourful, aggressive, humorous and ruthless - has what it takes to re-invigorate the Australian Liberal Party in the wake of John Howard. She discusses his vexed relationship with Kevin Rudd, and the looming presence of Peter Costello.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a scintillating portrait by one of the country\u0026#39;s most incisive reporters.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;How would Australia be different if he were prime minister? What are his most closely held policy convictions? I asked dozens of Malcolm Turnbull\u0026#39;s political colleagues this question, asking them to name three. Many of them had to pause before responding. \u0026#39;You\u0026#39;ll have to excuse me. I\u0026#39;m eating some chocolate,\u0026#39; was the best initial response, from a Liberal on the other end of a phone line.\u0026quot; Annabel Crabb, \u003cem\u003eStop at Nothing\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis issue also contains correspondence discussing Quarterly Essay 33, \u003cem\u003eQuarry Vision\u003c/em\u003e, from Patrice Newell, Bernard Keane, Robert Merkel, Brian Toohey, John Hewson, David Karoly, and Guy Pearse\u003c/p\u003e
