Malcolm Bligh Turnbull (born 24 October 1954) is the 29th and current Prime Minister of Australia. He became Prime Minister and Leader of the Liberal Party in 2015 and has been the Member of Parliament for Wentworth since 2004. Turnbull attended Sydney Grammar School before going to the University of Sydney, where he received a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws. He then attended Brasenose College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar, where he attained a Bachelor of Civil Law. Before entering politics, Turnbull worked as a journalist, lawyer, investment banker and venture capitalist. In 1993, he became the Chair of the Australian Republican Movement, serving in the position until 2000. Briefly Minister for the Environment and Water in the Howard Government in 2007, Turnbull was elected Leader of the Liberal Party in September 2008, becoming Leader of the Opposition. In November 2009, his support for the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme proposed by the Rudd Government split the Liberal Party, and in a ballot the following month Turnbull lost the leadership to Tony Abbott by one vote. Initially intending to leave politics, Turnbull remained in Parliament and eventually became Minister for Communications in the Abbott Government in September 2013. On 14 September 2015, after consistently poor opinion polling for the Government, Turnbull challenged Abbott for the leadership and won the subsequent ballot by 10 votes.〔Pamela Wilson, "How to stage a coup", ''The Australian'', October 20, 2015.〕 He was sworn in as Prime Minister of Australia the following day and formed the Turnbull Government. == Early life and education == Malcolm Turnbull was born in Sydney on 24 October 1954 to Bruce Bligh Turnbull and Coral Magnolia Lansbury. His maternal grandmother, May Lansbury (née Morle), was born in England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography – Coral Magnolia Lansbury – Australian Dictionary of Biography )〕 His father was a hotel broker and his mother was a radio actor, writer and academic and a second cousin〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Obituary – Coral Magnolia Lansbury – Obituaries Australia )〕 of the British film and television actor Angela Lansbury.〔 They separated when Turnbull was nine, with Turnbull's mother leaving first for New Zealand and then the United States. Turnbull was then raised by his father.〔 Turnbull spent his first three years of school at Vaucluse Public School. He then attended the St Ives preparatory school at Sydney Grammar School as a boarder. In senior school he was a boarder at the former Randwick campus〔 of the school while attending classes at the main College Street campus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Panellist: Malcolm Turnbull )〕 on a partial scholarship.〔〔 He was senior school co-captain in 1972, as well as winning the Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition, excelling particularly in the literary subjects such as English and history.〔 However, contrary to certain sources,〔 Turnbull was not the dux of his graduating year at Sydney Grammar. In 1987, in memory of his late father, he set up the Bruce Turnbull means-tested scholarship at Sydney Grammar, which offers full remission of fees to a student unable to afford them.〔 In 1973 Turnbull attended the University of Sydney and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree (majoring in political science) in 1977 and a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1978. During his studies, he was active in student politics, serving as Board Director of the University of Sydney Union.〔http://honisoit.com/2015/09/peculiar-turnbullisms-malcolm-at-sydney-uni/〕〔http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/presidency-a-predictor-of-future-political-success-20120914-25xoq.html〕 He also worked as a political journalist for ''Nation Review'', Radio 2SM and Channel 9 covering state politics. In 1978, Turnbull won a Rhodes Scholarship〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rhodes scholars )〕 and attended Brasenose College, Oxford, where he studied for a Bachelor of Civil Law degree from 1978 to 1980, graduating with honours. While at Oxford, he worked for ''The Sunday Times'' and contributed to newspapers and magazines in the United States and Australia. While at Oxford, a university don wrote of Turnbull that he was “always going to enter life’s rooms without knocking”.〔("Politics in Australia" ), economist.com〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malcolm Turnbull」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
