Federal elections were held in Australia on 9 October, 2004.

During the campaign, Turnbull spent over $600,000 on electoral expenditure. [6] The Liberal vote fell 10 percent, but Turnbull still won.
Since his election Turnbull has made a series of speeches on economic matters, particularly taxation, which some commentators have seen as implied criticisms of the policies of the Treasurer, Peter Costello, although Turnbull denies this.

James (Jim Peacock AC is the former Chief Scientist of Australia, and the current President of the Australian Academy of Science. Critics have accused him of failing to assess the environmental cost of the mill in terms of forest destruction and greenhouse emissions. According to the Wilderness Society, the Pulp Mill will, amongst a number of other toxic emissions, increase Australia's yearly contribution to greenhouse gas emission by more than 2 per cent. This reportedly amounts to an extra 10 million tonnes of greenhouse gas a year[9]

During the 2007 election campaign, Turnbull announced that the then Government, would contribute $10 million to the investigation of an untried Russian technology that aims to trigger rainfall from the atmosphere, even when there are no clouds.

Nicholas Hugh Minchin (born 15 April 1953) Australian politician has been a Liberal member of the Australian Senate since July 1993 [16] This led to a disagreement between the two and culminated in Minchin privately telling Turnbull that he was "too fucking sensitive"[17]
