Extracts from former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull's memoir have emerged, including claims that Scott Morrison shouldn't have won last year's election.
Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull does not believe the Scott Morrison-led coalition deserved to win the 2019 election.
"He's a professional politician who understands marketing and messaging better than most," Mr Turnbull writes in his memoir, A Bigger Picture, The Australian reports. ""All that aside, however, the truth is that Labor lost the election that the coalition, after the August coup, did not deserve to win."
Health Minister Greg Hunt says he won't be reading the memoir, which levels accusations at many government ministers, including him.Mr Turnbull also takes aim at his former cabinet colleagues, including Mr Morrison, for their roles in the coup that led to his resignation in August 2018.
