‘Will not be judged by this man’: Paul Murray blasts former PM Malcolm TurnbullSky News host Paul Murray has blasted former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull for criticising Sky News Australia’s coverage of the Voice to Parliament. Mr Turnbull will take part in an online forum hosted by the Australians for a Murdoch Royal Commission group, which has claimed Sky News Australia is running a campaign against the Voice. Mr Murray criticised the former prime minister and defended Sky News Australia’s Voice debate channel, along with the network's various reporters and opinion hosts. “I will not allow Malcolm Turnbull to sit in judgement of this channel or this company on this issue,” he said.
