malcolm turnbull 

29th and current Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia.

Affectionately referred to by his adoring party members north of 50 in the most serious of circumstances as: Malcolm Turncoat, or some other clever variation thereof.

Rather large fan of pontificating and gesturing dramatically either barefisted or with his trendy glasses held aloft in an attempt to enthuse people poorer than himself as to the merits of a government agenda he himself does not believe which is largely pushed upon him by a rabid right-wing caucus under the firm command of the insurgent former Prime Minister and standard bearer for those who like their onions just a little too raw, Tony Abbott.

Lives in Wentworth, Sydney.

Likes Kayaking, his wife (hopefully), and his three Dalmatian-poodle-shiatsu crosses, Mo-Mo, Puddles, and HRH Richard the III.
You, generally ignorant of the inner workings of the Government of Australia: "Oh man, how's the PM Kevin Rudd going?"
Your cluey friend: "Oh Julia Gillard stabbed him in the back and took his job."
You: "Oh, how's she doing as PM?"
Friend: "Oh, Kevin Rudd stabbed her in the back and took her job."
You: "Oh, well how's he doing as PM then?"
Friend: "Dunno, Tony Abbott took his job."
You: "Ah shit, how's my main man Abbott doing as PM?"
Friend: "Dunno, Malcolm Turnbull stabbed him in the back and took his job."

You: "Well... shit."

Doing a Malcolm Turnbull 

Weaseling your way into an institution that you couldn't possibly hope to have built yourself simply so you can subvert it for your own personal benefit that are at odds with what built that institution in the first place.

Named after Malcolm Turnbull, the 29th Prime Minister of Australia, who joined the Australian Liberal Party even though his political and social views aligned with the Australian Labor Party. He worked against his leader, undermining Prime Minister Tony Abbott to knife him in the back and take the prime ministership - something he could never have obtained via a general election had he not been the incumbent.

Other examples include the subversion of long established fandoms such as Star Wars and Doctor Who and how the woke left now push their marxist agenda
