Nemesis (Australian TV series)

Nemesis is a 2024 Australian three-part documentary television series produced by ABC TV which follows the Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison governments, as well as the leadership challenges faced by these prime ministers. Nemesis covers the period from Tony Abbott's election as Prime Minister in 2013 until the 2022 federal election, when Scott Morrison led the Liberal-National Coalition to defeat. The program follows the ABC's contemporary tradition of producing similar long-form retrospective documentary series of Australian governments, such as Labor in Power, The Howard Years and The Killing Season.

The series consists of more than 60 interviews with members of the Coalition governments conducted by investigative reporter Mark Willacy. Willacy interviewed key Coalition figures from the Liberal and National parties, including former Prime Ministers Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison. Abbott declined to be interviewed, making him the first former prime minister to decline an interview in the three decades that the ABC has made these retrospective political documentaries.

Media reported various "revelations" from the series, including that:

• Abbott considered deploying Australian troops to the site of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crash site
• Morrison initially thought that Abbott awarding a knighthood to Prince Philip was "fake news"
• After contacting Abbott after the September 2015 leadership spill, Abbott told Turnbull to "fuck off"
• Turnbull took his colleagues by surprise by calling the 2018 leadership spill
• Morrison took the decision to award himself multiple ministries "on the run"
• Morrison considered the AUKUS pact to be the best decision of his government

Nemesis was first announced in November 2023, and first aired in January 2024.
