Turnbull echoes Abbott's call to have a go

PRIME Minister Malcolm Turnbull has put his own tech spin on his predecessor's call for Australians to "have a go".

WHILE Tony Abbott regularly trumpeted the importance of "having a go", whether urging Australians to get off welfare or spruiking this year's budget, Mr Turnbull said entrepreneurs should not be afraid of failure in attempts to modernise the country's economy through innovation.
