Malcolm Turnbull has hit back at the nine Liberal Party 'insurgents' he claims conspired to depose him during the leadership spill.

In his first media appearance since being ousted as prime minister, he took aim at the key person who led the challenge - Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton.

He also listed Greg Hunt, Mathias Cormann, Tony Abbott, Mitch Fifield, Steve Ciobo, Michaelia Cash, Michael Keenan and Angus Taylor during the interview on ABC's Q&A.

Mr Turnbull appeared on a special episode of Q&A on Wednesday night, where he answered questions from ABC journalist Tony Jones and members of the public

Mr Turnbull's naming and shaming came in the opening moments of the episode on Thursday night, where he answered questions from host Tony Jones and members of the public.

The ex-prime minister had been answering a question from an audience member - who asked simply why he had been removed as leader.

'The only people that can answer that are the people that engineered the coup — people like Peter Dutton and Tony Abbott and Greg Hunt and Mathias Cormann — the people who voted for the spill,' Mr Turnbull said.

'Most of them are well known. There are no bones about who they are. They have to answer that question. I can't answer it. From my own point of view, I described it at the time as madness.'

He continued to list the other senior members of the party who agreed to vote him out.

'It really never occurred to me that senior members of the government, particularly people with such solemn responsibilities — you know, Peter Dutton's the Home Affairs Minister, responsible for Australia's national security, for heaven's sake,' he said.

'It never occurred to me that those people would act in a way that was going to be so damaging both to the government, to the party and, frankly, to the nation.'

Mr Jones then asked him if he was shocked by the sudden ousting.

'No, I did not anticipate that people, particularly cabinet ministers, would act so self-destructively,' he told the audience.

'It was so obvious that it was going to be destructive. It was so obvious that there was not going to be any upside to it.'

When asked why he thought the people who orchestrated the coup challenged him, Mr Turnbull (pictured) replied by saying the question would be better answered by them

The deposed leader did offer one wry explanation for why the coup may have been launched.

He said: 'Maybe they were worried we'd win the election. Maybe they were not worried we'd lose it - maybe they were worried we'd win it'.

Mr Turnbull was then asked to explain what role Prime Minister Scott Morrison played in his downfall, to which he said he takes the PM at his word that he didn't plan it.

'The insurgency was led by Peter Dutton, was obviously strongly supported by Tony Abbott and others,' he said.

He said the nine people he listed 'blew up the government'.

The ex-PM said it really never occurred to him senior members of the government - particularly people with such solemn responsibilities could do such a thing.

The conversation then switched to the role the media played in his downfall.

Mr Turnbull said he had complained about News Corp's coverage of his government to owner Rupert Murdoch, who said the company wasn't campaigning against him.

'The point that I made to him, and to others in News Limited, is that this sort of relentless campaign against me, which was very personal and didn't seem to have any rationale in terms of policy,' he says.

He concluded by saying Kerry Stokes told him Mr Murdoch said he wanted a change of leader and was prepared to endure a Bill Shorten government.
