"Absolutely," she said.
Mrs Mirabella said Mr Turnbull had provided the "stability and confidence" people wanted in the government since taking over from her close political ally, Tony Abbott.
“Most people I speak to when door knocking look back on the Howard years as providing that stability," she said.
“Malcolm is filling the shoes of being the 21st century version of that stable, visionary leader.
“(Tony) is a good person and we worked closely together over many years.
“Of course I felt for him when he lost the leadership.
“But I’ve got a very good relationship with Malcolm, he first appointed me to the front bench and we worked quite well in opposition and since the election he has stayed in contact."
Mrs Mirabella said she had no inside knowledge on when Mr Turnbull would call the election.
