He wants the petition and advice from the solicitor general on Dutton's eligibility, if he gets both those things then it's go.

What happens if the Sol Gen says Dutton needs to be referred to the high court?

You seriously think there's a prospect Stephen will say anything else?

If there's any doubt, I think he needs to.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Rupert Murdoch is in town when all this has happened and that Bolt and McCrann at the Herald Sun have both unloaded on Turnbull from a great height and said Abbott should be the man.

The Labor no confidence motion in the senate has been defeated. Apparently Dutton only has 37 signatures on his petition that they started circulating yesterday, needs 6 more.

Sportsbet is paying $6 on Dutton's eligibility being denied by the Sol Gen and $1.10 that it's confirmed.

For the leadership, Dutton is $2, Bishop $2.10 and Morrison $4

May as well put GetUp stooge, Christopher Pyne in the running to finish the party off once and for all.

Surprised Abbott doesn't want to take a crack at making a comeback. Even he must realise he's a laughing stock now!
