Liberal leadership declared vacant.

"It brought down a prime minister, destabilised the government, damaged the standing of the ruling party, unsettled the country, and made Australian democracy an even bigger laughing stock. Without satisfying the disgruntled faction that started it all."

Also, more prosaically, it looks like they need to add "Counting Beyond 20 Without Using Other People's Fingers and Toes" to the Police Academy syllabus.

Hence, no doubt, the unkind references to "heartless, cruel and not very bright" (see David Marr's description in https://www.theguardian.com/australia-n ... ous-defeat )

The non-ultra Liberals should let the ultras go and join the other freaks like Bernadi or Hanson. It may hurt a bit in the short term but I reckon it would be a benefit long term as the party would be more united and far more electable once the hard core element had gone.

Agree. The Liberal party formed by Menzies was centre right and actually had some progressive elements albeit slow at times.

These people who want to drag the party further right should far coff and join Corey Bernadi or one nation

^^Stui, they will destroy the Liberal Party and they won't recover as they will be always split. I agree they should join Corey. Sco Mo as PM and Dutton coming nowhere is just a perfect finish.

I can't see Dutton and Abbott giving up, 45 - 40 is enough to give them hope

And a slimmer margin that the original vote for Turnbull vs Dutton, which caused them to go again 24 hours later.

Ridiculous.

At the end of the day we have a religious right wing nutter as PM (friggin' Hillsong Pentacostalists) who are in effect anti gay marriage, think that coal makes good compost and are wedded to dog whistling racism if not the latter fir base political purposes. The fact that Morrison is not Dutton is neither here nor there.

Bunch of extremist right wingers. Morrison still does not agree with a Banking Royal Commission. Just marginally less of a turd than the Mad Mysogynist Monk and the undertaker. Let's hope that Turnbull does the right thing for Australia and retires in the next few days.

I read that Turnbull is officially leaving next week, but time will tell what happens.

Good riddance to this useless PM. That's karma for knifing a sitting PM in 2015.

Who knifed him when he was leader of the party earlier.

Turnbull knifed Nelson in 2008, and also knifed Peter King to gain pre-selection for the Libs in the seat of Wentworth in 2003.

Turnbull is a hypocrite and I couldn't stop laughing when he whined about "insurgents".
