so scott morrison australia's new prime minister any surprises there peter. well what this constitutes is that nothing nothing has been settled within the liberal party this began this instability and this challenge to the prominent they are going for the former prime minister is not going to move again as an uprising by the conservative faction of the party to remove turnbull who was considered to be a moderate not a genuine part of the party and had to be expelled but in his place the liberal party has now elected by a reasonably now imagine. a man who is not considered to be part of the conservative core is a man who has been threatened with dire repercussions from the conservative faction and his followers who collected him have also been confronted with dire. threats of a tradition from the conservative group which as we saw today had forty. out of eighty five sides so not a majority but enough to continue the eternal insurrection that has plagued this government brought down this prime minister stabilize the national government has made the public unset

just tell us more about scott morrison, the new prime minister.nce upon a time, scott morrison was an immigration minister, more recently he has held the very important treasurer portfolio in the centre—right government of the outgoing prime minister malcolm turnbull. scott morrison has been a keen and loyal supporter of the outgoing pm, so what we expect is this victory of scott morrison will be seen as a victory for the more moderate part of the centre—right coalition, given that his challenger, peter dutton, was the candidate that the conservatives wanted to challenge for the leadership. sorry to interrupt you. we want to come back to you in a moment. first, malcolm turnbull is addressing the press. you know the foundation of everything you do in government is a strong economy and we have delivered, as we promised, jobs and growth — you may have heard that before. we've got record jobs growth in australia last year, we have strong economic growth, i%, as you know, higher than any of the g7 economies. that has enabled us to do so economies. that

scott morrison represents continuity here.of malcolm turnbull and so peter dutton‘s bid to swing the government to the right has clearly failed. i think that is an important distinction and what is interesting, actually, julie bishop, the deputy prime minister, the previous deputy prime minister, the previous deputy prime minister, the previous deputy prime minister was expected to do better than she did. that has caused quite a surprise. he did in his speech praised julie bishop a lot and talked about her loyalty and commitment to politics in australia. she has been a very popular leader. she has been a very popular leader. she is foreign minister but former deputy prime minister but she did not get thejob, deputy prime minister but she did not get the job, despite her efforts and many people would say she would be the most popular candidate for the general election, there is one coming up in the middle of next year and could come even earlier because of all this wrangling. it is unlikely we will get to the middle of next yea

as is scott morrison. scott morrison as immigration minister was a hardline minister.emake the australian economy. scott morrison will also be quite a polarizing figure. i think there will be a lot of soul-searching within both the liberal party and liberal party supporters and the wider electorate, making judgments about whether they think the now prime minister and what his vision will be for the country. haidi: the party room vote was 45-40. is that surprising the close? -- surprisingly cloes? -- close? will this let them get out of policy paralysis? they may be scrambled to find their feet over the next decade. rob: i can't say about the next decade. i think it is only three more prime ministers until christmas. a lot of turbulence coming through. i think the main thing to say is that this doesn't draw a line under it. malcolm turnbull won strongly earlier in the week against peter dutton. these divisions have not gone away, so there is no clear winner. morrison's scott ability will be to appease the different factions and convince them that they want to take on th

he's won the leadership race talk us through what happened and what we know about scott morrison. well this was quite a surprising result we've seen leadership challenges for the position of prime minister here in australia in the past but what usually happens is that there is a challenge from one person there's a meeting and a vote held and of the prime minister in the past has been toppled by the person who challenged him or her well in this case this started earlier in the week with another man peter dutton who had challenge malcolm turnbull for a leadership vote and in that case on tuesday lost but because of that vote in the margin was not strong enough for malcolm turnbull to really solidify his position what we started seeing was a number of malcolm turnbull's ministers resigning and it was quite clear that his leadership really still was in tatters so peter dutton came back saying this time he thought he did have the numbers if they went back for a leadership vote malcolm turnbull demanded that peter dutton present him with a petition showing that he had the support of the

compared to malcolm turnbull scott morrison would be considered more conservative but throughout this leadership crisis morrison had been standing behind malcolm turnbull his treasurer and he had previously that mars and that is served as immigration minister and you could see that malcolm turnbull was pleased that if he was to lose his job that the person who would be stepping in would be scott morrison so i think those who were backing the challenge from peter dutton would be disappointed today and there really was a split within that party room meeting with forty five supporting scott morrison by the forty voting in favor of peter dutton a saudi led coalition air strike in yemen has killed at least twenty six civilians mostly children who the media says they were killed at a camp for internally displaced people in the province of her data the u.a.e. says rebels are launching missiles from the area whole tradition reports. civilians once again have been the targets of saudi led coalition jets in yemen. iranian backed rebels say at least thirty one people including women and children

s the country's treasurer scott morrison has been chosen as his successor comes after a tumultuous few days in australian politics turnbull survived a vote on his leadership as recently as tuesday he's the fourth prime minister to be pushed out of office since twenty ten it was a ballot conducted in the party room for the leadership of the liberal party the successful candidate was scott morrison. and he won this fight by forty five votes to forty four peter dutton. welcome on this let's cross live to kathy novak in sydney kathy says scott morrison is now australia's new prime minister how much of a surprise was it that he won the leadership race somewhat more do we know about him . well on one hand it has become not on common to see changes of leadership and prime ministers losing their jobs after votes by their own party but on the other hand it was a surprise in so far as the treasurer scott morrison was not the man who initially challenge malcolm turnbull for the job of prime minister earlier in the week as you mentioned there had been another leadership vote and it was another one

scott morrison tried to do his best to. inspire the of the nation and his press conference earlier on today he delivered a rallying call to the middle australia asking for people to have a good one of the dignity of work and to build a stronger australia although exactly how he intends to i'm not quite sure and i'm sure what a mad can turn will have to say about these developments this week it's been of a difficult political week for him. or it's been a terrible week that he lost his job was to hard and things went from bad to worse from monday almost he'd try to hang on but in the end today he had to give in to a leadership ballot and he said it wouldn't take part of the ballot leaving the contest open to three other people including scott morrison peter dunne who was his main rival and julie bishop who's the other foreign minister here he was clearly very very hurt by what could have been done to him really through this leadership ballot and he couldn't resist delivering a parting shot to those who don't undermine him ove

morrison is a social conservative who is known for his tough stance on immigration. from canberra, hywel griffith reports. hywel: meet australia's latest prime minister, the fifth in eight years. scott morrison is known as scomo to his friends, allies he will need as he seeks to rebuild the governing party which has torn itself to shreds and lost the trust of the australian public. prime min. morrison: there's been a lot of talk this week about whose side people are on in this building. we are on your side, that is what matters. hywel: australia has a new prime minister, but scott morrison faces a huge dual challenge not just healing the wounds of his warring party, but seeking the forgiveness of the australian public, who watched the events of the last week with exasperation and anger. they won't have been impressed with what they have seen. a few days ago scott morrison was standing shoulder to shoulder with his predecessor malcolm turnbull, pledging loyalty. >> this is my leader. i am ambitious for him. >> good on you. hywel: but bitter feuds within this building

morrison.nd that fast spin cycle of canberra politics and put the attention elsewhere, so he is actually going to be travelling to western queensland, one of the worst hit drought areas, and talking about getting on with the job, about giving farmers relief, getting through this particularly tough time. it's midwinter, a time when the rains should be coming, helping farmers grow their crops and feed their animals, but they are in severe problems. of course the government is in severe problems as well, so he ratherfocus on government is in severe problems as well, so he rather focus on other people's issues, maybe, particularly when we seen a poll published in the last 2a hours suggesting the ruling coalition that scott morrison is now in charge of has slipped even further back behind their opponents, labour. there's a 12 point gap that they need to close before any election is called between now and next may. we know that australians are showing their disgust at this — as you say, their disgust

scott morrison obviously wa nts to election?ove away from that, refocus and so he is addressing national issues and that is why he is spending much of the day in western queensland, one of the worst hit areas. queensland has had years of drought in some areas. he once be seen to be getting on with the job, getting his hands dirty in the dusty central part of australia rather than getting his hands even do that in the murky world of canberra. australians do not seem terribly happy. we have seen also be resignation of a popular minister, julie bishop. julie bishop's position is interesting. the poll suggested she was by far the most popular of the candidates with the australian public but she finished third out of three and some messages lea ked third out of three and some messages leaked over the weekend that purport to be from different ministers, suggest actually they were using her asa suggest actually they were using her as a way to try to eliminate one of the others so perhaps she is sort of fed up with the murky business of

mr morrison says he will make the drought his priority. phil mercer is in sydney.n absolutely to mulch is weak. what do people make of scott morrison and his promise with regard to the drought as his top priority. first of all, ask yourself if australians are actually paying attention to the words coming out of the politicians mouth, i get the impression most australians are sick and tired of the shenanigans down in canberra, it has been described as one of the most destructive weeks of party infighting in recent australian political history, and trying to rise above it all is the new man in charge, scott morrison, due to be sworn in in the next half hour. at a press conference he was giving the impression that it is back to business, the government will make the drought in eastern australia a priority, and along with his new deputy, he wanted to give the impression that they were the new generation that would take the government forward, and scott morrison's task is absolutely immense, he has thejob morrison's task is absolutely immense, he has the job of trying t

scott morrison fazes the huge dual challenge, not just healing the woods and this party, but seekingperation and angen week's events with exasperation and anger. they will not be impressed with what they have seen. just a few days, scott morrison was standing shoulder to shoulder with this predecessor, malcolm turnbull, pledging loyalty. as my leader and i am ambitious to him. good on you, thank you, scomo. but the diffuse it is building over climate change and immigration meant that malcolm turnbull had lost control. he blamed us on turnbull had lost control. he blamed us on the right for wrecking is rain. australia is will be dumbstruck and so appalled by the conduct of the last week. you know, to imagine that a government would be rocked by this sort of disloyalty and deliberate insurgency is the best way to describe it. but how much goodwill is left in the voters? many having a drink after work in canberra were pretty unimpressed. many having a drink after work in canberra were pretty unimpressedlj am canberra were pretty unimpressed.” am confused, ok? it is one leader one day, a

vote on tuesday another one was called here today but instead it was the former treasurer scott morrison who ended up emerging as the victor and he is seen as more conservative then malcolm turnbull but still not the man that the conservatives had back in this vote elizabeth and so one of the scott morrison with the new leadership the more white swing the liberals are now in power what are you saying that means cathy for australian policy on key issues like energy like immigration. well that remains to be seen because coming to this vote scott morrison really had been on malcolm turnbull's side he had been backing malcolm turnbull to remain in his position as prime minister when peter dutton first mounted the challenge so there is an argument that now that maurice than has come out on top that perhaps there will be some of the same that we saw under malcolm turnbull well when he spoke in his first news conference he talked about some areas for example addressing the drought keeping australia's economy strong and he said that there would be an change in areas where it's needed but continu
