of the party to go ahead and have a vote for a new leader peter dutton produced that petition so when the vote was actually held malcolm turnbull stepped aside he wasn't a candidate in the ultimate leadership vote that was held between three people peter dutton the former foreign minister julie bishop and the man who surprisingly emerged victorious scott morrison he had been treasurer under the prime minister malcolm turnbull and had until this point been standing behind turnbull to remain in that position but because he stood aside when he was faced with another challenge by peter dutton this time around scott morrison decided to run and won the as you say malcolm turnbull had been fighting hard to keep his position as prime minister but in the end the polity deserted him so take a spot on what triggered all this. well it really is a result of infighting within the ruling liberal party those in the more conservative faction like peter dutton had wanted to see a change but what many will be asking here in australia is so what has this all achieved because in the past there might have been a specific policy issue that people cou

malcolm turnbull doesn't probably wants peter dutton, the man who has already challenged him wants toalternate candidate. by the minute we've seen resignations from cabinet ministers who have told malcolm turnbull he no longer have their support. so malcolm turnbull will probably not... well, he won't end this month, maybe not even today as prime minister. it might take a few months to work out who the successof few months to work out who the successor is and if there is to be a formal race to the leadership and a vote involving peter dutton. how are the australian public feeling, hywel, about the various leadership challenges, they've had a lot of prime ministers recently?” challenges, they've had a lot of prime ministers recently? i think the aussie voters are just as boom yea rs the aussie voters are just as boom years as the rest of the world as to how their politicians behave. if we have a new prime minister pretty soon they will be the sixth within a decade, equalling the turnover rate of somewhere like italy which is famous for the spin cycle of politicians. i think some people

including the man who's challenged him, peter dutton, they don't want to see tariffs on carbon emissions, they don't want the same tax reform as malcolm turnbullon issues such as immigration. peter dutton, until he was forced to resign this week, was the immigration minister who was very clear about not wanting to accept people into australia unless they are invited. so those are the issues at play. arguably they are not the issues that govern day—to—day life in australia and i think that's where we see this big disconnect. remember, australia, many parts of australia, are in the grip of a terrible drought. farmers desperate for rain and desperate for support, and yet here we have a government effectively now in limbo because they can't decide who they want as prime minister. hywel griffith there. we will hear more from hywel as things develop but this coming in from reuters, we're hearing the australian government has moved to adjourn parliament on thursday, allowing the ruling liberal party to hold a second leadership vote for prime minister. as we were saying, it looks like malcolm turnbull is manoeuvring within the party to arrange treasur

it's called here and the three candidates that put their hand up included peter dutton who was the first to challenge malcolm turnbull as well as the foreign minister julie bishop but the man who emerged victorious is the treasurer or scott morrison and chafee as you say peter dutton was seen as the main challenger early this week to malcolm turnbull but that's all changed because scott morrison has taken the crown so wants change since then. well this has all really been wrought about by general infighting within the ruling liberal party of peter dutton represents more of the conservative side of politics with in the liberal party and indeed scott morrison is generally seen as being more conservative than malcolm turnbull but as i say he was continuing to vaca malcolm turnbull as remaining in that leadership position and you can see from that close vote as to whether or not to have a vote at all the party remains very divided australians don't like to see these sorts of leadership challenges they prefer to have a stable government that can get on with the business of governing and the politicians know that and they

malcolm turnbull won strongly earlier in the week against peter dutton.ay, 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 the labour party the next election. rishaad: surely, we have a situation where you have a divided liberal party. can it unify? rubbing hisl is hands with glee. rob: that's right. this is great news for the liberal -- the labour party. going up against -- this is death to any major party within an election. we've seen that around the world. the labor bank -- labour party will be very happy with this. they have to be careful about how much glee they can extract from this. memories are not that long in australia, where the labour party went through its own existential crisis. there have also been rumblings, even within recent months, about bill's leadership, possibly challenged again. so, the labour party will bequeathed -- be pleased. extent toly a certain which they can play that card. they must set down their own agenda and commit to the electo

malcolm turnbull said if you do have those numbers present me with a petition showing that the majority of the ruling liberal party does want to have another vote for the leadership position peter dutton did present that petition but when it came to the vote malcolm turnbull this time stood aside and it became a contest between three people and it was the treasurer scott morrison who ok cathy let me just let me just interrupt you there briefly because the outgoing prime minister malcolm turnbull that is just speaking to the media let's just listen to what he had to receive government as a progressive liberal call this a progressive liberal coalition government enormous reforms and very very substantial achievements you know the foundation of everything you do in government is the strong economy and we have delivered as repro most jobs and growth i've heard that before i got record jobs growth in australia last year we have strong economic growth three point one percent as you know than any of the g seven economies and that is unable to do so much more despite the minority position in the senate than the one st's one seat majority in the house of representatives we've been able to deli

peter dutton. but since then support has been sent through. this is malcolm turnbullt. this looks like australia heading for a six prime minister in a decade. it does at a real mess. i imagine the general public are getting very tired of this situation. australia is well used to culling is prime ministers. you have to wonder what voters in australia and the rest of the world really make of this. you have a country which is at the moment suffering drought in large swathes of it, farmers desperate for support and relief. people at asking for education and tax reform. but none of that will happen the next 48 hours. if nothing happens tomorrow, probably nothing will happen in two weeks. there is a recess. if this doesn't happen tomorrow, it is something that they might have to do again in two weeks. in carries on successfully. it has not been recession for over a quarter of a century. some could argue that they are focusing on infighting because they don't have big battles to deal with. thank you forjoining us hywel griffith, outside parliament in canberra. let's brief yo

malcolm turnbull in september twenty fifteen where peter hartcher is political editor of the sydney morning herald he says malcolm turnbull's eager to highlight the legal problems that peter dutton may face before he could ever become prime minister. well he surrendering really to what he has called an internal peace a rickshaw in designed to try to bully the government further to the right he said that in the event that the dissidents can get a majority of. signatures on a petition to hold a special party meeting that he would call that meeting and that would be tomorrow and at that meeting he would contest the leadership against challenges we've heard from constitutional scholars that the case is a borderline case that it would need to be resolved by the high court which is the highest court in the land and in that case for that to happen it would need to be referred to the high court or the mechanism to doing that is it needs to be referred by the parliament effectively the government itself would have to refer to one of its own members peter dutton the challenger for the leadership to the high court for a decision a process which will probably take weeks and maybe even longe

challenge on their hands and we understand that the challenges at the moment would be peter dutton, who challenged mr turnbullcott morrison and the foreign ministerjulie bishop. these are unprecedented times in australian politics and safe to say the situation in the nation's capital can best be described as rather chaotic. and this is the sixth prime minister in a decade? people are not happy about that. and theissue people are not happy about that. and the issue around mr dutton has been resolved? yes. his family own a trust that has interests in child—care centres trust that has interests in child—ca re centres and trust that has interests in child—care centres and receives subsidies from the state. now there was? over whether that would deem at mr dutton to be ineligible because a public, someone upholding a public office cannot benefit financially from the state. at the advice from the chief lawyer for the government is that mr dutton appears to be in the clear. that allows him to contest the clear. that allows him to co ntest a ny the clear. that allows him to contest any leadership ballot. the contende

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 continuity in other side from policy i think the real challenge for scott morrison will be uniting this fracture of the liberal party and also convincing the australian voters to reelect this government in less than a year or straightly and really don't like seeing these all too common changes at the top job to give you some context my brother is thirty one and he has never voted in an election where the prime minister has seen through the full term on the other end of the spectrum there are five year olds in this country who have lived through five prime ministers so now scott morrison will have

surprising in so far as that he wasn't the challenger as you say we heard malcolm turnbull there refer to him mr dutton that's peter dutton who is from the more conservative side of the right wing ruling liberal party here in australia malcolm turnbull is considered a more moderate no 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 and kathy markham to him but as you say has been fighting hard to keep his position as prime minister in the end the last party's support and what triggered all of this in the first place. it seeme

scott morrison has got thejob, the treasurer, who is an ally of turnbull despite the fact that the likes of peter dutton of all of these did not get thejob. instigator of all of these did not get the job. scott morrison represents continuity here. he was an ally 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 comin
