Take two, it's probably actually going to happen now... I think that little Pacific Islands joke with Mr Dutton was the final nail in the coffin...

I bet you the sound technician with the boom got a massive pay rise after that controversial conference.

Cabinet sources say Turnbull has numbers...thanks to worried marginal seat holders, including from the Right.

Julie Bishop is backing Turnbull.


Abbott is stuffed. Turnbull wouldn't be doing this if he wasn't confident of the numbers.

Game over, turnbull will win guaranteed, those in marginal seats can't afford to lose their seat next election and need that sweet parliamentary pension $$$.

Interesting to see how this will affect the election. While I see it swinging a lot of moderates towards the liberal parrty, I don't see any of the further right wing individuals switching parties, as there's no viable right alternative, they all end up preferencing liberal one way or the other. Ultimately though, if Labor lose the next election, with or without turnbull, the fault will rest firmly on their shoulders. They have continually failed to outline their platform to the Australian people and have been an incredibly feeble opposition party. They're caught in a middle ground whereby they can't outline their own policies but are unwilling to object to the policies of the opposition in fear that they won't be able to win over every member of the population.

Can't stomach to vote for either party next year. Might end up voting Greens, I really like the look of Richard Di Natale.

Big question is what Scott Morrison does.

He could back Turnbull (He'd almost be guaranteed to be Treasurer) or challenge himself. Could provide a formidable challenge to Turnbull as most of the right of the party can't stomach a Turnbull leadership.

I don't fancy Morrison's chances; if he were to challenge he'd split the right faction votes between Abbott and himself, which would probably put Turnbull in an even stronger position.

I'd say he's better off backing Turnbull.

Sky News reporting Abbott has asked Treasurer Joe Hockey to step aside

Bit late hey.

Ballot will be held tonight for Leader and Deputy.

Abbott will stand.

I don't know what I will vote for next year.
Both parties seem like a joke tbh.
