Dutton calls it on
Thursday, 23 August 2018
A few minutes ago I spoke with Malcolm Turnbull to advise him I believed the majority of the party room no longer supported his leadership. Accordingly, I asked him to convene a party room meeting at which I would challenge for the leadership of the Parliamentary Liberal Party.

As at 0900 Turnbull - of course - has refused Peter Dutton's request for a party room meeting.
Please God this doesn't play out on the floor of the House.
