It’s getting even more ridiculous. Five frontbenchers just quit (although Turnbull has yet to accept their resignations)
Sounds like a bad situation getting worse.
Probably more I'm missing, but I'm struggling to see the logic from that article of a (presumably conservative) front-bencher resigning and saying "Our conservative base strongly feel that their voice has been eroded. They needed some demonstrable indication that there are conservative voices around your cabinet table."
How exactly is Turnbull meant to appoint conservative voices to his cabinet if conservatives all resign?
I was also amused when the Guardian asked someone in Dutton's seat about the leadership challenge and got this response: "Oh, is he the member here? That’s probably really bad of me, I didn’t know. I know a lot of people don’t like him, so that’s probably a good thing he’s not prime minister then."
