Phil Collins is trending on twitter in Australia. It's a bold move by him, but wouldn't he have a issue with citizenship?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Well the next PM is probably disqualified so Collins is just as legally valid.

Preemptive thanks to ABC for making ABC News livestream available worldwide.

Curious: if Turnbull just refuses to call the meeting at all, is there a mechanism to meet without him?

If Dutton actually does have the numbers this is a bad day. I just want him destabilising things, not actually becoming our new Potato Minister.

It'd be pretty hilarious if Trumball and a few other libs split from the LNP and created a coalition with Labor for the remainder of this term, thereby removing the Libs from power and denying Dutton his chance to be PM. I don't even know if that's possible but it seems like a logical extension of the farce that our parliament has become.

We only need one liberal to get pissed off and resign to drop the whole lot in the trash, so Dutton getting up may not be the end of this.

My boss doesn't give a gently caress, he finds politics as funny as I do.

He was so certain it had already happened I was a bit thrown, because it hadn't hit the rumor mill by then.

There there, it won't be long before he's removed from the Parliament, meaning we get to go through all this again before too long.

ewe2's talked about it with regards to the Canberra Press Gallery but there's seriously a giant bubble in parliament. These people have no idea what the people on the street like, they only care about what the media and polls tell them

What's Labors motivation to join such a Coalition rather than pushing for an election?

A Nats MP had already said he’ll move to the crossbench if the leadership changes

Whether he’ll follow up on that threat? Who knows

Also note they have the support of some of the crossbenchers so it won’t immediately be curtains if someone defects, they could theoretically manage a minority government
