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

Meanwhile, in the Senate, Labor almost used on the confusion and chaos to kill off the Coalition’s plans to expand its controversial cashless welfare card expansion. The government’s leader in the Senate, Mathias Cormann, just resigned so there was effectively no one in charge.

Labor tested the government’s numbers on the floor of the upper house, and almost won. They tried to bring on an early vote on the bill, but lost the vote 31-33. Had they won, they could have had a second immediate vote to kill off the legislation.

Per Guardian:

Labor are being rather sneaky n the lower house, too. They’re trying to refer Peter Dutton to the high court over his eligibility woes. The Coalition is in disarray, and the numbers are tight.

A division is being called.

In a shocking twist Julie Bishop is the next PM because they want Turnbull gone but Dutton is off to the high Court and she Jim Hacker's her way in.

I can't be entirely sure that he hasn't wrapped a bird up in a slice of bread to insulate it and is in the midst of feeding it.

Most of the reasons it's probably not the case is because that'd be an act of compassion.

I've been saying it for ages. She doesn't have the support of the right of the party but if they see the election as a lost cause and just want to try and stem the losses as much as possible then Bishop could seem like a good temporary choice. Assuming she takes it on (as she might see it as the last chance to do so) then a Lib election win isn't entirely impossible because the media will puff her up as the nice face of the party.

It is also that according to Newspolls she's the most popular leader behind only the guy they are knoifing. She's presentable to a bulk of Howard Battlers which is more than can be said about Dutton whose only presenting is his head resembling a foetus crowning.
