Well, it’s on. The vote for the leadership of the Liberal Party will happen at 12pm, with at least three challengers shooting for the throne: Peter Dutton, Scott Morrison and Julie Bishop. In line with what he promised yesterday, he is going to resign from Parliament immediately when the ballot is held.
Sky News has the scoop on that, if you can call it a scoop considering Turnbull basically said it.
