ANALYSIS & OPINION

  1. New Malcolm

    If the motion to spill the leadership of the Liberal Party leadership succeeds, the main prospect as a challenger is and has always been Malcolm Turnbull, who has transformed himself to a milder, more patient and less pushy political figure.
    By Annabel Crabb

  2. Survival time

    That the Liberal Party has come to this, after less than 17 months in government, is remarkable enough. That it could revisit 2009 and vote again on Turnbull vs Abbott is even more remarkable.
    By Malcolm Farnsworth

  3. Line under the madness

    Liberal Party MPs have to make a simple judgment - is Tony Abbott right or wrong when he says changing leaders will make their bad situation even worse? And if he's not the best leader, then who is?
    By Barrie Cassidy

  4. Conservative rule

    Liberals aren't after the next Thatcher, Reagan or Howard, they just want someone to turn the polls around. Still, if Turnbull ousts Abbott he should remember he's leading a centre-right party.
    By Tom Switzer
