This is the one.  Scott Morrison has reportedly declined to contest which almost certainly means Turnbull has the numbers with Bishop's backing.

Jeff Kennet has been putting out some pretty hilarious tweets.

Abbott to speak in a few minutes.  The ABC is saying there are rumors that Turnbull has support in the "low fifties" which is just over the mark.

Wyatt Roy has declared he's behind Turnbull.

Not at all surprising given he helped with the spill attempt in February.

Bishop went to Abbott an hour before Question Time today and told him he had lost her confidence and much of the ministry's; Turnbull of course went just after QT.

Recent commentary was saying how this was a good move by Bishop to show her independence from Turnbull.

Just saw a report that Abbott has asked Hockey to step aside.  Not confirmed, of course.

The SMH is now reporting that Morrison is backing Turnbull.  Are they behind, or was there bad reporting earlier?
