Peter Dutton is the main challenger but there had been a cloud over his eligibility for parliament
Background here: Australia politics - potential government leader may be removed from parliament
Advice on Dutton was part one (of two) conditions the Prime Minster Trunbull set yesterday
One down, one to go (the other condition is also here)
'Not incapable' is hardly a ringing endorsement but for Dutto I guess it'll have t do.
ps.
If the leadership challenge does go ahead the 3 contenders are;
- Peter Dutton
- Scott Morrison (was the Treasurer)
- Julie Bishop (Foreign Minister)
Julie Bishop would be the logical choice for the party room. A long-term proven performer and popular in the electorate. One to watch.
