BREAKING: Peter Dutton To Challenge Malcolm Turnbull Again
After failing to oust PM Malcolm Turnbull only days ago, Peter Dutton has tweeted that he plans to contest the leadership yet again.
A few minutes ago I spoke with Malcolm Turnbull to advise him I believed the majority of the party room no longer supported his leadership. Accordingly, I asked him to convene a party room meeting at which I would challenge for the leadership of the Parliamentary Liberal Party.

Mr Dutton's supporters circulated a letter on Wednesday night calling for the party room to meet.
