The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Steve Price: Malcolm Turnbull's political future in tatters


Listen Later

Malcolm Turnbull is still Australia's prime minister, but it won't be for long.
The Liberal Party leader is fending off a challenge from former Immigration Minister Peter Dutton.
He's also refusing to accept offers of resignation from ministers who voted against him.
But Australian correspondent Steve Price told Mike Hosking Turnbull's time is almost up.
"It may happen tomorrow, he may last a week, he won't last a month, he certainly won't go to the next election."
Price says Turnbull has had to refuse resignation offers from cabinet ministers who voted against him.
"The party has just lost complete confidence. When you've got 35 of your own MPs sitting behind you in parliament, you know you've got a big problem."
Dutton's expected to rally another leadership challenge from the back bench.
