Murdoch decided Turnbull should be replaced by Dutton. (Very like Trump)
But........(from The Guardian)........
13:21
Lets put some context around what weve just learned. Its shocking, really.Malcolm Turnbull has effectively just booby-trapped the prime ministers office for Dutton. Turnbull has shown some fight. Ive never given in to bullies, he says.
And indeed he is not.
Heres why: Turnbull has suggested he will walk from parliament if he loses the leadership.
That would trigger a byelection. A byelection could rob Peter Dutton of the ability to command a majority in parliament.
At the same time, hes put serious doubt on Duttons ability to lead a stable government or sit as an eligible parliamentarian.
Truly remarkable.
