Peter Dutton is very hungry for the job. He has been canvassing back benchers. Philip
Turnbull has been on the phone all day pleading with MPs that he can change the polls. Dutton is gaining support and wants the job.
Such hypocrisy!
PRIME Minister Malcolm Turnbull has personally approved almost $1 million in pay top-ups for senior staff, including those who work for him, boosting some staffer salaries above the pay of a backbencher. Mr Turnbull has used a special power in the Members of Parliament (Staff) Act 1984 to hand an average of $28,000 each to the 30 staffers, leaving taxpayers to foot an $840,000 bill.
The Prime Minister has exercised his power under MOPS, the Members of Parliament (Staff) Act, to grant up to 30 ministerial staff higher pay than under the enterprise agreement.
It puts the staffers above the range in their band, at a time when Australians are struggling with the lowest wage growth on record and facing significant cost-of-living pressures.
“If staff are paid above the band than the Government needs to go above and beyond to be transparent about it,’’ Mr Xenophon said. “If we are talking about salaries that are more than an elected Member of Parliament, then it should be transparent.”
But Mr Turnbull’s office and his Government, which is demanding the ABC disclose the salary of its highly-paid reporters, are refusing to identify the staff members and how much extra they are being paid.
Mr Turnbull’s former chief-of-staff Drew Clarke was paid almost $700,000, well above the principal adviser band 10 which pays $254,000 and more than Mr Turnbull. A backbencher earns about $205,000.
Mr Turnbull has 52 staff, including three principal advisers and 21 senior advisers, who are paid between $127,000 and $195,000.

WTF
I'd like to see this in the murduck press day after day, just like they would if it's the labor party. I'm not holding my breath, worst government of all time even makes Abbott look better, who would've thought.

Seen him with Birmingham , the vic opp leader and was in Tassie in the last 7 days , wanting none of it.
Phone calls might be getting done but nothing wont happen until Turnbull gets back from his overseas trip. Might even head off to Harrys wedding earlyPhilip's and Friends' Political Analysis & Satire The spill is underway, the media know but are refusing to run any anti Liberal stories. Philip

Sounds kinda stupid that the media would ignore getting easy website hits.
That i can't answer.
Only as far as the Caymans....Would be interesting if the "we don't sack sitting PM's, we're not Labor" end up sacking Turnbull whilst he is overseas.
Would he be allowed to fly back on airforce1 if he loses the PM'ship whilst overseas?
Surely Duttons failed the exam the last month or so ?
