Malcolm Turnbull urges Angus Taylor to step down from the shadow cabinet and challenge Sussan Ley for the Liberal Party leadership, amid growing rumors of a leadership spill. Despite the Coalition's recent reunion, speculation persists that a spill could occur within the next three days. The Liberals held a partyroom meeting, but due to the absence of senators, no spill was called. Turnbull, who resigned from the frontbench in 2015 to challenge Tony Abbott, believes Taylor should take a similar stand. He emphasizes the importance of public voting and encourages Taylor to declare his leadership aspirations. The latest Newspoll reveals a decline in the Coalition's primary vote to 18%, trailing behind Labor at 33% and One Nation at 27%. The Liberal primary vote stands at a mere 15%. Turnbull acknowledges the party's dire situation, expressing sympathy for his former colleagues while highlighting the existential crisis the Liberal Party faces. He urges them to confront the challenges ahead, as the polls indicate a dire state for the party.
