Scott Morrison will become the 30th prime minister of Australia after trouncing Peter Dutton and Julie Bishop in a three-way race for the Liberal leadership.
"ScoMo" - who has served as treasurer since 2015 - won the final showdown with Mr Dutton 45 votes to 40. The earlier motion to dump Mr Turnbull was also carried 45 - 40.
Energy minister Josh Frydenberg was elected deputy leader in an “absolute majority”, according to the government’s chief whip Nola Marino.
