Justis, you are at risk of under-estimating the challenges Malcolm Turnbull would face; not least of which is working with a party infested by so many reactionary and embittered MPs who have never demonstrated any loyalty to him.
If Abbott falls to a challenge from Turnbull, the latter will have to establish a totally new Cabinet and get it functioning properly prior to the next Budget - as to what it's mission might be, only time will tell!
