The rule that the prime minister can only be removed if 75 per cent of MPs agree to force a ballot (or 60 per cent of caucus for an opposition leader) is a caucus-approved rule and is not included in the 2018 National Platform.
The 2018 ALPNational Platformsets out the current rules for electing a party leader:
Following the defeat of the ALP at the 18 May 2019 election Bill Shortenannounced he was standing downas leader. The process forfilling the positionwas initiated by the ALP National Executive. Nominations for the position of leader opened on 23 May 2019 and closed on 27 May 2019. A candidate requires 20 per cent support of the caucus to nominate. If there is only one nomination, no ballot will occur. If there are two or more nominations, then there is a ballot of both the parliamentary party and grassroots members. A postal vote of members was to take place from 31 May to 27 June.
On 19 May Anthony Albanesenominatedfor the position of leader. Other contenders,Tanya Plibersek(Sydney, NSW),Chris Bowen(McMahon, NSW)andJim Chalmers(Rankin, QLD) decided not to contest the position or withdrew their candidacy. The ALP party room met on 30 May 2019, and Mr Albanese waselected unopposed.
