Yes and he's asked for a secret ballot rather than a show of hands. I wonder if he will get his way. Probably depends on how the frenzy of phone calls over the weekend, garnering support, pans out.

West Australian Liberal MP Luke Simpkins has emailed party room colleagues to announce he will move a spill motion against the Prime Minister.
It will be seconded by Don Randall.
The ABC has been told the MPs called the Prime Minister shortly before sending the email.
In Mr Simpkins' email he writes that:

"In the last two weeks I have been inundated with emails and walk-ins to my Electorate Office all questioning the direction the Government is being led in.
"The knighthood issue was for many the final proof of a disconnection with the people.
"These contacts have come from many people that I personally know and are firm supporters - in some cases they are booth workers as well.
"The last time this outpouring of concern happened was when we were being led to support the Rudd Government's ETS, and faced with this erosion of our base support we acted.
"I think that we must bring this to a head, and test the support of the leadership in the party room.
"As I have said in the past, I have no front bench ambitions. I just want to make sure that the economic vandals do not get back into power and our children and grandchildren are not left to pay Labor's bill. I do this because I believe it is in the best interests of the people of our country."
Mr Simpkins says he has submitted a motion to the Government's chief whip asking for the spill to be conducted via a secret ballot at Tuesday's party room meeting.
