This is Richard Dowdy, the Tony Abbott junior staffer, who hurled the c-word bomb at Malcolm Turnbull shortly after the Liberals had rolled his boss on Monday night.

Mr Dowdy confronted Mr Turnbull and according to one Liberal source, said: "'Malcolm, Malcolm, Malcolm,' and then Malcolm turned around and he yelled 'you're a c---'."

Mr Dowdy has been a staffer for Mr Abbott since late 2009, when the Member for Warringah knifed Malcolm Turnbull for the Liberal Party leadership.
