Dutton resigned as immigration minister shortly after losing the leadership vote 48 votes to 35.



Health minister Greg Hunt, Cyber security minister Angus Taylor, international development minister Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, citizenship minister Alan Tudge, assistant minister to the treasurer Michael Sukkar, assistant minister to the prime minister James McGrath, and assistant minister for science Zed Seselja offered their resignations on Tuesday night.

It's understood the prime minister has so far only accepted the resignation of NSW conservative senator Fierravanti-Wells, who quit the front bench in a strongly worded letter.

“Our conservative base strongly feel that their voice has been eroded. They needed some demonstrable indication that there are conservative voices around your cabinet table,” she said in her resignation letter addressed to Turnbull.



Fierravanti-Wells outlined her concern that the party was moving "too far to the left" and losing its "conservative base".
