That's where we leave you tonight

After a week of what can politely be described as political turbulence, Australia has a new Prime Minister.

Many of you have expressed disappointment in the shambolic way things have unfolded this week, as have many inside Parliament House.

Today's events mean that no prime minister has served a full term in more than a decade.

This didn't really go the way anyone expected it to.

Peter Dutton, the man who launched a strike on a sitting Prime Minister, failed in his bid to to take hold of the Coalition Government.

On his last day as the nation's leader, Malcolm Turnbull took a parting shot at the "insurgents" that managed to destabilise his prime ministership, and his successor Scott Morrison has promised the "next generation" of Liberal leaders are on your side.

Thank you for reading, and for all of your comments. You've been very kind, but it's worth noting that while the wonderful Henry Belot and I have been your stewards this week, we are a small part of a very large team working hard to keep you across the many, many twists and turns.

Until next time.
