Not in the Australian system, it doesn’t. It’s constitutionally allowed, but it’s historically been rare until very recently for a Prime Minister to face a challenge, especially early in their time as Prime Minister.

I know Australian politics very well - and calling this is a crisis is not an exaggeration.

Can you expound on this a bit for an interested American? I'm particularly interested in this from the view of Australian citizens. I thought Tony Abbott was popular with Australians so is this a pure power play between the parties or has Abbott lost support/popularity? Thanks in advance for your time.
