Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › General Article

Abstract

When the Liberal Party's most senior right-wing figure, Peter Dutton, forced a leadership spill in 2018, ending Malcolm Turnbull's premiership, even some moderates in the party room preferred him over the hyper-ambitious Scott Morrison. Yet it was to the latter they reluctantly turned, judging him less frightening to voters.
