The political rubble that is the Australian Liberal Party continues to self implode, this week with rumours there is yet again a leadership dispute within the party.

After a radio interview with John Laws on Tuesday afternoon, Jo Hockey revealed he had been approached by numerous members of the party, regarding taking over the leadership position from the current Malcolm Turnbull.

While Hockey did not mention names, and did say he was supportive of the job Turnbull is doing, the issue has been brought to life by the media.

In the numerous interviews and stories covering the issue since Tuesday, it has come out that the opposition’s stance on emissions trading had caused the rift between Turnbull and many other public servants.

Both Hockey and Turnbull fronted the media yesterday to extinguish the flames caused by the reports, but what they said did little to dismiss the doubt that the party is yet again on unstable grounds.

Sticking to his guns, Mr. Turnbull yesterday said he would not step down from his beliefs and would carry on with his political duties.

“You have a lot of critics in my line of work and ideally they are limited to people outside the party,” he said.

“Obviously we’ve had a few internal critics but I think people are starting to realise now that our job is to focus attention on the Government. The public are not terribly interested in politicians talking about themselves. The reality is that politics is a team business and we have to work together.”

“While we may disagree - whether on policies or personalities - we have to come to a common view. There has to be a leader. There has to be a policy.”

If Turnbull is stood down, it will be the third change in leadership for the Liberal Party this year.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION?

Will we see yet another liberal leader in the next few weeks?

Will Turnbull step down? Will he be voted down? Who will replace him?

How does this affect the Liberal party in regards to the upcoming election?
