Scott Morrison has succeeded in his bid to become Australia’s 30th prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party, ending the nation’s leadership uncertainty after a tumultuous week of intense debate and lack of confidence in outgoing prime minister Malcolm Turnbull’s leadership.
After what has been the second leadership challenge this week, Morrison came out victorious after defeating Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and former Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to become prime minister—the sixth leader Australia has had in the last decade.
