So far, some key government figures have publicly announced their intentions – or someone has announced for them.
For Turnbull
- Arthur Sinodinos
- Julie Bishop
For Abbott
- Scott Morrison
- Cory Bernardi
- Joe Hockey
- Andrew Nikolic
- Peter Dutton
- Kevin Andrews
- Matthias Cormann
It should be noted that some of the people publicly supporting Abbott are considered under performing and that other ministers have not spoken to the media. Senior analysts and journalists believe the numbers could be in Turnbull’s favour.
