Ending a leadership contest, Malcolm Turnbull was forced out by party rivals, making way for Morrison to become the PM of the nation.

Turnbull had been under pressure from poor polling and what he described as an "insurgency" by conservative MPs, reported BBC.

Morrison won an internal ballot 45-40 against former Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton.
