This developed country has seen 6 prime ministers in 10 years

Australia has got a new prime minister and he is Scott Morrison who was previously the country's treasurer. Morrison was sworn in as the PM on Friday, August 24, after winning a leadership contest. Morrison defeated former home affairs minister Peter Dutton in a closer door vote. It was the second time in a week that the voting took place.

On Tuesday, a similar initiative was taken to get rid of the outgoing prime minister Malcolm Turnbull following a dispute over a climate change bill. Turnbull resigned on Friday after the majority of the lawmakers of his Liberal Party refused to support his leadership.

Not a single Australian prime minister who served in the last 10 years has succeeded in fulfilling their first term and was ousted by their own party.
