Ten ministers in Australia have resigned following a failed bid to oust Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull as party leader.
Mr Turnbull narrowly survived a vote on Tuesday, but is now likely to face a second leadership challenge.
He has accepted the resignation of only two ministers including his challenger, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton.
The division has thrown Australian politics into a state of upheaval.
Mr Dutton, who resigned his Cabinet post after losing the vote, confirmed that he is still actively campaigning for the leadership and has lobbied other MPs for their support in a second vote.
