Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has been accused of buying the 2016 federal election, after he admitted to have donated 1.75 million Australian dollars (1.32 million U.S. dollars) of his own money to the Liberal Party during the eight-week campaign.
It is Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's "duty" to unite the coalition government in the face of a defection threat from outspoken Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi, former Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Friday.
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau on Wednesday named a 31-member Cabinet here as he was sworn into office as Canada's 23rd prime minister.
As Tony Abbott continued to flounder as Australia's prime minister, his dwindling popularity reflected in increasingly grim poll results, and the 2016 election began to loom large on the horizon, it was probably only a matter of time before a challenger emerged from the Liberal Party ranks.

Australia's parliament has elected a new speaker of the House - following the widely- publicized resignation of former speaker Bronwyn Bishop last week - in an appointment expected to result in a more productive and less rancorous parliament.
Tony Abbott has reiterated that he is "very confident" he will remain as Australia's prime minister, despite increasing pressure to call for a leadership spill in the near future.
