I was kinda surprised to read that Duchess' crush, ^ Tony Abbott, is out as Prime Minister, after only two years.

So, ^ Maclom Turnbull is in -- same Liberal party, different representative (if I understand correctly).
A “humbled” Malcolm Turnbull will be sworn in on Tuesday as Australia’s 29th Prime Minister and has promised a “thoroughly Liberal” and consultative government "committed to freedom, the individual and the market".
The former Communications Minister stunned the nation late on Monday by ousting Tony Abbott in a Liberal party room ballot, 54 to 44, with one informal vote. Turnbull promised the Government’s leadership and messaging is about to change.
“The culture of our leadership is going to be one that is thoroughly consultative, a traditional thoroughly traditional Cabinet government that ensures that we make decisions in a collaborative manner,” he told reporters in Canberra.
“The Prime Minister of Australia is not a president.”
Turnbull has made several concessions to the party’s right, including keeping the current climate targets of 26-28 percent of 2005 greenhouse gas emissions levels by 2030, committing to a plebiscite (referendum vote) on same-sex marriage and agreeing not to go to an early election.
