Aussie Liberal MP challenges status quo

From Agence France Presse

A Liberal member of parliament announced Friday he will initiate a leadership challenge next week to unseat Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

West Australian MP Luke Simpkins emailed colleagues saying he would make the move at a meeting of Liberal lawmakers set for Tuesday.

"I think we must bring this to a head and test the support of the leadership," he wrote.
