Malcolm, it is time you asserted your authority over your MPs & Senators. It is time you stood up for what you believe is Right.
You are on the record as being in favour of Marriage Equality.
If the homophobes and bigots within your Party dump you then so be it.
At least, unlike them, you will go out with your head held high for standing up for what you believe in.
Peter Dutton has said he is not a challenger – but then so did Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd just before they stabbed each other in the back. So did Bill Shorten before he stabbed both of them!
The Voters don’t like Peter and the Liberal Party would be damned fools if they replaced you with him.
Malcolm,: Bring it On and do it Now”
We are told the Coalition is on a hiding to nowhere at the 2019 Federal Election and you will be replaced as PM by Mr Disloyalty himself: Bill Shorten. Elitist-educated hypocrite now claiming to be the Champion of Equality.

What’s astonishing is that if you are a true Liberal conservative, the plebiscite is a disaster of a policy. It defies the tradition of Liberalism by imposing what John Adams in the 18 century called the tyranny of the majority. It defies Australian political and constitutional tradition. It wastes hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money. Those opposed to marriage equality are dragging Australia away from its position as a modern, western, wealthy judeo-christian society because when we look around the world, every country comparable to Australia has marriage equality. On every level, it runs counter to true conservative Liberalism.

Yet these idiots are going to bring down a government and hand Labor the keys to the lodge because they insist on going with it.

They are on the wrong side of history and they will be derided for decades to come.
