Today, on Friday August 24, 2018, the leadership spill in Australian politics came to its hectic conclusion.

In the race to find

love

a new Prime Minister (bye Malcolm Turnbull), three suitors were vying for the final

rose

job.

In the blue power suit corner, we had Julie Bishop, Minister for Foreign Affairs and deputy Liberal leader.

Over in the beige corner stood Scott Morrison. Sco Mo. The (then) Treasurer of Australia. Spoiler, sorry.

And under a pile of potatoes lay Peter Dutton. If you’re not sure why the humble and beloved potato was brought into this sordid mess, refer to our Peter Dutton potato explainer.

Moving on.

To answer your question, who is Prime Minister, the answer is Scott Morrison.

As for how all of us feel about this leadership spill? (Thanks for asking, Canberra.)

Some of us are, rightly, angry. Others are completely confused. A small percentage are likely purchasing flights to New Zealand as we speak. And others honestly don’t know what else to do but laugh.

Or create memes.

Here are the thoughts (and lols) of you, the Australian people, as shared on Twitter.

Surely this is the image of today’s arrivals for the leadership meeting.

Judge has just stopped a major trial telling lawyers: “let’s go find out who our new Prime Minister is.” Crazy days. #auslaw #auspol

So, is it going to be the angry, hectoring right-wing white male psycho who let refugees die, or the the quiet, hateful right-wing white male psycho who let refugees die? #auspol #libspill
