Australian politics is WILD.
So wild, we’re not really sure who our prime minister is on any given day.
So in the midst of another leadership spill on Tuesday, confusion peaked. We have Google Trends to prove it.
Yup. As Peter Dutton challenged Malcolm Turnbull for the Liberal Party of Australia leadership, and therefore the role of PM, Australians took to our trusty friend Google to figure out what the heck was going on: who is prime minister?
We’ve had five prime ministers in 11 years, and that nearly become six yesterday. It’s hard to keep up, okay?
Google informs us that Turnbull is currently PM, but honestly, even he doesn't look sure?
And just when we thought we'd got it all figured out, there are rumours swirling that Dutton may give this leadership spill thing another go... Yikes.
Keep up the Googling, Australia.

Has anybody else read about how the Polish have invented a "Vagina Beer". Like WTF??
I think I’m going to need more information. Is it vagina-flavoured beer? Or made from vaginal yeast (ew)? Please explain. I really don’t want to Google ‘vagina beer’!
If Dutton and his supporters think that they will be able to win the election with him as leader, they are delusional. It will be like when Peter Costello was going to take over from John Howard and they lost to Rudd. Dutton barely has the support in his own electorate, so I fail to see how the Libs can think that this is their best shot.
And he is a hard core conservative, a very small percentage of voters actually fall into that category. Turnbull was moderate and centrist, probably why everyone hates him, but these types usually make great leaders.
