Malcolm Turnbull has made some headway but still faces major hurdles in trying to reassert his leadership of the coalition and wipe out party opposition to his stance on emissions trading.

He's tried to stare down his opponents at the Western Australian Liberal party conference, but only with limited success.
 
WA delegates have watered down a motion to delay any negotiations with the Rudd government until after global climate change talks in December.
 
But there's been overwhelming support to not conclude any negotiations until after the Copenhagen summit, which is seen as another rebuff to Mr Turnbull.
 
He's been battling to persuade Liberal dissenters to toe shadow cabinet's line on an emissions trading scheme and support negotiations with the government on amendments to climate change policy.
