Outgoing prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has confirmed he will quit the parliament “not before too long”, listing his government’s achievements in a final valedictory speech.
The prime minister said he was “optimistic and positive” about the future of Australia under the leadership of Scott Morrison.
Scott Morrison will become the 30th prime minister of Australia after trouncing Peter Dutton and Julie Bishop in a three-way race for the Liberal leadership.
Mr Turnbull said he would be leaving the parliament "not before too long", maintaining his promise to leave politics if defeated in Friday's leadership challenge.
