Dumped prime minister Malcolm Turnbull is reportedly set to quit federal parliament this week and spark a by-election in his seat on the 6th of October.
Nine Network and the A-B-C are reporting Mr Turnbull will quit parliament this week, after he promised he wouldn't stay on the back bench.
The move will leave the Coalition one seat down for two sitting weeks, leaving new Prime Minister Scott Morrison in a precarious position with no majority in parliament.
Just days after Tony Abbott helped orchestrate Mr Turnbull's demise, he's now campaigning for his sister to replace Mr Turnbull in his Sydney electorate.
Christine Forster has confirmed she intends to run for Liberal pre-selection in Wentworth.
