WHAT THEY SAID AFTER TURNBULL TOOK LEADERSHIP:
Independent senator Jacqui Lambie: "I'm wrapped. Australia now after two years of the coalition being in government is now open for business. Certainly as long as the policies change along with the leader then there's a good chance we'll get Australia back on its feet."
Independent senator John Madigan: "The new prime minister may have the support of the party room but he doesn't have a mandate. Now it's time to put it to the people."
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten: "Australia doesn't need another Liberal Leader - we need a change of Government, and Labor's up for the fight. Australians know that with Malcolm, it will always be about Malcolm."
Greens MP Adam Bandt: "A new PM. A chance for a new direction on climate change? Or has he made promises to deniers to get the gig?"
News Corp boss Rupert Murdoch: "Sad to see such a decent man as Abbott toppled. Now Turnbull needs a November election before Labor sacks Shorten."
