The new Australian PM is Scott Morrison

Scott Morrison is the new Prime Minister of Australia, beating Dutton 45-40 in the second round of voting.

He has some chance of uniting the party as Dutton and Bishop were both considerably disliked by the left and right factions. But the reality is he will probably be PM for just a year at most.

Morrison actually worked in NZ for two years as the director of our Office of Tourism and Sport. He is 1/4 Kiwi through his maternal grandfather.
