The media are reporting that Peter Dutton has resigned his position as Minister for the Department of Home Affairs following his unsuccessful challenge earlier today to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Dutton lost the leadership "spill" by a vote of 48 - 35 and will now move to the backbench.

The details are available in this article from the Sydney Morning Herald at this link.
