Australia's history of political ousting - in 60 seconds

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has been ousted by former Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Mr Abbott, who had been plagued by poor opinion polls, received 44 votes to Mr Turnbull's 54.

It is not the first leadership challenge to take place in Australia - a country with a rich history of top-level ousting.
