Turnbull recovers some support: poll
Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull has recovered some public support in a recent opinion poll following his disastrous attack on Kevin Rudd over the Ozcar saga, but his leadership remains plagued by the popularity of former treasurer Peter Costello and Liberal frontbencher Joe Hockey.
Malcolm Turnbull has won the Liberal leadership ballot, defeating incumbent Brendan Nelson, despite Dr Nelson's sudden calling of a vote to catch Mr Turnbull off guard.
