At the moment we have what may be described as an interregnum in Australian politics. Turnbull is the new Liberal leader and as such is, I guess, "Prime Minister in waiting". But he can't be sworn in by the GG until Abbott formally resigns, and the guy has basically vanished since the vote went against him.

Tony Abbott's office could not be reached on Tuesday morning and he has not made any statement since his loss, not even to congratulate his successor.
