Australia PM Abbott faces backbench rebellion
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott is facing a growing backbench rebellion, with three MPs calling for a vote on his leadership.

One Liberal MP, Dennis Jensen, has publicly called on the prime minister to step down.

Questions over Mr Abbott's leadership have grown amid a popularity slump and a shock defeat for his Liberal-National coalition in the Queensland election.

He has described the leadership wrangle as a sign of a "robust" party.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has been suggested as a possible challenger, although she has told fellow cabinet members she is "not campaigning for the job of prime minister".
