[AU] Libs vote to expel Malcolm Turnball from Party

[Xonax]

The Liberal Party is racing to contain another internal row over its leadership after members on Sydney’s north shore voted for a motion to expel former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull from their party.
The Roseville Branch of the party backed the motion in a vote on Tuesday night to call on the Liberal Party's state headquarters to go ahead with expulsion, sparking a debate that could deepen the hostilities between conservatives and moderates.
Branch president George Szabo has taken calls from senior party officials to establish what happened in the meeting, while other party members refused to comment about the vote and why members wanted Mr Turnbull removed.
The vote came hours after reports emerged on Tuesday that Mr Turnbull and other members of his family, including wife Lucy and son Alex,  were following an instagram account that called for Tony Abbott to be replaced in his federal electorate of Warringah.

The Roseville motion did not set in train any official process for expulsion and does not require a decision by the federal electorate conference for Bradfield, the seat that includes Roseville, where the party's moderate faction controls the key party positions.
Instead, the motion called on the NSW state division to expel the former prime minister, something party officials dismiss.
"The motion is not binding on the division and certainly doesn't reflect its view," said a spokesman for NSW Liberal Party director Chris Stone.
The Roseville branch of the party is famously conservative and has hosted speakers who were highly critical of Mr Turnbull and his government, while backing former prime minister Tony Abbott instead.

The title makes it sound like the vote was successful, but they just haven’t yet put into action the process to expel him. You really should have just used the original title:

Liberals race to counter Roseville vote to expel Malcolm Turnbull

although of course that’s just not as clickbaity
