Will>Turnbull change his team in any way by the new year ?
Background: Donors tell Turnbull he needs new blood
Threat to stop cash unless renewal happens
Big names of Howard era pinpointed
MAJOR business donors to the Liberal Party have put Malcolm Turnbull on notice that their continued financial support is now conditional on a large scale renewal of MPs in the parliamentary party.
The business figures have compiled a list of MPs who they believe should stand down at the next election in order to allow new talent to come through and to demonstrate to voters that the Opposition is looking to the future, rather than the past.
The list of 14 MPs across all states includes senior figures from the Howard era such as Philip Ruddock, Bronwyn Bishop, Kevin Andrews and New South Wales powerbroker Bill Heffernan.
But none of the four mentioned have shown any inclination that they want to move on.
Both Ms Bishop and Mr Ruddock, a former immigration minister and attorney-general, have said they intend standing again.
Mr Andrews, a former workplace relations minister, is currently overseeing the Coalition's post-election policy review.
