Ten ministers have offered to resign in the wake of Tuesday's Liberal leadership spill, but only two appear to be headed to the backbench.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has refused to accept the resignations of eight of his ministers as he desperately tries to heal the wounds in his party room.
Who's resigned?
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton
The senior Cabinet member tendered his resignation after his failed leadership challenge on Tuesday. Mr Turnbull urged his challenger to stay on saying he "bears no grudges", but ultimately accepted his resignation.

Along with Mr Dutton, Mr Tudge is one of three ministers who oversees the powerful Home Affairs department. He offered his resignation but has reportedly agreed to stay on under Mr Turnbull for now.
