Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison held an emergency meeting with members of his embattled Liberal Party on Monday as his minority government stared down the barrel at a heavy election defeat within the next six months.
Morrison met lawmakers from Victoria, Australia's second-most populous state, where voters overwhelmingly turned against the Liberals in a state election Saturday, stoking panic within the Liberal-National coalition.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, who is from Victoria, said the meeting was productive but declined to specify what was said.
