A group of Coalition MPs and senators met on the evening of 13 September 2014 to plot the downfall of Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Those present included Mitch Fifield, James McGrath, Mal Brough and Wyatt Roy. They had been planning to move against Abbott for some time, and decided to act immediately rather than wait until after the Canning by-election in Western Australia. Abbott was defeated by Malcolm Turnbull in a leadership spill the following day. Rumours of a plot against Abbott had been circulating for some time, but they were dismissed by both Abbott himself and his chief of staff, Peta Credlin.
