"The protocol of Canberra politics seems to demand that leaders are roasted alive if they show signs of losing support in the heartlands," the article reads.
It notes the important relationship between Australia and Britain, then says: "Friends, however, have the duty to say, as many Australians are saying: 'Mate, your system is dysfunctional.'"
The newspaper blames this partly on our three-year electoral cycles, suggesting the lack of a "settling-in period" for new leaders breeds contempt when legislation isn't passed through fast enough.
It also suggests part of Malcolm Turnbull's ousting was because he was "considered arrogant" and "surrendered too much ground to the left".
Meanwhile, over in the United States, CNN's Ben Westcott likened Australian political leadership to a "merry-go-round".
"There's never been a more exciting time to be Australian," the report says, quoting Turnbull after he rolled Tony Abbott in 2015. "But it wouldn't be surprising to find Australians longing for those days when their lives were a bit less exciting."
The article notes Australia is the envy of the world.
"Australia has now gone 27 years without a recession, a record of continuous growth of which dozens of other countries including the United States would be envious," it says.
"Despite that, its political culture can more often resemble that of a coup-prone banana republic."
Similar deal over at The New York Times: "Australians joke that leadership challenges are a national sport, and gambling websites were giving odds and accepting bets. As each candidate entered the field, the odds on bookmaking sites fluctuated."
The Associated Press ran an explainer which Fox News headlined as "How Australians dump their prime ministers".
"It's a new era of political instability that most Australians hate," the article said. "Voters expect that they will get to judge their leaders at the ballot box. Many feel hoodwinked when they go to elections expecting one national leader, then later have another imposed upon them."
Even Beijing got in on the action.
Earlier last week, as Peter Dutton was gearing up for a second challenge, China's state media issued a scathing editorial describing him as "a second-rate version of Trump".
The piece, which appeared in the hawkish Global Times newspaper, referenced Dutton's controversial asylum seeker policies, his boycotting of a 2008 national apology to the Stolen Generations and his remarks about African crime gangs in Melbourne.
"This Dutton can be a regarded as a 'semi-Trump'," the editorial said.
It described him as "notorious", saying: "He believes that climate change is fabricated and mocked the island residents in the Pacific Ocean who are facing the loss of their homeland by climate change.
"He is also accused of being 'racist'.
"We can imagine the consequences he will bring to Australia if he is in charge of the country. This is the most embarrassing situation in Australian politics. If such a person is to take charge of Australia, what outcome can be expected now?"
Morrison sought to reassure the public that the Liberal party has reunited for the people. "What Josh [Frydenberg] and I are here to tell you, as the new generation of Liberal leadership, is that we're on your side. That's what matters," he said in his first address as Prime Minister.
But a text message, tweeted by Buzzfeed journalist Alice Workman, begs to differ. "It is not over, fight continues, f*** Scott."
The international spotlight on Canberra may not be dimming just yet.
