Prime Minister Tony Abbott has thrown out any suggestion there will be a leadership spill this week, labelling continued speculation as "recycled rubbish".
Mr Abbott took a break from picking up soft drinks cans and milk cartons for Clean Up Australia Day in the Illawarra to again brush off reports he had lost confidence in his party.
"This is just recycled rubbish and on a day like Clean Up Australia Day, let's put it in the bag and get rid of it," he said on Sunday.
"We went through this a few weeks ago, the matter was settled and we're now getting on with government, that's what we were all elected to do."
Mr Abbott also refused to answer questions on whether Malcolm Turnbull or Julie Bishop was more of a threat to his leadership.
"Well, look, they're all strong and effective members of my team and we are all getting on with government, and that's what I'm doing every day.
"Frankly I think the people of Australia are getting sick of the insider obsessions of people in Canberra."
Earlier on Sunday, Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull said that federal leadership speculation should be put aside to get NSW Premier Mike Baird re-elected in the state election.
Speaking outside his Sydney house before taking his dog for a walk, Mr Turnbull told reporters that the Prime Minister had his support, but the critical thing was to focus on the upcoming state election.
"Federal issues are really important, of course they are. But for the next four weeks, the most important thing is getting Mike Baird re-elected."
Mr Turnbull spent Saturday campaigning with local Coogee member Bruce Notley-Smith.
"Whatever questions people have about me or Tony Abbott or Julie Bishop or Joe Hockey or Scott Morrison or anybody in the Federal party, whatever Federal issues they have got, the state election is not the time to be responding to them," he said. "The state election is about the State Government. It's not about Tony Abbott, it's about Mike Baird.
"As I've said many times, the PM has my support, he has the support of the Cabinet and life goes on. But the critical thing, I can't stress it enough, is the state election."
Speculation has been growing that another spill motion against Mr Abbott's leadership could happen within weeks.
Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop described Mr Turnbull as a "very close friend" and a good performer, but would not elaborate when asked if he had the support of the Australian community to be the leader.
"I know that there are some who are great supporters of Malcolm," Ms Bishop told the The Bolt Report on Sunday.
"There are some who are great supporters of others. But it's a hypothetical argument because the PM has not been challenged. There was a spill motion that didn't succeed. And what we're doing is focusing on governing."
Assistant Treasurer Josh Frydenberg echoed Mr Turnbull and Ms Bishop's comments, saying that now was not the time to change the leadership, especially in the lead-up to the May budget.
"My view is we shouldn't be changing leader now, particularly because the PM has only been in the job for less than 80 weeks," Mr Frydenberg told ABC Insiders on Sunday morning.
"Many people who were pushing this spill motion thought they had the numbers, they didn't," he said. "We've got a budget to prepare for, we've got a state election in NSW, Mike Baird is ahead in the polls. I don't think it's fair to him to continue this destabilisation."
