Josh Frydenberg. Out of his depth.

Yeah, first I've heard of that one
Somewhere dreadful I suspect - I think it might have been amongst the comments of that crimeweeky site claiming ‘breaking now’ sexual misconduct by Josh hushed up or whatever.

Not super reliable at all, but I have come across it speculated about. For what its worth I really doubt it - its not just the liberal party capable of backgrounding and dirt files and this one would have hit the mainstream if true. Of course he might be kind of ‘married in name only’ or something. Popular with political types and vicars keeping the shopfront but living in opposite sides of the house.
 
The campaign for the hearts and minds of Kooyong has been one of the most intriguing and bizarre aspects of the campaign altogether, made even more curious given it involves the Federal Treasurer and one of the safest lib seats in the land.

I mean the whole campaign seems to have involved Josh whinging about who puts up campaign signs where, at the same time as Josh buying every little bit of prominent billboard real estate with undisclosed donations. Then Mrs Guide Dog lady drama, which has resulted in any number of donors ceasing to support that charity. Then a campaign focussed on fuzzy issues like we can’t do nice things for Australia because ‘economy’, hinting that people should vote liberal because otherwise it’s not fair, and going with some undertones of well I’m a bit nicer then the actual party leader so vote for me even though I clearly have limited sway in the party room.

Add on now announcing that Kooyong doesn’t like him, plus the strange rumours that he is actually long separated and has another family tucked away, and you’ve got some interesting times.
Hearts and minds?
Is roberts Thompson his campaign manager?

How do explain the Herald Sun front page and 2 page spread with his “family”?

He could be separated from his wife, but still remain married for appearances. He wouldn't be the first politician to live like that.

I'd be surprised, though.

Tony Abbott was supposed to have been secretly separated from his wife, but they'd agreed to keep up appearances while he was the Prime Minister. He was supposed to have struck up a relationship with Peta Credlin. To the best of my knowledge, Abbott is still with his wife and Credlin is still with her husband and there has never been any proof of an affair.

IMHO, the likelihood of the Frydenberg rumours being true is next to zero.
 
what relevance does this have to do with the battle for Kooyong?
He’s just getting some thoughts on the table, and we’re all better for it.

I have always thought that Manhattan Murder Mystery was a surprisingly undervalued movie, and I like banana flavouring like you get in those old school banana lollies a bit better than bananas.

Glad you got that one out there mate
Thanks. Only other options were telling my wife, toddler son or mates who have no interest in politics. Recording it in the place responsible for the thought seemed appropriate.

Anyway Josh is a campaigner. Carry on everyone.
 
The biggest problem for Frydenberg is Morrison and Barnaby.

Yeah that… as well as the fact he’s done absolutely nothing as treasurer since getting the job.

Nor has he done anything local at all as member for Kooyong since getting that job.

He has no record at all to stand on as either a local member or a minister. He has achieved absolutely nothing.

as Carltons #1 ticket holder, looks like he brought the bluebagger effort to politics

Victoria getting 6% of federal infrastructure spend when we are 23% of the federal economy is nothing short of disgraceful.

Frydenberg is a cuk
 
I’m a bit suss over this.

Anyway, regardless of your political allegiance, if you don’t know how to vote, I’m happy your vote isn’t counted.
LIbs line is "if you vote for Ryan it may not count so vote for a ****wit instead"

A title handed to him by a mate who he's helped grift countless riches from the public purse.

Pretty much like anything else in his career.

Frydenberg is your classic grifty leech.
 
The mural was illegally painted on and removed as a result.
The new member can have it reinstated in any case.

It just shows Josh for the weak campaigner he is.
All Libs are softer than Ghee.

Someone should send him a "hurt feelings" report to fill the poor little wet.
People carry on about how soft Greenies are.
The Liberals make the Greenies look like Arnie.
 
The biggest problem for Frydenberg is Morrison and Barnaby.

Let's be honest... Frydenberg's biggest problem is Frydenberg.

I watched highlights from his debate with Ryan. He was a self-entitled, whiny little bitch. He got caught out lying on several occasions, because he was facing an opponent who did her homework and he didn't. He answered important, substantive questions with waffle. He has been more interested in his own political ambitions and pulling the strings behind the scenes along with his mates like Sukkar, and he has been happy to get into bed (pun intended) with the religious bigots like Marcus Bastiaan.

He managed to score the seat basically with the support of Michael Kroger. For a guy that is supposed to be a moderate, he seems to hang out with a lot of dries. He tried to push out Petro Georgiou, and ultimately got preselection after Gergiou retired. Georgiou was a moderate, so my guess is that Frydenberg pitched himself as a moderate in order to get preselected, knowing that was what the Kooyong branch members were looking for. Only now, the ruse is starting to slip.

In any event none of that has anything to do with Morrison and Barnaby.
