Josh Frydenberg. Out of his depth.

[Proper Gander]

Wow our boy Frydo is looking to be feeling the pressure. Saw him on ABC news breakfast, where he spent 10 minutes motionless and talking in a creepy monotone about raising the minimum wage being bad for clear reasons which boiled down to saying the economy over and over again without blinking, before sliding into a peculiar stance on a Federal ICAC with teeth being a bad thing because of making politicians face public accountability which is not fair because other reasons. All delivered with a thousand-yard stare.

The bloke doesn’t even look smug anymore. He looks like a man who has discovered he is very, very alone

That is the teal in their name. Blue with green mixed in. They are all basically conservatives who want to have green policy introduced. At the very worst they bring the Liberals back to the centre.

Dr Ryan was a member of the ALP when Rudd was PM, on the basis of Rudd's promise to ratify the Kyoto Agreement. I don't think she stayed a member for too long, though.

**** him. Rolling out the ‘moderate’ line now and distancing himself from Scummo etc. Self preservation - let’s see if his constituents are prepared to buy his shit.

He actually looked nervous and what was the point of starting off with all those numbers? They would put everyone off.

They are incapable of plain speak.

What Josh Frydenberg says he will 'do better' if he's re-elected in Kooyong

Josh Frydenberg says the federal government needs to communicate its climate change ‘achievements’ more clearly, should it win Saturday week’s election. He admits he’s guilty of that himself, telling Neil Mitchell climate change was undoubtedly one of the key issues in his Kooyong electorate. “I...

All about ‘communicating’ your success? Pretty sure the libs and Nats are communicating their stance very clearly

Was he asked to explain Cosplay Canavan? Like... the whole package that is his fellow MP?

 

[Tyberious Funk]

I've said it before but I rated Frydenberg quite highly when he first entered politics. I didn't agree with him in policy terms, but I always found him fairly reasoned, intelligent, articulate and generally pretty open and honest.

Since then, he's morphed into a caricature of a politician -- shamelessly hypocritical, tricky and duplicitous, and ruthlessly ambitious. And he let his ambitions distract him from his core beliefs and his responsibilities to his electorate.

If he truly is about to face his D-Day, I wouldn't be surprised if he's a bit shell-shocked. His downfall is entirely self-inflicted and entirely avoidable.

Personally, I still think he'll win. But I think it's great for some long-term incumbents to get a wake-up call. If there was a similar movement to unseat a few rusted-on Nationals.

He was on Neil Mitchell’s program.. Didn’t hear it but I could answer that question confidently.

Which amounts to " What the Liberal Party needs to do is Lie more ardently!"

That is because for all intents and purposes he is the Gimp, and gets put in his chest once the word Victoria is out of the discussion.

Not only this waste and his utter incompetence but turning his back on the state where he resides and continually putting it down. A grub.

Shotgun …..your perspective….Russian.?lol

Quoting Jenny "Charmaine" Frecklington-Jones is scraping the bottom of the barrel

So the fact Joshy has Palmer as his number 2 eludes you then. Or, more likely, doesn't bother you.

 

[mill204]

Spending BIG is Joshy. Billboards. Signs. Trucks. Now models. Perhaps some of his mates who profited from the JobKeeper largesse are tipping in.

Don't think caring and sharing have a lot to do with what he's getting at. More hypocrisy is my read.

Nowadays Hewson would be a Teal as would Fraser and Menzies.

Fraser would. Not so sure about the others. Although the following quote from Menzies on welfare does show the party had a social conscience back then.

Hewson wasn't close to a teal when he was in parliament. He was pretty crazy.

Would love someone to read this to Morrison at a press conference & ask him who he thinks said it & if he agrees.
