My first election in which I could vote was 1996, and I voted for Georgiou at that election. The only time my vote ever mattered was when I spent a few years in the seat of Melbourne (federally and at the State level). My vote didn't quite matter last time out when Burnside and Yates were challenging Frydenberg. Now it actually appears that my vote will matter. It's just too bad that my children aren't quite of voting age this time around to be able to vote as well.

That billboard appears on a pub that is at Kew Junction. It's been vacant for quite some time (from recollection, before COVID struck). Frydenberg has done a lot of work buying promotional space on the facades of empty buildings in his seat.

A billboard that Josh reluctantly vetoed.
Seems like most of his signs have gone up on businesses that have shut down. You'd assume that's not a good look for a treasurer

Much as I’m loathe to give him credit, James Campbell made a good point on Insiders on Sunday.
Josh’s posters are almost all on bought space, whilst Monique is basically all from people choosing to put up posters in their yard. People would be more likely to listen to what their neighbours are saying as opposed to advertising forced upon them. Voting liberal will be a hard habit for some to break, but just listening to some of the testimonials that there’s already a lot of people who voted Liberal last time that are prepared to switch their vote.

BREAKING NEWS
JOSH FRYDENBERG GROPED AND KISSED RACHELLE MILLER !
Now we know why she was paid $500 000 to keep quiet !
She was not only assaulted by Tudge , it seems a queue of liberals were at it , and so was Little Joshy too ! A married man no less, just like Tudge.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s unwanted kissing and groping said to be the key reason for Morrison's cover-up of the Rachelle Miller report.
May 4, 2022 Pierce Field/TRUE CRIMES WEEKLY
EXCLUSIVE: Allegations that Treasurer Josh Frydenberg kissed and groped a junior staffer without their consent a decade ago are said to be the key reason for why Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been trying to cover-up a major Department of Finance report into sexual abuse and harassment within Federal Parliament.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is at the centre of the latest sexual harassment scandal that has plagued Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s tenure as leader of Australia.
It can now be revealed by True Crime News Weekly the embattled Treasurer – who is currently fighting for his political life to hold onto the Melbourne blue ribbon seat of Kooyong at the May 21 federal election – is the key reason for why Morrison and his government have refused for close to a month to release a Department of Finance report into allegations of sexual misconduct and bullying levelled against several Coalition MPs by former Liberal staffer, Rachelle Miller.
Ms Miller, a former media adviser to on-again / off-again Cabinet Minister Alan Tudge, has already made public allegations against Tudge that he had been emotionally and physically abusive whilst they were in an extra-marital relationship in 2017.
Tudge has admitted to the relationship but has continued to deny the allegations of physical violence and coercive control made by Ms Miller.
So sure was Tudge of his supposed innocence, Ms Miller recently received a reported payment of more than $500,000 to keep her mouth shut, giving his boss Prime Minister Scott Morrison the ability to hide behind the non-disclosure agreement and refuse to answer any questions on the matter.
This is despite Ms Miller mid-last month bravely issuing a public challenge to the Prime Minister to release the report, risking her own reputation to bring these allegations to light.
Yet, the PM’s inaction is not because he wants to protect Tudge, but to protect one of his even more senior lieutenants and possible leadership replacement: Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.
A drinking and tennis playing buddy of Tudge, it can be revealed Frydenberg himself has been named in the ‘report’ commissioned by the Department of Finance via Sydney legal firm Sparke Helmore Lawyers as one of the many Coalition MPs alleged to have assaulted or bullied Ms Miller since 2010.
The report contains allegations Frydenberg kissed and groped Ms Miller without her consent while she was a junior Liberal Party staffer about a decade ago.
Frydenberg has been an MP in Federal Parliament since 2010.
The Treasurer was an already married man at the time of the alleged incident involving Ms Miller, having married his current wife, Amie Frydenberg, in the same year as his election to Federal Parliament, in 2010.
Frydenberg and his team have been doing their best of late to make sure the allegations don’t see the light of day during the election campaign.
Even going so far as plastering himself all over last weekend’s News Corp papers branded as the great family man who needs to be re-elected otherwise the world as we know it might end.
It was a similar tactic that our old mate Barnaby Joyce used in 2017 when ‘rumours’ first started spreading about his own indiscretions.
It is likely Frydenberg’s desperation to hold onto his seat is partly motivated by the fact he has never held a real job outside of the Canberra bubble for more than four years.
Frydenberg has been rattled both by Ms Miller’s allegations within the report as well as the electoral challenge from independent candidate Dr Monique Ryan, who has created a teal-wave of support in leafy Kooyong.
Such is Frydenberg’s fear of democracy he has spent most of the campaign sooking about someone daring to take the position he spent so many years sucking up to the likes of Jeff Kennett and Michael Kroeger for his ‘appointment’ to the blue-ribbon Liberal seat.
The recent media offensive for Frydenberg concocted by Coalition HQ was a peculiar way to end a fortnight of Cabinet members dodging questions about the details of Ms Miller’s settlement.
An almost perfect way to hide the disturbing history of the former tennis hopeful that lost $60 billion in the 2019 / 20 financial year.
It seems like it’s not only the ‘JoshKeeper’ strategy that is backfiring.
This maybe the first time a gag-order on a victim of alleged sexual harassment by numerous powerful men has been used to protect a parliamentarian’s electoral interests.
These disturbing allegations also place further spotlight on the culture of Parliament House and the role of the Department of Finance and the use of taxpayer funds to silence survivors of alleged abuse.
The Department of Finance is the government department responsible for the employment of parliamentarians staff under the Ministerial and Parliamentary Services Act 2020.
Reputational law firm Sparke Helmore are known to True Crime News Weekly as the Commonwealth’s go-to firm for ‘managing’ such matters despite the Department’s own in-house legal team.
In the public interest True Crime News Weekly has submitted a Freedom of Information request to the Department of Finance for the amount of taxpayer money spent on utilising Spark Helmore’s services over the last financial year.
Previous reporting has shown the integrity of the report run by the Sydney-based firm has left more questions than answers with Ms Miller refusing to take part in further ‘independent’ reviews commissioned by anyone remotely associated with Morrison’s Cabinet.
Indeed, Spark Helmore consider themselves “a proudly Australian law firm that delivers results”.
“Wherever our clients need us, that’s where we are,” their motto goes.
When your client is the Morrison Government, one can only imagine what ‘needs’ are being met given the line-up of alleged gropers and worse within the Prime Minister’s parliamentary party.
Frydenberg did not respond for requests for comment after True Crime News Weekly contacted him to outline the allegations made against him in the hushed-up report.
He did not use the opportunity to defend himself or deny the claims whatsoever.
The Finance Minister, Simon Birmingham, also refused to provide a comment or indeed any explanation about the matters concerning his department’s involvement.
Sparke Helmore meanwhile also unsurprisingly did not return requests for comment.
It must be stated that the information provided to True Crime News Weekly for this story has not come from either Ms Miller or her legal team at Gordon Legal.
Numerous voice messages and written messages sent by True Crime News Weekly to both Ms Miller and her legal team have not been responded to.
We have elected to publish this story and the allegations against Frydenberg as they are in the clear public interest and once again strike at the heart of a sickening culture that has for far too long usurped Canberra.
There seems to be a distinct theme and pattern with Scott Morrison’s leadership as prime minister.
That is: Anytime there is an alleged abuse or harassment scandal involving someone powerful that he knows, Morrison’s first instinct – his automatic reaction – is to deflect, minimise, stick up for the boys.
Christian Porter.
Alan Tudge.
Dyson Heydon.
Bruce Lehrmann.
George Christensen and his still unexplained years of unaccounted visits to the Philippines – a hub of child sexual abuse tourism for wealthy White men.
Christensen only went to find himself a bride at the Ponytails strip club though.
And now, Josh Frydenberg.
Morrison’s inaction perhaps shouldn’t be too much of a surprise though.
His spiritual mentor is of course the recently fired Hillsong pastor Brian Houston, who is currently facing charges for enabling and covering up the prolonged child sexual abuse crimes committed by his own father.
It seems like Morrison has learnt from some of the best in the business.
At least there is one thing Morrison can look back fondly upon during his wasted and torrid time as prime minister of Australia.
He was always good for a cover-up.

Pretty shitty reporting. They claim "it can be revealed" but provide nothing to back this up. The claims are supposedly in a 'report' but they offer nothing to prove the report exists and give no explanation how they know about it. The rest of the article is just a hit piece on Frydenberg.
What a nothing burger.

Lol
It is a fact that the department of finance has paid a $500k settlement and will not disclose any details, it is a fact Morrison will not reveal the details of any internal reports, it is a fact that Frydenberg will not respond to questions, and your conclusion is the article has no credibility. **** off
We need the MSM to follow this up.
I know, must be terrible seeing stuff like this not in news.com.au slandering labor pollies….

They won't.
Both Jordies and Serkan have stated that the stories that they broke were common knowledge by Canberran journos.
The article lacks credibility because it makes fairly significant claims, but gives literally nothing as evidence that they are true. The author isn't claiming to have seen a leaked copy of the report and they aren't claiming to have been informed by an insider. As for the issue of the $500k settlement -- there is nothing, as yet, that connects it to Frydenberg specifically. The fact that Morrison won't reveal any details is not evidence that it's all connected to Frydenberg -- it's just evidence that Morrison is secretive and we already knew that. He could just as easily be protecting another minister. It's not like there isn't a shortage of shitbags in his cabinet.
But that doesn't change that fact that the article is a shitty hatchet job, written by a amateur hack.
Just because it's a hatchet job against someone you might dislike doesn't make it any better. Even if it subsequently turns out to be true, it doesn't make it good journalism. C'mon, no wonder our media is so terrible if this is considered acceptable content.

Presumably. But that's irrelevant right now, given that legal action would take ages. If Frydenberg loses his seat, the accusations are moot. If he wins his seat and the Coalition retain government, he probably forgets about the whole thing and tries to ignore it (lest he creates a Streisand effect).
But If he wins his seat and the Coalition loses... then we'll potentially see fireworks. Because then all his enemies will come out of the woodwork and start leaking stories to the media in order to discredit him. So if the story is true, I'm sure we'll get confirmation
Yes. Though, I'm not sure I understand why she doesn't just come out say whatever she wants to say. Unless they required her to sign an NDA... which would be pretty odd for a settlement from a government employer.

Hall of Famer
Did hear something about an NDA and then how after government revealed her identity or something her lawyers said she no longer felt bound by the agreement

Not a fan of Frydenberg and not planning on voting for him, but that piece in "True Crimes Weekly" is pretty weak sauce. They're probably hoping to get sued by Frydenberg to give them the attention they crave. If I were a legal adviser to Frydenberg, I'd be telling him to not sue because they probably don't have any money and suing over the article would simply give it oxygen while doing nothing will see it vanish into the ether.

Herald-Sun article quoting Jane Hume's attack on Dr Ryan's economic plan involving universal dental care, universal childcare and "generous paid parental leave". Funnily enough, I take the view that those types of plans would have long-term benefits for the Australian economy.
