Josh Frydenberg. Out of his depth.

[Pessimistic]

Who the fu** gives $20 for a tooth? It's a pity Chalmers said he gave $20 too, but honestly, how out of touch are politicians? $5 is even too much.

These are the types of issues voters should vote on.

They are probably more in touch as even $5 doesn’t get much that kids want these days
And forget the savings account we had back then, the bank will absorb it in no time

It’s simply not the same world

Maybe the discussion should be comparing Newstart back than and now

1975 when Josh was a boy. Tooth fairy $0.50. Dole $60 fortnight
2022 Josh’s kids…….tooth fairy $20 (x40). Dole $640 fortnight. (X11)


Kids should be gettin $10 to be fair, they are bludgers after all

Liberal polling predicts losses for Josh Frydenberg and Tim Wilson

The federal Coalition’s path to victory appears to be narrowing, with some Liberals now conceding they see no way to win majority government on current internal polling.

There is also heightened concern around Treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s prospects of retaining the once-blue-ribbon Melbourne seat of Kooyong against independent challenger Dr Monique Ryan. The Saturday Paper understands that Liberal polling shows Frydenberg’s primary vote currently tracking at 42 per cent. This is about 2 per cent lower than it needs to be to ensure he can withstand a likely preference flow in Ryan’s favour from Greens and Labor voters.

The polling is also believed to suggest assistant minister Tim Wilson is headed for defeat at the hands of another independent – former ABC journalist Zoe Daniel – in the Melbourne bayside seat of Goldstein, with Wilson currently recording a primary vote of just 37 per cent.

This is a fairly typical and somewhat misguided response from Libs. Instead of asking themselves why these independents are doing well in seats that they consider their own property, they've thrown an absolute hissy fit and done everything but look at themselves. Turnbull was spot on yesterday.

 

[Pessimistic]

That’s a swing of 7.5 against on top of the 8.5 at the 2019. 16% is some neglect. And the same as the ALP vote in 2019

Don’t discount labor and greens giving their first preference to Monique, meaning the Monique votes with josh second never come into play

Labor used to get around 30% before greens and serious independents came along. Us Kooyong reds have been tactical voting for a while it seems

Err, I want Josh to lose his seat. But, typical response from a lefty, can't see the bias.

Did you have the same whinge when Sarah Henderson joined the Liberal party? Pru Goward? Cameron Thompson? Rob Messenger? There's a substantial list of former ABC journalists that have represented the LNP.

Or how about Dai Le, former ABC journo, former Liberal candidate and now Independent candidate for Fowler, a Labor held seat. Why isn't she being badgered as a "so called independent"?

I'm sorry to seem dense... but where is the bias?

Because a former ABC journalist is now running as a independent?

Golden opportunity missed there.
Could have really hit him on the “treasurer for nsw” bit.

Economically driven evolution.
If evolution was that flexible Josh would have been born with two faces.

He should embrace the Treasurer for NSW, because as a Vic moderate he has gone as far as possible within the Lib hierarchy.

Detail it for us "lefties" then.

By the way, the term (lefty) isn't taken as an insult. It's a compliment.
