Josh Frydenberg made a ‘massive contribution’ to Australian politics

Shadow Environment Minister Jonathon Duniam says former treasurer Josh Frydenberg made a “massive contribution” to Australian politics during his time as Member for Kooyong. Sky News can reveal leaked correspondence to Liberal members in Kooyong encouraging them to back preselected candidate Amelia Hamer. Some in the Coalition believe Mr Frydenberg has a better chance of unseating his independent successor, Monique Ryan, than his colleague, while others believe the issue detracts from the Coalition’s election campaign. “Josh had obviously made a massive contribution to Australian politics in his time as Member for Kooyong and Treasurer,” Mr Duniam told Sky News Australia. “I note that he hasn’t committed to putting his hand up. “They have a terrific candidate in Amelia Hamer already endorsed.”
