Josh Frydenberg Says 'Things Have to Change' as He Questions Liberal Leadership
Frydenberg said the party faces an existential threat and left open a comeback as polling showed Taylor trailing Albanese by 10 points.
- On Sunday, former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg used a 60 Minutes interview to attack Angus Taylor's leadership, claiming the Liberal Party faces an "existential" threat and polling at an "all-time low."
- New Redbridge polling released Sunday shows just 22 per cent of surveyed voters prefer Taylor as prime minister, trailing both Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and One Nation's Pauline Hanson.
- Despite the attack, Taylor publicly welcomed Frydenberg back into the fold, while Frydenberg's recently released memoir has fueled rumors of a political comeback.
- On Monday, independent Kooyong MP Monique Ryan dismissed the former treasurer's potential candidacy, stating, "I'm not bothered either way," noting voters previously rejected him over climate policy.
- With the next election 18 months away, Frydenberg has not closed the door on a comeback, though any candidacy would first require him to win a preselection contest.
