Frydenberg 2.0 presents a problem for the Liberals

A faction in Kooyong has started to agitate for Mr Josh Frydenberg to be the Liberal candidate in this seat. The current selected candidate, Amelia Hamer, won the right to be the candidate with a large majority vote nine weeks ago. Will we next hear that she has “generously” stepped aside for Mr Frydenberg? Being a woman, she must know what action is expected of her.

Josh Frydenberg says he will not contest his former seat of Kooyong at the next federal election.
