Josh Frydenberg says Liberal Party faces an existential threat
Frydenberg says Angus Taylor's leadership has contributed to Liberal polling at an all-time low.
Former treasurer Josh Frydenberg criticised Angus Taylor's leadership in a 60 Minutes interview. Frydenberg said Taylor's leadership had contributed to Liberal polling being at an all-time low.
Frydenberg said the party faces an existential threat and things have to change. Excerpts from his memoir have fuelled rumours that he is planning to make a political comeback.
Frydenberg said he had not closed the door, and that the next election is 18 months away. Redbridge polling found just 22 per cent of those surveyed wanted Angus Taylor as prime minister.
The same poll had 32 per cent backing Anthony Albanese and 26 per cent backing Pauline Hanson. Frydenberg lost his Kooyong seat to independent Monique Ryan at the 2022 election.
- 12 years, from 2010
- Kooyong tenure
- Almost 53 per cent, two-party preferred
- Ryan's 2022 share
- 18 months away
- Next election
- 22 per cent, Redbridge polling
- Taylor as prime minister
Why it mattersAngus Taylor needs big swings in the polls to win, and the next election is 18 months away.
AustraliaVoters could see new Liberal policies if Frydenberg returns, since his memoir is likely to include policy suggestions.
