At his book launch, Josh Frydenberg says Kooyong decision comes in 2027
Frydenberg lost Kooyong to Monique Ryan in 2022, and many see him as a challenger to Angus Taylor.
Former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says he will wait until 2027 before deciding whether to run for Kooyong. The delay casts a cloud over Angus Taylor's Liberal leadership, as many see Frydenberg as a challenger.
Frydenberg lost Kooyong to independent Monique Ryan in 2022. Winning the seat back will not be easy.
Frydenberg denied the delay was connected to the result of next month's Victorian state election. Frydenberg said personal factors will shape the choice, including that his kids are still young.
Frydenberg launched his book, A Grateful Son, in Sydney with former Prime Minister John Howard.
