Barack Obama, JFK and … Josh Frydenberg: what can a memoir do for an ambitious politician?
By Joshua Black

The former treasurer’s new book will hit shelves soon, but he may learn that memoirs can be blunt instruments for political renewal. Just ask Peter Costello

hmmm 🤔 i’m not sure i would question the religious sincerity of any politician — it seems like a good way to end up in court and, given my own opinions of organised religion, to be overkill

but… found this an interesting article because it reminds us of some of the greatest “achievements” of the morrison/ frydenburg alliance

is frydenburg really planning to resurrect his career as a liberal politician?
god forbid! everytime i hear the name frydenberg i see great swathes of hawthorn defaced with huge frydenberg stickers and i’m reminded that, had my lovely, conservative aunty who lived in hawthorn all her life been alive during that election, she would have voted against him just because what he did was so ugly

apart from everything else about josh and scotty, people who smile all the time make me very nervous

In rehearsal:
John Wayne playing a Roman soldier (leadenly),“Truly, this man was the Son of God.”.

Director: Say it with awe John!

John: "Orrr truly, this man was the Son of God.”

Orrr, amost unbelievable but Anthony Albanese may have learnt something from having appointed a fevent Zionist, Jillian Segal, as special envoy on antisemitism in Australia.

Australia’s key ally has gone rogue – and Trump has us expertly wedged. We need a plan B

Zoe Daniel is a "Teal Independent" who made history by beating former Federal Treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, to become the Federal Member for Goldstein. He couldn't read the room; she can. Zoe Daniel also has extensive experience as a foreign correspondent for the ABC. I think that combination of considering local and global matters gives her excellent insights.

Zoe Daniel's insights in this article are well worth your time, in my opinion. She deftly shows the interrelationships between Trump, Trumpism, Peter Dutton, and Dutton's mindless mimicry of Trump when he talks about DOGE and DEI. Zoe Daniel wants you to think about our values and history, and the regional implications for ANZUS, AUKUS, Five Eyes, NATO's slow and rudimentary action to help defend Ukraine from Russia, and more.

Josh Frydenberg says he won't try to snatch Kooyong pre-selection from Liberal woman
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-03/josh-frydenberg-wont-try-kooyong-political-comeback/103928038

It's telling that Josh Frydenberg thought about it. For a moment, he thought he had a chance of returning to politics, the chance that he'd have a shot at his dream of a LibSpill that would make him leader of the Liberal Party, and a chance of being the next PM. He didn't dismiss the thought the moment it ricocheted between his two braincells. Frydenberg's loyal lackeys told the media to gauge sentiment within the party and the community of Kooyong and let the "What if?" float around for 24 hours like the stench emanating from an unflushable turd.

After Candid Self-Reflection, Liberal Strategists Say Best Person to Replace Rejected Kooyong MP Josh Frydenberg Is … Josh Frydenberg
https://theshovel.com.au/2024/06/03/liberal-strategists-say-best-person-to-replace-rejected-kooyong-mp-josh-frydenberg/

Another kerb-kicker from @theshovel.

In all seriousness, this it a trial-balloon being sent-up to test people's opinions. This kerfuffle shows how divided the Liberal Party are. Factional infighting presents party members with two choices:
- Sexist, racist, old-boys-club, RWNJ wing.
- Old-school Conservative, generational privilege wing.

Those calling for Josh Frydenberg to replace Amelia Hamer as the Liberal candidate for Kooyong think it's okay to break their own party's preselection process, and are harkening-back to the "Good ol' days" of Scott Morrison. They've forgotten that Josh Frydenberg was one of the worst Federal Treasurers in living memory under the leadership of ScottyFromMarketing.

Those calling for Amelia Hamer haven't heard her say a word about policy, but they like her posh Oxford-educated credentials and good family-name. She gets to ride on the coat-tails of her grandfather, Rupert Hamer, the Premier of Victoria from 1972 to 1981.

Neither group is in touch with reality. Dr Monique Ryan won the seat of Kooyong in 2022 with a 2.9 per cent margin. The seat of Kooyong has been considered a safe Liberal seat for generations. It's why it's given to people in important roles such as Treasurer. Monique Ryan beat Josh Frydenberg because he's a fucking idiot and nobody liked his bootlicking of ScottyFromMarketing.

Not enough money in the private sector trough?

@daedalus
Trust the Australian govt to protect us from #scams?

We almost forgot the best bit.

In 2021 when #Fakebook engaged in #massSuppression, blocking #Australia from sharing news, #JoshFrydenberg gave the #digitalFascists an open ticket to #bribe whichever #mediaOutlets in whatever way #Fbook deemed appropriate. The 3-word-slogan, "#FacebookRefriendedAustralia", might be the biggest #scam in Aussie history.

Lastly (for now) the #AFP goes through (read: is MITM'd by) #CloudFlare.

@melissabeartrix
Look no further than the #FacebookRefriendedAustralia story. Australia could have snapped out of the #fakebook trance, but it was decided that #Facebook and #Google would bribe our media, and that was that, the next day it was Parliament House #sexScandal story time.

The #WizardOfOz in #JoshFrydenberg says don't look behind the algorithms and #Australia didn't have a proper debate re #BigTech, because <SEX_SCANDAL>

It was revealed recently that ex-PM #ScottMorrison subverted democratic processes in #Australia during 2021, covertly making himself the minister of five portfolios.

Any claim of other countries being an autocracy are now total hypocrisy.

Let us remind that in February 2021, he (and/or #JoshFrydenberg) gave the green-light to #Fakebook to bribe our legacy #establishmentMedia.

Anyone who labelled us a crank in the past 2 years is #counterintelligence or an idiot.

Act accordingly.

#faCEboOk

Scott Morrison started his concession speech tonight by noticing an ex-PM warCriminal, who worked with the #BushCrimeFamily to severely impair #Australia.

We switched off the speech immediately and turned the music up.

This is, after all, a party.

No warCriminals allowed.

"Hi #Fakebook, we are an #Australian news outlet that makes over $150,000 on news, (not that that is any of your business or anything). Given that what we publish is in the #publicInterest, how about you pay us off, so the things we publish are less in the public interest."

*wink*

Woops, did say that aloud?

@jasper
In related news, according to an #Australian leader, #JoshFrydenberg, "Facebook has re-friended Australia".

Can someone tell the #politicalHack that the #corporateMedia is not "#Australia"…

…and #Facebook is noone's friend.
