Australian politics live: Taylor defends CV after Hanson dubs him a ‘smarmy management consultant’
Australian shadow treasurer Tim Wilson has expressed lukewarm support for a potential political return by former treasurer Josh Frydenberg. Wilson emphasized that any such return would occur under the leadership of current Liberal leader Angus Taylor.
Why it matters
Internal party dynamics and leadership speculation are critical to understanding the political landscape and future government stability in Australia.
Tim Wilson lukewarm on Josh Frydenberg’s possible return to politics
The shadow treasurer, Tim Wilson , is pretty lukewarm on a potential Josh Frydenberg return to parliament and hints the former treasurer would have to sit within the pecking order.
Wilson is pretty adamant on RN Breakfast that any political resurrection would be under the Liberals’ current leader Angus Taylor .
He speaks pretty broadly on the question, and says he has “no issue with people putting themselves forward” – it’s not exactly a warm welcome.
double quotation mark I think it’s always good to have candidates who want to step up and run and make sure we pick up seats so that Angus Taylor can be prime minister of this country.
