BREAKING: Opposition leader Sussan Ley has just announced her strong support for the potential return of former treasurer Josh Frydenberg to federal parliament, stating he would be a valuable asset during a press conference earlier today.
In a powerful endorsement, Ley praised Frydenberg not only for his political legacy but for his commendable response following the recent Bondi terror attack. “He stepped up in an extraordinary way,” Ley said, emphasizing his character and community standing.
Frydenberg, who left politics in 2022 after losing the once-secure Kooyong seat to Teal candidate Dr. Monique Ryan, is reportedly considering a comeback. Ley’s comments come amid growing speculation about his potential candidacy against Ryan in the upcoming elections.
“He was a great loss to the parliament and would be a great addition,” Ley asserted, reflecting on Frydenberg’s significant impact and leadership qualities. Her sentiments resonate strongly within the Liberal Party, where the absence of a representative in Kooyong is keenly felt.
“I’m very sad there is not a Liberal member for Kooyong,” Ley stated, as she outlined her commitment to restoring Liberal representation in Melbourne. The political landscape has shifted since Ryan retained her seat in 2025, where she faced off against Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer.
This urgent call for Frydenberg’s return highlights a crucial moment for the Liberal Party, as they strategize to regain lost ground in key electorates. Ley’s remarks are expected to energize supporters who believe Frydenberg’s experience can help navigate the party through challenging times.
As discussions unfold, all eyes are on Frydenberg to see if he will take the plunge back into the political arena. With the next federal elections on the horizon, his decision could significantly impact the dynamics of the Liberal Party and the broader political landscape in Australia.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as the situation evolves and Frydenberg’s future intentions become clearer.
