May 9, 2019

Cutting his parliamentary teeth in the Tony Abbott opposition of the 43rd Parliament, Josh Frydenberg could be excused for thinking that with a blue-ribbon seat and a bit of judicious backing in the leadership spills he was set for life.

Playtime is over as @malleeray gets the message out there: @davelennonabc reports on #MalleeVotes
