Former treasurer and ousted member for Kooyong Josh Frydenberg is continuing his book-promotion and comeback-to-politics tour. He appeared on 7:30 last night, again raising the possibility of his return to frontline politics. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing The Guardian.

His memoir, A Grateful Son, is the Trojan Horse that legitimises questions like: “Do you think you’d make a good prime minister?”

“Look, I haven’t closed the door to reentering politics,” Frydenberg reiterated. “That would involve running for a seat, winning it, joining the party room and then proceeding after that. So there are a lot of steps.”

He told host Sarah Ferguson that “if I was to run, it would be at the next election”, but insisted “it’s not a decision that I have taken”.

Full marks for persistence, Ferguson tried again: “Do you have what it takes to lead the country?”

Frydenberg: “Look, I think it’s important to know what you believe in, and I certainly do, to have policy ideas that can take the country in the right direction, and to be consistent with the philosophy and the values of our great party, and that’s what I articulate in the book.”

These statements further fuel long-standing speculation about Frydenberg's return to the political arena. He has made similar statements several times before. However, he noted that he has not made a final decision and that the process involves several steps.

Frydenberg's words may reignite discussions about his place within the party and in Australian politics more broadly. His memoir, A Grateful Son, as a political autobiography, aims to share his views and experiences.

In the 7:30 interview, he reaffirmed his commitment to his political philosophy and the party's values. According to Frydenberg, he still believes in ideas that can take the country in the right direction.

This interview was an important moment in his attempts to answer questions about the future of his political career. He did not rule out the possibility of running for election, but also did not make specific promises.

Frydenberg's memoir and political tour continue the discussion about the possibility of his return. His interview on the 7:30 program was one of the latest statements on this topic.
