The people of Kooyong ‘deserve’ to know ‘who they’re actually voting for’: Frydenberg

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says independent candidate for Kooyong Dr Monique Ryan is a “former long-standing member of the Labor Party”.

“Something she sought to conceal when she was asked on radio about her political background – she said she had none,” he told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood.

He said after Dr Ryan left Labor, she was making social media posts promoting the party, which is “not the sign of someone who is truly independent”.

“The people of Kooyong deserve to know what they’re actually voting for and what that person would do in the event of a hung parliament.”
