fair points Jim... but I don't agree that we've seen the true Frydenberg. as always in parties, the leader sets the game up and all are expected to toe the line, to work/speak within the limits set by the leader. as such Frydenberg did some appalling things, such as interfering with the independence of the RBA by forcing Lowe to recant his calls for fiscal stimulus from Gov after Lowe had been reducing interest rates to "emergency levels" to prop up the failing economy.
Frydenberg called Lowe into his office and carpeted him, forcing him to repeat after F. "The economy is strong" - making Lowe lie as Morrison had been lying about the strength of our weak economy in 2018/19.
would Frydenberg be any different as leader? I think so.
ps. Constance is a weak player, as are so many of the Libs..... he made good use of the bushfires to prop up his profile.
