Josh and the giant squid: Frydenberg heads to Goldman Sachs (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Josh Frydenberg has a new job, but that doesn't rule out a return to politics for the ambitious former treasurer.

On Thursday night, under the baton of Simone Young, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s return to their resurrected spiritual home drew a star-studded guest list. Scomo’s former head of strategy and research Dave “not Hughesy” Hughes has stuck around too, landing a senior role in Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s office. While Kooyong might not be ready for a second coming in three years, Frydenberg’s office space sits in the neighbouring seat of Higgins, another former Liberal stronghold snatched by Labor’s Michelle Ananda-Rajah in May. But the margin is only 2.1 per cent. Watts previously worked for Arnotts, Qantas, Jetstar, had six years with Albanese from 2007-13 when Labor was last in government. It’s no real secret that Frydenberg is open to a return to politics: plenty of Liberals want him back, and a lifetime of ambition doesn’t evaporate overnight. Her pick, campaigner, activist and author Sally Rugg has quite the progressive bona fides.
