Life of Brian | #36 Josh Frydenberg – Former Australian Treasurer

Life of Brian

This week Brian and Harrison kick things off by talking footy, covering; the AFL mid-season draft, BT’s top 3 storylines at the mid-way point of the season and discuss if the level of talent was better in 2004 or today in 2024. They also review last week’s episode with Dyl Buckley and hit the mailbag.

Next, the boys are joined by Former Australian Treasurer & Deputy leader of the Liberal Party, Josh Frydenberg. The chat covers Josh’s promising tennis career BT, his passion for the Carlton Blues and their mutual love of Lorne. They then discuss Josh’s professional life, from excelling in the academic realm, his time in the private sector and pathway into politics. The boys quiz Josh on what life is like in Parliament, sacrifices made, stories from his impressive career and his thoughts on the state of the country and the world.

Finally, they address a conversation that is very close to Josh’s heart and means a lot to his community. Josh is a proud Jewish man and has made the brave decision to use his profile and voice as a device for change, he has just released a powerful new documentary called ‘Never Again: The Fight Against Anti-Semitism’. The documentary investigates the devastating impact of antisemitism on Australia and delivers a message of warning and a plea to come together to stamp out the issue in our community. We thank Josh for his time and his commitment to making Australia a better place for all.
