Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, who spoke to his former cabinet colleague on Thursday, wished him well in the next stage of his career. “He’s a young man still, and hopefully can work his way back into public life at some point,” Dutton said.Frydenberg was elected to parliament in 2010 and served in several senior positions, including as minister for environment and energy, before becoming treasurer in 2018.Credit:Goldman Sachs said Frydenberg would focus on “deepening and strengthening client coverage across the Australia and New Zealand region”.
“He will continue to offer advice on economic and geopolitical issues as the firm’s senior regional adviser for Asia Pacific,” it said.“It’s great to see leaders from the public sector like Josh transition to leadership roles in the private sector,” Woolworths chair Scott Perkins told AAP.
