Independent challenger Monique Ryan has distanced herself from social media attacks on Josh Frydenberg by her brother.
has distanced herself from social media comments in which her brother described the Treasurer as “a grubby little man” and a “obsequious panderer”.
“An obsequious panderer, he moved from adviser to parliament. He inherited the safest seat in the country. And he has squandered that lead,” Mr Ryan wrote.“We need to clean house, move these non-entities out and get some people who know how to lead.”A spokesman for Dr Ryan said the comments were wrong and inappropriate.“These comments were made by Dr Monique Ryan’s brother who lives overseas and has nothing to do with the campaign,” he said in a statement.
Dr Ryan has suggested her husband’s mother was misquoted and said family members should not be used as the basis of political attacks in the race.“I met a very nice lady on the street who volunteered the fact that she was voting for me, then volunteered the fact that she was Monique Ryan’s mother-in-law.
