Former treasurer Josh Frydenberg says he is not rushing back into politics and supports the candidate his party has chosen to contest his former Melbourne seat, after controversy swirled around the Liberal Party and its treatment of female candidates.

Last week, the ABC reported that Frydenberg was mulling a return to politics after draft redistribution changes shifted the margins of his old electorate, making Kooyong more winnable for the Liberals.

But the Liberal Party had already picked a candidate to contest the seat: 31-year-old Amelia Hamer was pre-selected for the Melbourne seat in late March.

Mate! Nobody cares. In fact: Left, right, independent? Canberra is an elitist inner circle playing revolving door, merry go round with our future. You fix nothing and sit in the parliament bitching at each other like immature teenagers playing the blame game.

I cannot fathom why a woman a year younger than me would want anything to do with the Liberal party.

But given the area she's running in it gives you a good idea of her background and upbringing.
