Kooyong candidate Monique Ryan's family is again in the spotlight, after her brother made a series of posts critical of her opponent, including labelling Treasurer Josh Frydenberg 'poisonous'.

The independent seeking to oust Josh Frydenberg has distanced herself from comments her brother levelled at the Treasurer, in which he was described as a "poisonous shit" .Josh Frydenberg and Monique Ryan are in an increasingly bitter battle in the once-safe Liberal seat

She has condemned comments her brother made just hours after Dr Ryan called on Mr Frydenberg to keep their families out of the electionMonique Ryan was calling on Mr Frydenberg to keep their families out of their increasingly bitter battleDr Ryan criticised Mr Frydenberg for sharing a story during his campaign launch about an exchange with her mother-in-law where she said she would vote for him.

Dr Ryan's brother, Alan Ryan, previously worked with Mr Frydenberg and was until recently a senior official in the Department of Defence. "An obsequious panderer, he moved from adviser to parliament. He inherited the safest seat in the country. And he has squandered that lead. #TimeToGoJosh"On Tuesday Mr Ryan again attacked his sister's opponent, posting "Josh Frydenberg always was a grubby little man" from his now-deleted Twitter account.

She cannot control her family including her mother-in-law, how can she take care of her constituency if she wins? 🙄

On the one hand I agree, on the other I also agree.

This is news? Or sensational titbit drama? Can we have news on Aspen Medical rort ? Whats Colbeck doing to earn his buck lately? coz I don’t see him. Maybe introduce us to some of the independents and hear from them ? Or is is birmo and JoshFrydenberg regular spot today?

Monique's brother is on the money! Mon4Kooyong

Is that all they called him? Bit soft on the pejoratives...

Come on ABC!!!!! Stop turning the fate of our Nation into a Circus!!!

Their ABC running this story just so they could have ‘Josh Frydenberg’ and ‘grubby little man’ in the headline. Dog whistling bias and even racism at its worst. Shame on the ABC

Frydenberg is grubby🤷🏼‍♂️

If Josh is running around insulting his grandmother then it’s likely he deserves being called scum. She needs to rise above it because it’s Josh who has taken this to the gutter and made it personal. This isn’t on her.

I'm with the brother!

JoshFrydenberg keen for constituents to know how Mon's MIL feels about him. Just as important for him and constituents to know how the rest of the family feels about Josh.

We need the public to stand up to these politicians make them accountable in any means possible it’s the only way politicians well listen the public can only take so much it’s getting to an explosive situation in all area of politics society can only take so much

He’s not wrong.

Can't even tell the truth now. Fryenberg tried to use Scouts in his marketing for re-election without authorisation from anyone in the photo- clear breach of Privacy Act and Scouts rules on being non-political; also used CEO of guide dogs against charity laws. He's a grub

Free speech !

Qldaah You know things are bad at the ABC when they get the defence correspondent Andrew Greene to post stories to help out L/NP! By the way, he is a little grub!

I’m pretty sure my siblings aren’t responsible for what I tweet!

a media stunt

This place keeps slipping 😒

Well done you're breaking all the big important stories.

😂😂😂 This poor woman, her family is just shitting all over her campaign.

They’re all poisonous AFAIC

He’s not wrong though.

He’s not wrong though

Is this really news?

It is egregious for a man in position of high status in our country justify his public revelation of exchange with Dr Monique Ryan mother in law 'she told many others about her intention' Yes but no one else made conversation public for political purposes.

Why is this an article? We are not our family.

Monique is WHAT AUSTRALIA NEEDS. Class, intelligence and respect. mo4kooyong 🇦🇺

If the shoe fits ChuckThemOut

We she has class. But brother is saying everything what people are thinking.

Her brother can say what he wants, he isn't the one up for election

So Monique is throwing sand in the sandpit.....

If the shoe fits...

Oh silly. That's one good way of explaining who he is. A shallow sniveling little grinch lacking empathy (a trait) and a suck for the Elsternwick set. So grubby is ok.

He’s right though.

Ffs.. the ABC is dead to me

He has been very grubby he is like his boss scottythebully

So what?

Seriously ? You are now doing the LNP's dirty work? Tell us about the candidates, NOT THEIR FAMILIES!!! ThisIsNotJournalism AuntyHasFallen

But he is...

Who is backgrounding her to the point she is now having to explain away everything her relatives have said/done? This is beyond ridiculous. There are PLENTY of people who feel the same about Frydenburg as her brother. Possibly half of Kooyong for starters! So what? auspol

Hoping Dr Ryan can bring that decency into the Parliament and infect those that are already there. It is a grubby little place on both sides. Parties set to disagree about everything for personal gain . Less about to working together for the good of Australia.

The Labor party roots shines through in that family!

Why is it wrong? He is. What happened to truth in politics.

Sey2S Aspen Medical. That’s the real story

He's a lot worse than that.

Let's see what the word cloud has to say in a day then. Here it is for now ... Auspol

why does she have to. just because he is he brother does not mean she supports what he said. ffs

'obsequious panderer' is far and away the best description I've heard of Frydenburg yet A nothing with no values

Nothing to condemn here: 'This may be the fight of Josh Frydenberg's political life, but it's been a pretty soft life,' 'An obsequious panderer, he moved from adviser to parliament. He inherited the safest seat in the country. And he has squandered that lead. TimeToGoJosh' 1/2

Grubby sounds appropriate!

I'm sure the fact that Joshie has not apologised for attacking her Mother in Law fell off the article when it was posted. I mean context of the grubby behaviour that led to him being called grub is important.

Of course he is

I do get Dr Ryan trying to take the High Moral Ground.....but her brother's assessment isn't incorrect.

Why are you doing this? Josh is a grubby little man. It's her brother,not her.

He didn't say anything that wasn't true.

I’m glad he’s deleted it. His words reflect more poorly on him & his character than the man he’s attacking in Trumpian fashion.

I think you need to look at what constitutes abuse because that was weak.

Frydenberg is a grubby little man though, one of the grubbiest.

Brother's not wrong

Pretty hard to argue with the comment. Josh is totally grubby.

I think we all realize that Frydenberg is a grubby little man

Why? He is.

Something sure went wrong

2022 Election Independent candidates = Cost of power Up, London to a brick. One way to find out, vote for a Independent candidates & Pay more Google: Holmes à Court ‘stands to gain’ from independents

Well, he is a gruby little man

This post pre approved by the liberal media team.

Its true though.

Josh Frydenberg is the most educated currently serving MP. It would be a massive loss to this country if he was voted out.

Ryan concedes relative will vote for FrydenbergIndependent Kooyong challenger Dr Monique Ryan has conceded her mother-in-law intends to vote for incumbent Josh Frydenberg after earlier accusing the Treasurer of misquoting the 87-year-old. thats all we need to know about her then Monique Ryan: “It is beyond the pale that Mr Frydenberg would use my frail 87-year-old mother-in-law as the butt of his jokes for cheap laughs.” Using family members too now Josh? No matter what the cost... win? Repulsive auspol candidate.
