George MegalogenisGUEST
He actually showed John Howard, the shadow treasurer, the document before he showed it to the caucus committee, because he wanted Howard on site to be able to support the thing.
George MegalogenisGUEST
And to be able to keep his side, he was deputy obviously to Andrew Peacock at the time, and to stop the Nats from running amok on this sort of stuff.
George MegalogenisGUEST
People don't play politics like that anymore.
George MegalogenisGUEST
Yeah,

Arthur SinodinosGUEST
We spoke mainly about politics and things.
Arthur SinodinosGUEST
He asked me at the end, he said... you're married at that stage I wasn't he said well this job will do nothing for your prospects so I liked his sense of humor so I went to work for him and I stayed there until he lost his job when Andrew Peacock came back as leader in 1989 but to go back to where your question started I think that was the break, going up the hill, getting to know John Howard, because then I came back in the mid-90s to work for him after a stint in Treasury, and that was really The break that sent me on a particular career path into advising and then banking for a while and then into parliament and then into the ambassadorship.
Arthur SinodinosGUEST
And that ended up with me now, at least for now, as you said, living in Washington and doing a number of international business activities.
Arthur SinodinosGUEST
So that was, I think, the break, the trajectory

Josh FrydenbergGUEST
I had the opportunity to work in his office and learn so much.
Josh FrydenbergGUEST
He was one of two referees for my successful pre-selection, uh, alongside Andrew Peacock.
Josh FrydenbergGUEST
And then in politics he was a mentor, and I consulted him before I ran for the deputy leadership, as well as during COVID when we were announcing major economic initiatives like JobKeeper.
Josh FrydenbergGUEST
And then since politics, he's been a friend.
Josh FrydenbergGUEST
Yeah, there was a, a few conversations that are reported back in, in the book a- about the ambition, because we grew up in Kooyong, so that was, um, the natural place to, to one day represent.
Josh FrydenbergGUEST
Uh, it was also a seat that is known as the jewel in the Liberal Party crown, and famous names like Sir Robert Menzies and Andrew Peacock have held that seat.
Josh FrydenbergGUEST
Um, but I had ambitions for, for politics.
Josh FrydenbergGUEST
I had ambitions for tennis, but as I realized with the latter, um, my, my ambitions were far greater than my talents.
