FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Liberal powerbroker Michael Kroger has defended his claims that Peter Costello sought a return to politics and urged the former treasurer to “move on”.
Mr Kroger said there was no doubt Mr Costello, his best friend for three decades, asked for his help to get back into federal politics, during a lunch in Melbourne.
He said Mr Costello was keen to take the seat of Kooyong, but Mr Kroger said sitting MP Josh Frydenberg was a “star in the making” and suggested instead the seats held by Mr Costello’s former staffers, Higgins and Casey.
Mr Costello has denied Mr Kroger’s claims.
Mr Kroger told ABC Radio in Melbourne he was sick of Mr Costello’s criticism of past and present Liberal Party MPs.
“After 35 years of being Peter’s best friend and support, even I’ve had enough, even I’m at my wits’ end with Peter,” he said.
“There comes a point that people have to move on.
“But for five years he’s been like a bear with a terribly sore head, with a migraine headache, attacking everyone and sundry.
“People have just had enough of his criticism.”
Mr Kroger stood by his claims that Mr Costello wanted to return to politics, and said the former treasurer’s denial of that could be because “he puts a different interpretation on what he said”.
“I’ve got a very clear focus, I know what happened, I know the date, I know where it was, it was in Melbourne, it was late October,” he said.
Mr Kroger said he later received a call from one of Mr Costello’s former staffers “to have a go at me”, which showed someone else knew about the conversation.
Federal Liberal leader Tony Abbott denied the feud between the pair would impact on how the party performed in Victorian seats, where they are both powerful figures.
“Michael and Peter are both friends of mine, I gather there’s a bit of a disagreement. I hope it’s resolved as soon as possible,” Mr Abbott said on ABC radio in Melbourne.
“I don’t believe that a falling out between two good people is material for the running of the alternative government of our country.”
