  "account": "Opposition Leader Angus Taylor expressed his openness to the return of former Liberal treasurer Josh Frydenberg to politics, should he choose to contest a seat in the upcoming federal election. Taylor also backed the Coalition's proposed migration cuts, arguing that a higher-skilled migrant workforce with higher average incomes could balance the budget. The Coalition intends to unveil more details of its migration plan closer to the election. Taylor defended the Coalition's migration policy, stating that it would be budget neutral, despite criticism from various sectors. Frydenberg recently shared excerpts from his upcoming memoir, which detailed his 2016 election defeat, and suggested that the Liberal Party should reclaim the center of politics. Taylor welcomed Frydenberg's potential return, emphasizing that every leader would have a role to play in the election. However, he clarified that the Coalition would not implement Frydenberg's suggestion to raise the GST, maintaining that they would lower taxes instead.",
