澳大利亚前联邦财政部长乔什·弗莱登伯格（Josh Frydenberg）与吉迪恩·海格（Gideon Haigh）合著的自传《感恩之子》（A Grateful Son）已由哈珀柯林斯出版社（HarperCollins）出版 1。这部作品被评论界视为弗莱登伯格寻求重返权力核心的宣言，他在书中阐述了一套不同于现任自由党领导层的中间派政策愿景，主张反对仅依赖区域和远郊席位获胜的政治策略，并提出回归权力的“更好方式” 1。
在具体的政策立场上，弗莱登伯格虽然主张削减政府开支但未指明具体领域，同时提倡由联邦负责残疾支持、州负责儿童保育 1。他明确表示“负扣税不应是神圣不可侵犯的”，并支持就提高商品及服务税（GST）税率进行全国辩论 1。尽管承认气候变化真实存在，但他将“净零排放”承诺降级为一种“雄心”，同时认为澳大利亚成为共和国既不可避免又值得向往 1。此外，弗莱登伯格还批评了前总理莫里森在疫情期间私下任命自己担任五个部长职位的行为，指出这破坏了责任政府原则 1。
拥有牛津大学与哈佛大学求学经历、律师和银行家背景以及职业网球运动员履历的弗莱登伯格，在书中透露了他的未来计划 1。他表示将在2027年初之前决定是否寻求自由党提名，以试图夺回库永（Kooyong）选区的席位 1。
Former Australian federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has released his debut autobiography, A Grateful Son, co-authored with Gideon Haigh and published by HarperCollins 1. The book is interpreted as a strategic declaration of intent to re-enter the political arena, positioning Frydenberg as a distinct voice within the Liberal Party 1. In it, he outlines a moderate policy vision that diverges from the current leadership, advocating for a return to power through means other than relying solely on regional and outer-suburban seats 1. Frydenberg stated that he will decide whether to seek the Liberal nomination to reclaim the Kooyong electorate before early 2027 1.
On fiscal matters, Frydenberg proposes reducing government spending without specifying particular areas, while suggesting that the federal government should take responsibility for disability support and states should handle childcare 1. His tax stance includes assertions that negative gearing should not be considered "sacrosanct" and supports a national debate on raising the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate 1. Regarding climate change, he acknowledges its reality but downgrades the commitment to "net zero" emissions to an "ambition" 1. He also describes Australia becoming a republic as both inevitable and desirable 1.
The memoir provides insight into Frydenberg’s relationship with former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, specifically criticizing Morrison’s private appointment to five ministerial portfolios during the pandemic as a breach of responsible government principles 1. Beyond politics, the book details Frydenberg’s diverse personal background, which includes studies at Oxford University and Harvard, careers in law and banking, and experience as a professional tennis player 1.
