Voters will "overlook" political scandals and the Coalition's issue with women at the next election, according to deputy Liberal leader and Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.

The embattled MP reveals he will not recontest the next election shortly after the Deputy Prime Minister said he should be "sorting out his personal issues".
