He was born in Nouméa.

He was elected President of that collectivity by the territorial Congress (Congrès du territoire) on 5 April 2001, reelected in November 2002 when the government collapsed following the resignation of a minister, and left office on 10 June 2004, when a new government was elected after his party, the anti-independence The Rally–UMP, lost parliamentary elections.

When the new government collapsed, Frogier ran for president in elections two weeks later, on 24 June 2004, in which he was defeated, received 4 of the 11 votes in Congress.

He was elected second time as President of the Congress of New Caledonia from 2007 to 2009.{{Cite web |url=http://www.congres.nc/assemblee/son-histoire/le-congres-de-caledonie/?panel=0 |title=Le Congrès de Nouvelle-Calédonie - Le président |access-date=2019-02-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190203090821/http://www.congres.nc/assemblee/son-histoire/le-congres-de-caledonie/?panel=0 |archive-date=2019-02-03 |url-status=dead }}
