Has Lindsay Fox flipped his script?

The Linfox founder has always been thought of as dyed in the wool of Labor and even described as the party’s go-to billionaire when Dan Andrews was in government.

So there were plenty walking the mean streets of Toorak this week perplexed at the great big giant billboard placed on the fence of his sprawling Eulinya estate on Irving Rd, promoting none other than Liberal candidate for Kooyong Amelia Hamer.

Hamer is the 31-year-old Oxford-educated grand-niece of former Victorian premier Sir Rupert “Dick” Hamer, and won preselection to become the Liberal Party’s candidate for Josh Frydenberg’s former seat of Kooyong.

She will take on Kooyong independent Monique Ryan, with no Labor candidate for the seat.

“He must hate the Teals as much as everyone else,” scoffed one walkerby to Page 13.
