Liberal candidate for Kooyong Amelia Hamer’s new posters take cheeky swipe at Monique Ryan

Liberal candidate for Kooyong Amelia Hamer is using the removal of her posters by rival Monique Ryan’s husband to her advantage, poking fun at the debacle in new campaign material.

Liberal candidate for Kooyong Amelia Hamer has taken a cheeky dig at independent rival Monique Ryan after her husband was caught pulling down her rivals posters late last month.

An image shared on Liberal Party social media shows a second sign now being placed next to the original poster of Ms Hamer that reads “Monique, please DO NOT take this sign!”.

Peter Jordan, the husband of Teal MP Monique Ryan, was filmed carrying a large Amelia Hamer poster down the street after he had removed it.

He claimed in the video that the sign was illegally put up and “anyone can take it down” saying if another appeared in its place it would be “taken down again”.

Mr Jordan later changed his tune offering up an apology for the act.

“I unreservedly apologise for removing the sign — it was a mistake,” he said.

“I believed the sign was illegally placed but I should have reported my concerns to the council.”

Ms Ryan also apologised for the removal of the sign saying “it should not have happened”.

The Liberals must be hoping the new sign for Ms Hamer will make anyone think twice before removing them, with a number of signs disappearing or being damaged in the electorate.
