Libs candidate Amelia Hamer keeps her cool as nude photo resurfaces

The Kooyong seat is the place to watch this election, with a ruthless battle over campaign posters, but it’s the Liberal toffs of Melbourne’s southeast getting excited over a barely there image of Amelia Hamer from her university days.

Who needs enemies when your friends are circulating around old pictures of you?

The Kooyong seat is becoming the place to watch this election, with billboard fences a game of guess who and a ruthless battle over campaign posters.

So we wouldn’t have been wrong in thinking the Teals were shopping around old photographs of their opponents.

But turns out it is the Liberal toffs of Melbourne’s southeast getting titillated over an old image of Amelia Hamer from her Oxford University days.

Hamer has already become one of the most recognised faces of the tight election campaign, but this is casting her in a new light.

The Liberal candidate for Kooyong, millennial renter and financier was on the editorial team of the uni newspaper the Oxford Student, colloquially known as The OxStu, more than a decade ago.

Each term the team would take an amusing photo together and publish it on their front page to encourage people to join the paper.

Hamer was 20 at the time when the team got down to bare basics, looking positively bookish strewn on a couch. Hamer was dangling some grapes in her hand, with just the newspaper to cover her modesty.

The resurfaced picture may in fact help her along. Who can forget that shirtless ripped physique of now more popular than ever SA Premier Peter Malinauskas taking a quick dip in the run-up to their election and giving new meaning to the term “hard Labor” and had not just his policies getting the more fickle of voters talking.

We digress.

In fact Hamer assures the Herald Sun she intends to remain fully clothed in all photographs distributed as part of her federal election campaign.

Now that’s what we call a good sport.
