High profile Liberal candidate who pitched herself as a renter admits she owns two properties | Australian election 2025

Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer, who has positioned herself as a renter to resonate with young voters in Melbourne’s Kooyong, has revealed she owns two apartments in Canberra and London. Despite her opposition to apartment developments in her suburb, claiming people prefer houses, her status as a landlord has been criticized by rival Monique Ryan for misleading voters. Hamer aims to reclaim the seat for the Coalition after losing it in 2022, with a focus on making home ownership more accessible for young Australians.
