[edit]

In March 2024, Hamer was preselected as the Liberal Party candidate for Kooyong, aiming to reclaim the seat after it was won by independent Monique Ryan in 2022.

In April 2025, The Australian reported that Hamer also being considered by Liberal Party leadership as a potential candidate to the Victorian state electoral district of Hawthorn in the event that incumbent John Pesutto is disqualified.[2]
