Are you angry at receiving texts from a party of 🎺s? I’m told texts from parties are exempt from the Spam & the Do Not Call Register Acts at election time. I will fight to bring greater integrity to election campaign laws, incl. truth in political advertising. Vote 1️⃣ Dr Verity Cooper in #Sturt

A campaign like mine is about so much more than just the candidate - it’s about remarkable community members who step forward in hope for change. One of our team, Arthur, today posted the attached to express his reasons for contributing to this campaign. Thank you, Arthur! #VoteIndependent

In a sign that the Liberals are desperately worried in #Sturt, they’re preferencing Family First and One Nation above @drveritycooper.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social. A very good example of how far from John Howard’s broad church the current SA Liberals have become.

At prepolling in #Sturt, quite a few people are horrified at the preferences that are being suggested. Liberal James Stevens’ decision to preference One Nation and Family First in particular isn’t going down well at all.

Be wary with the Labor Party’s #Medicare vote-grabbing policy. It won’t work. As a GP in #Sturt, I have 35 years of first hand experience in primary #healthcare, & will hold both parties accountable for workable solutions. My healthcare priorities: www.veritycooper.com.au/priority_hea... #auspol

Sturt issues are federal issues — I’ll take them to Parliament instead of a party room. Sturt is my community. I’ve lived & raised my family here. As a GP, I’ve worked with Sturt residents for decades. I know the local issues you care about - because I care about them too. Vote1️⃣ Dr Verity Cooper

Are climate change concerns leading you to vote Green on Saturday? If so, don’t forget that the Bob Brown Foundation has also endorsed my Climate Action policies, which you can read here: www.veritycooper.com.au/priority_cli... Vote 1️⃣ Dr Verity Cooper for strong advocacy for Climate Action!

Liberals are also preferencing One Nation Number 3 in Sturt. A vote for James Stevens is a vote in support of Pauline Hanson. Following the Liberal How-To-Vote in the Senate will also do so. Instead, go your own way. Vote independent. Vote 1️⃣ Dr Verity Cooper for an inclusive voice in Sturt.

Australians are very good at voting for Independents. At the last election nearly one third of us gave an independent or minor party our first preference.

As we wind down from the Easter break, I hope you had a chance to share (and receive) some kindness from family and friends. Easter's a great time to do something thoughtful for someone else - even a small act can brighten someone's day. ☀️

Work From Home, cuts to public services, nuclear power and that suddenly-awkward affinity with Trump. I never thought Peter Dutton 𝒉𝒂𝒅 any ideas to back away from! Is #Sturt MP James Stevens flip-flopping in unison? Trust Dan Ilic and @itsnotarace2025.bsky.social to come up with the perfect meme:

This election is your chance to send a clear message: we're ready for real representation - someone who puts the people of #Sturt ahead of billionaires or lobbyists. 🩵 On election day (or at pre-poll): 👉🏾 Write a 1️⃣ next to COOPER, Verity 👉 then number 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 box 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦. #auspol

She's awfully quiet about it at the moment (polls bad, Senator?) but Liberal Michaelia Cash can't wait to bring Trump/Musk's unique blend of slash-and-burn chaos here. This is what Dutton and Cash want for us, #Sturt voters ... no matter how tongue-tied they've suddenly become. youtu.be/jQd4C_ymgtM

My Take on Lib-Lab Housing/Rental plans: 🏘️🤔 🔵Lib: no 💰 for new homes; first home buyers claiming tax breaks on mortgage interest sends prices🚀 🔴Lab: 100k new homes ✅ but will growing the First Home Buyer Scheme have the same 💲🚀 effect? 🩵Let‘s vote for common sense. Let‘s vote for better. 🎞Part 1👇

Liberals Against Nuclear have upset a few people on the right of the dial ... but their position makes sense! Here's another of their ads, just to tweak the tail: ⤵️ Who wants nuclear policies adding $665 to power bills? #Sturt MP James Stevens, you and your boss are awfully quiet on this lately ...
