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

This week, the #Liberal Shadow Minister for Home Ownership could not offer more than a slogan when asked why #negativegearing and capital gains tax incentives for #housing should remain. (abc.net.au/listen/program…) My housing policy priorities are here: veritycooper.com.au/priority_cost #auspol

Team Verity 🩵’s to Wobble! … but it’s our excitement about having an independent voice for #Sturt in Canberra that gets us up early each morning to do this! Enthusiasm. Passion. Energy. Vote 1️⃣ Dr Verity Cooper for a strong voice for Sturt in our Parliament. #IndependenceWorks #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

You’ve read my policy priorities on my website, but would still like to know more about me? This InDaily article will help. #VoteIndeoendent #Sturt #SturtVotes #OurFuture www.indailysa.com.au/news/in-dept...

Our campaign is based on the values of truth, integrity, inclusiveness and kindness. These will also be my guiding values if you elect me to represent #Sturt in Canberra. Let’s do politics differently. Vote 1️⃣ Dr Verity Cooper - for a new way. #IndependenceWorks #SturtVotes #auspol #ourfuture

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.

The Liberal party is preferencing One Nation ahead of every other party in almost every seat in the country. A vote for Peter Dutton is a preference for Pauline Hanson. #Goldsteinvotes #auspol

'A parliament that has intelligent, compassionate and committed individuals sitting on th[e] crosssbench ... works harder.' - Kylea Tink Fran Kelly interviews 3 former independent MPs who respond to common misconceptions and affirm that independence works. Vote 1 VC! www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

So, what if Saturday delivers a minority goverment? - ABC listen

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.

On Monday I took part in ABC Radio's election forum. Other #Sturt candidates & I discussed Portrush Rd, 4 year terms, and I shared my views on a need for greater integrity & truth in political advertising. Listen to my contribution from 37:30 at: abc.net.au/listen/program… (Photo: ABC Adelaide)

Two key messages: 1. Saturday offers greater choice than the major parties. 2. Your vote is powerful when you use it carefully. Frustrated with politics? Vote 1 Dr Verity Cooper for meaningful change in #Sturt. Independence works. And drives you further. www.instagram.com/reel/DI-zd8E...

I recently joined a panel discussing 'Living on a Warming Planet - Climate Action Solutions' in Fullarton. So many poignant questions & energy for #change. Change that starts with your vote for me on Saturday. My Climate Action Plan at www.veritycooper.com.au/priority_cli.... #Sturt #auspol🌏🌎🌍

#Sturt is clearly in play and a key seat to watch: Patricia Karvelas & Casey Briggs in today's #PoliticsNow podcast episode (see 19 min mark). Community. Integrity. Trust. Vote 1 for Dr Verity Cooper to turn Sturt independent from the major parties. #auspol #auspol2025 shorturl.at/hdoVt

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👇
