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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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. ☀️
