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!

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.

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.

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):

👉 then number 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 box 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦.

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.

A huge thankyou to all my BlueSky friends, for getting me to 1,000 followers!

We're trying to do things a little differently on here, adding humour to the mix of policies and politics. And what do you know? It's working! 🎉🙏

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 ...

About Libs Against Nuclear, whose head was, per News Ltd, never a Lib member:
✳️ The article concedes LAN's spokesman "is a former Lib director"/its website seeks input from Lib members, past & present;

Our preferential voting system, explained with the use of ... schooners of beer! How relatable! ⤵️

Moral of the story:
✳️ Preferences matter, even if you vote for an outside chance!
✳️ Number every square (after 1️⃣ for me, of course!)

Does Labor's housing policy help young people own their own homes sooner?

✳️ Guaranteeing 15 percent of your deposit sounds good ... but will it drive up prices by growing demand?
✳️ 100,000 new houses is great news, if it happens.

Yes, Dutton ‘verballed’ Indonesia over Russia's reported request to base its aircraft 1400km from Darwin. Their Defence Minister, today: that report was "absolutely untrue"*.

'Verballing' over an unconfirmed report for electoral gain is a Trump trait. Dutton is unfit for office

Yesterday, I tried to explain that both Lib-Lab housing policies would drive up prices.⤵️

I used sombre analysis. What I 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 have used is humour! 😅
Here's Chris Kohler: 𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒊𝒅𝒔 (which are all Lib-Lab have to offer) are supposed to help, not do ... this. 🤷
