They have also been strong donors to the Liberals so being a "proud member" is sending a BIG message about who she's most likely to give confidence and supply to: Dutton.

Katie McCusker will vote for climate action.

I trust Verity Cooper to TELL US she will vote for climate action. But, being a "proud member" of one of the most prominent families in the SA Liberal Party saps my confidence she will vote for climate action.

Doesn’t sound very independent.

That's very disappointing. I didn't know about the Cooper family connection, but I guess she doesn't have to share their terrible political leanings. Will see what she has to say in the coming weeks.

Yes. Be careful. Prob a Lib in disguise. Interesting to know who she would preference.

I'm a swing voter, not going to lie, this post makes me less comfortable with the Greens than the Independent candidate. It feels full of assumptions.

I've been a rusted on Labor voter, not a swinger, so it's probably natural that, as I move to first preferencing a non-major, I'm full of questions about how Liberal-friendly this liberal independent is likely to be.

The Coopers family pride freaks me out given their strong Liberal alignment ...

unabla.bsky.social•33 days ago

... but I get it that there will be (small l) liberals who are not freaked out by closeness to Liberals.

I won't be TPPing Stevens and won't be first preferencing Clutterham.

I thought Dr Cooper was a greens member formerly?

unabla.bsky.social•33 days ago

You're right, she was a former member of the Green Party.

unabla.bsky.social•33 days ago

She says she left due to the Greens trying to ammend Labor housing bills (which they did, in the end, vote for when Albo's 'no amendments' crash or crash through approach crashed through):

c9d46.bsky.social•33 days ago

I don't hear that very often 🤣

c9d46.bsky.social•33 days ago

Understood, I haven't met any candidate yet, Dr Cooper may have her own ideals and beliefs though, it will be interesting to hear from her (and the Greens)
