Turning Point Australia is moving into South Australia ahead of next year’s state election. It is the Australian affiliate of late right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA.

On Monday, Turning Point Australia announced the appointment of conservative social media personality George-Alexander Mamalis as its new state coordinator.

Mr Mamalis is an ex-staffer to former environment minister and opposition leader David Speirs, One Nation MLC-turned-independent Sarah Game, and federal Liberal senator Alex Antic.

The appointment, according to Turning Point Australia, marked “the first time in Australia that TPAUS has formally established a state leadership position”.

Weaker minds are easily influenced by charisma and content.

He did, however, say the group was “likely” to spend more than $10,000 at the next state election

I guess they are counting on free runs by News Trash and others to make any impact.

This shit is just embarrassing.

If you want to form a conservative organisation that’s fine, but surely you could… you know… make up your own name? It doesn’t even need to be a good name.

  The name, or rather the brand, is the point. It’s like getting an H&M or a Uniqlo. Turning Point is a trusted, international name in the bigotry business.

Should set up a decoy state. Call it a swing state vital to the election and send all the US nutters there and have them piss fight with themselves

don’t know what they’re expecting, adelaide has been moving more left for a while now, it’s a nicer, calmer, more centre left oriented melbourne

  Heads up, the OP (ikt/eyekaytee) is extremely racist towards Aboriginal Australians and Muslims, as well as being a Zionist who supports the genocide in Gaza.
