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.

A solution to this problem has been established recently

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

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

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.

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

my guess is because it's the next state election in australia (march 2026)? can't think of another reason for them to choose SA in particular
