The Australian affiliate of late right-wing activist Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA is moving into South Australia ahead of next year's state election, but some politicians say the group is "out of step with mainstream values".

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”.
