Turning Point Australia moves into SA, ahead of state election
www.abc.net.au
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”.

    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

      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.

          Sure thing, I’ll refrain from doing it in your community or instance going forward.

          I know of multiple people who have reported this user previously, so what would my report achieve?

                  I just reported two that I could remember from your instance.

                  I also made this list yesterday. The whole thread is actually all about the user in question, so I think there’s some other posts by others that might showcase their character better.
