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".

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.

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.

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.
