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".

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.
