"When George Mamalis started an Instagram account a decade ago, it was filled
with beaches, sunsets, cute dogs and aesthetically pleasing food shots.
Now, the page is dedicated almost entirely to culture war material and Mamalis
is a cog in Australia’s rightwing ecosystem.
He is a leader in the Australian branch of Christian firebrand Charlie Kirk’s
Turning Point. That branch’s national director, Joel Jammal, says the
organisation was set up on the recommendation of Reform UK’s leader, Nigel
Farage, with the blessing of Kirk.
Turning Point Australia says it is expanding, opening chapters across Australia
and aiming to move into schools and universities and to sway the outcome of
elections."
