I think the battle has only just begun. There's a Turning Point division in South Australia ...

It's always fuckin' South Australia....

Can someone educate me on South Australia? Is that like your American South?

[–] SirActionSack@aussie.zone 5 points 3 days ago (3 children)

No that would be north Queensland.

South Australia is historically quite progressive, seems an odd place to launch a Christian nationalist movement.

[–] Instigate@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah South Australia has done some amazingly progressive things. They were the first jurisdiction in the world to give women the right to vote AND run for parliament in 1894 and when Australia voted No on creating a federal Indigenous Voice to Parliament, they were the first state to set up their own state-based Voice of elected Aboriginal peoples.

Some other progressive firsts:

They were the first Australian colony to accept legal testimony from Aboriginal peoples in 1844; the first part of the British Empire to cut links between church and state in 1851; the first Australian state to give Aboriginal men the right to vote in 1856; the first part of the British Empire to legalise trade unions in 1876; the first Australian state to decriminalise homosexuality in 1975; and the first Australian state to make age-based discrimination illegal in 1991.

I, too, find it really odd that Turning Point has found a hold there. They’ve typically been quite progressive - even their Liberal governments are usually far more progressive than the Libs around the rest of the country.
