My Place emerged from the highly vocal Covid-19 anti-lockdown protests. It's a network which reportedly has thousands of members and is predominantly active in Facebook community groups. Some of the ideas that these groups believe are that vaccines are deadly, fluoride in water is dangerous and 5G is a threat. Lately My Place has been taking its ideologies offline and into local government, with some groups allegedly playing a role in supporting candidates in Queensland council elections. So with the Queensland state election coming up in October, what might be the potential impact of groups such as My Place on the polling results?
