After Donald Trump Jr. announced his tour of Australia with British arch-conservative leader Nigel Farage to bring their right-wing ideas directly to Australians, an online petition called for the ex-U.S. president’s son to be banned from the country.

The petition got 3400 signatures in its first few hours.

“I do not want this racist American here yelling his divisive politics at us,” wrote one person.

“I don’t want the hatred and the lies that the Trump family and MAGA spread in Australia,” another person wrote.

Right-wing Australian senator, Alex Antic, announced he would join Trump Jr. and Farage. 

The conference will focus on conservative themes. The three men will be discussing topics that include the Ukrainian and Russian War, the relationship between China and Australia, the relationship between the U.S. and China, and the AUKUS deal, which provides nuclear submarines to Australia. 

Trump Jr. additionally announced that he plans on talking about cancel culture and the danger of “woke identity politics,” which he believes to be important issues in Australia and other Western countries. 

The tour will take place in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Farage joined the conference because he claims that people in Australia have approached him in search of a more conservative leadership in Australia. He has said that people in Australia are paying more attention to politics now in a post-covid world.

The senator is known for complaining about the way Australia dealt with Covid-19. He voted in favor of the Covid-19 Vaccination Status bill. This bill forbids discrimination based on vaccination status. 

Trump Jr. faces legal problems in New York, where the state attorney general is trying to have him banned from working in the state for life for a pattern of “illegal behavior” while running the Trump Organization.

Antic is a senator representing an area in Adelaide in South Australia and has been in office since 2019.

Farage is a British politician who led the far right-wing United Kingdom Independence Party from 2006 until 2009 and from 2010 until 2016. He created the Brexit Party in 2019 with Catherine Blaiklock. He is known for his anti-immigrant views.
