Protesters in Melbourne are calling for action against President Donald Trump’s policies, particularly his corporate influence, discriminatory practices, and stance on the Gaza situation. As Trump returns to power, activists in Australia are concerned about the implications for U.S. foreign policy and Australia’s involvement in the AUKUS defense pact. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has criticized Trump’s imposition of a 10% tariff on Australian goods, denouncing it as an unfriendly move. Additionally, debates continue over distributing the Goods and Services Tax (GST), with some states, like Western Australia, receiving a disproportionate share, raising concerns about fairness in fiscal policies.
