As an Australian taxpayer, I am concerned about the individuals we welcome into our nation. The character and conduct of a person should, in every conceivable circumstance, align with our societal values and norms. Donald Trump, the current United States President, is a figure who I strongly believe does not meet this benchmark. His history as a convicted felon undeniably stains his character, not to mention the multiple sexual assault cases brought against him - both leave room for deep concern. I cannot, in good faith, support my taxes contributing to a system that grants such individuals validation and credibility.

Australia denies visitor visas on character grounds as part of the character test under the Migration Act 1958. A crucial aspect of this test is whether the individual in question has a substantial criminal record. As Mr. Trump is a convicted felon, his eligibility could potentially be questioned under this policy (Ref: Official Australian Government Migration Act 1958).

Therefore, I urge the Australian government to exercise this component of our immigration laws and signal that Donald Trump is unwelcome into Australia based on these grounds. Please sign this petition to affirm our standards of character and ensure the people we welcome echo our values and societal expectations.
