Growing up in a community where every voice matters, I have always believed in the importance of standing up for those who feel unheard. It is with this spirit that I write to you today, on behalf of countless Australians who are deeply concerned about the proposed construction of Trump Tower in Queensland, Australia.

For many, the name Trump is synonymous with a past marked by divisive politics, actions that have often been viewed as exploitative, and a rhetoric that emphasizes greed and polarization over unity and community well-being. The proposed Trump Tower is seen not just as another building, but as a looming symbol of these very values—a stark contrast to the values we cherish as Australians.

Donald Trump, the man behind the brand, has been a polarizing figure in global politics. He has been labelled as a man responsible for exacerbating economic disparities, fostering social divides, and catering to the wealthy elite at the expense of the common citizen. His policies and actions have sparked protests worldwide, underscoring a legacy that many argue has been detrimental to the principles of democracy and equality.

By allowing Trump Tower to be constructed in QLD, we risk endorsing this legacy. It sends a message that these values are acceptable in our society, which they are not. The tower would stand as a symbol of division and greed, starkly contrasting to the spirit of community, fairness, and acceptance that defines us as Australians.

Furthermore, sites tied to controversial figures tend to bring not only national, but international attention, often drawing unwarranted media spectacle that can taint the social fabric of a region. We must learn from other cities worldwide where such developments have led to an increase in unrest and dissatisfaction among locals.

We, the residents of Queensland, stand together in rejecting the construction of Trump Tower. Our beautiful state should reflect the values of equality, unity, and forward-thinking, not be associated with controversy and discontent.

Join us in preserving the sanctity and ethos of Queensland. Urge our government and development authorities to reconsider this project. Let us ensure our region continues to be a place where all voices are heard and respected, and where all are welcome.

We call upon the community to express their disapproval of this project by signing this petition. Let's ensure that Queensland remains a beacon of hope and not a monument to past divisive narratives.
