Donald Trump's ban on people from selected Muslim countries entering the US has sparked worldwide disgust, and protests across the US. Trump has also put a four month freeze on refugees, and an indefinite freeze on refugees from Syria. We need to oppose this racism here in Australia. 

The Turnbull government has refused to condemn Trump's actions, instead Turnbull claims Trump is "emulating" his own border protection policies. Trumps proposed prioritising of Christian mnorities in the refugee intake in order to discriminate against Muslim refugees is directly copied from Australia's Coalition government. Former Immigration Minister Scott Morrison boasted that the US is "catching up" with Australia.
