Trumpism reaches Down Under as Aus MP changes his name to ‘Aussie Trump’
February 7, 2025
An Australian state lawmaker, formerly known as Ben Dawkins, has changed his name to “Aussie Trump” as a protest against the ruling Labor Party in Western Australia. Expelled from Labor in 2023, he refers to this move as a stand against perceived corruption and tyranny, echoing slogans like “Drill Baby Drill” used by Donald Trump.
