In a disappointing turn of events, Donald Trump Jr.’s highly anticipated Australian speaking tour has been postponed for a second time. The organizer, Turning Point Australia, has announced that the events will now take place in December, citing “scheduling conflicts” as the reason behind the delay.
Despite having obtained a visa to enter Australia, Trump Jr. was not present in the country at the time of the scheduled tour. The spokesperson for Turning Point Australia confirmed the postponement and expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to the audience.
The eldest son of former President Donald Trump was originally slated to deliver speeches in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney, starting on Monday. However, this decision was met with significant controversy earlier this year, as a petition signed by over 20,000 people urged the Australian government to bar Trump Jr. from entering the country. The petition cited objections to his far-right rhetoric as the main reason for their opposition.

In July, Turning Point Australia initially announced the postponement of the tour, citing “unforeseen circumstances.” The conservative group hinted at visa issues being the cause of the delay and took a swipe at cancel culture on their Facebook page, stating, “Hold on to your tickets, this is a short delay nothing more #CancelCulture.”
However, Australian government officials clarified that Trump Jr.’s visa had indeed been approved, raising speculation about the real reasons behind the postponement. Immigration Minister Andrew Giles suggested that the lack of enthusiasm for ticket sales might have played a role in the decision, rather than the issues raised by Turning Point Australia.
Now, the revised schedule indicates that the Republican firebrand will kick off his three-day tour on December 10 in Sydney, followed by appearances in Gold Coast and Melbourne. Fans and critics alike will have to wait a little longer to hear Trump Jr.’s insights and perspectives on various topics.
