No Trump Golf Course on the Gold Coast!
Mayor Tate: Gold Coast locals are demanding that you stop pitching the Gold Coast to the Trump family.
We didn't want the tower, and now we don't want this golf course. Drop this proposal for a Trump-branded golf course and resort, and commit publicly that no Trump deal will go before Gold Coast City Council. If Tate won't do that, we're calling on councillors to refuse it when it lands on their desks. Our coastline is not a bargaining chip for a Mar-a-Lago dinner.

Why is this important?
Just weeks ago, 124,000 Australians forced a Trump Tower in Surfers Paradise to collapse – and Tate responded by lining up the next deal. A resort and golf course of this scale would require council approval and Queensland Government scrutiny over coastal and environmental impacts, which means this fight is winnable if we act now.
The Trump brand stands for division, contempt for democratic norms, and authoritarian politics – none of which belong on the Gold Coast skyline or shoreline. When Tate called us "haters" for pushing back, he made clear he won't stop unless we make him.
