1/ Whiteness in Australia is always rebuffed by comparing ourselves to other countries, especially USA ("at least we're not as bad"). White people think our current politics inspired by Trump - a ludicrous fantasy. Racism has ALWAYS been bad here. It is the fabric of nationhood.

5/ White Australians need to believe racism here is a passing aberration so they feel comfortable & removed from racism- ignoring every other racist episode in history, past & present. So, no, Trump is no inspiration. We have always had worse versions of "Trump," since invasion.
