Sydney (IINA) – Almost 10,000 people have voted in a poll asking if Donald Trump should be banned from entering Australia, with a whopping 73 percent of them saying he should be denied entry, ABC News reported.
The Lateline poll came after a petition in the United Kingdom attracted more than 570,000 signatures calling for the American billionaire to be banned there because of his so-called hate speech. That petition triggered a debate in Britain's House of Commons.
The Republican presidential hopeful called for a "total and complete shutdown" on all Muslims entering the United States and he also claimed that Muslims in New Jersey were cheering after the September 11 attacks.
More than 9,300 people took part in Lateline's Facebook poll, with the overwhelming majority supporting a ban.
Lateline is an Australian television news and current affairs program produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
