Sweet. Hopefully this means we will deny Musk and Trump and all the rest of them too

Unfortunately, turning away Trump would have far greater diplomatic repercussions that I just don't see Albanese risking. Trump could pull America's embassy stuff, or enact further tariffs or sanctions. If Albanese wasn't ready to condemn (or at least not congratulate) the Iran strikes then he's not going to be ready to deny Trump entry while he's head of state.

Musk, on the other hand, well if we denied Kanye entry then we better fluffing deny him too. It's not like it wouldn't clearly be a well supported move considering we've had one of the greatest drops in Tesla sales YoY globally.
