Reported at www.sbs.com.au: US President Donald Trump has eliminated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures in parts of the public service, an action that has led some US companies to reassess their DEI initiatives.

In Australia, experts acknowledge progress in workplace diversity but express concern over the lack of strong legislative support and the potential for a shift in DEI focus under Opposition leader Peter Dutton, who has criticized DEI roles.

Experts remain cautiously optimistic about the future of DEI initiatives in Australia, citing existing laws and the positive reception of companies that uphold these values despite external pressures.
