"I have launched a political protest against the tyranny and systematic corruption of the Labor government in WA," he wrote, in a post on the social media platform, signing himself "Aussie".

He also posted a photo showing the legal confirmation of the name change from the Western Australian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

"I want to be like Trump in the sense of calling out smart leftist nonsense," he told 9News.

"I would like you to contact Donald, just call the office here," he wrote.
