Trump tariffs prompt calls to boycott US goods in India
From McDonald's and Coca-Cola to Amazon and Apple, US-based multinationals are facing calls for a boycott in India as business executives and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's supporters stoke anti-American sentiment to protest tariffs. India, the world's most populous nation, is a key market for American brands that have rapidly expanded to target a growing base of affluent consumers, many of whom remain infatuated with international labels seen as symbols of moving up in life. India, for example, is the biggest market by users for Meta's WhatsApp, and Domino's has more restaurants than any other brand in the nation. Drinks such as Pepsi and Coca-Cola often dominate store shelves, and people still queue up when a new Apple store opens or a Starbucks cafe doles out discounts. Although there was no immediate indication of sales being hit, there's a growing chorus both on social media and offline to buy local and ditch American products after US President Donald Trump imposed a 50 per cent tariff on goods from India, rattling exporters and damaging ties between New Delhi and Washington. Manish Chowdhary, co-founder of India's Wow Skin Science, took to LinkedIn with a video message urging support for farmers and startups to make "Made in India" a "global obsession," and to learn from South Korea, whose food and beauty products are famous worldwide. "We have lined up for products from thousands of miles away. We have proudly spent on brands that we don't own, while our own makers fight for attention in their own country," he said. On Sunday, Modi made a "special appeal" for becoming self-reliant, telling a gathering in Bengaluru that Indian technology companies made products for the world but "now is the time for us to give more priority to India's needs". Even as anti-American protests simmer, Tesla launched its second showroom in India in New Delhi, with Monday's opening attended by Indian commerce ministry officials and US embassy officials. The Swadeshi Jagran Manch group, which is linked to Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, took out small public rallies across India on Sunday, urging people to boycott American brands. "People are now looking at Indian products. It will take some time to fructify," Ashwani Mahajan, the group's co-convenor, told Reuters. "This is a call for nationalism, patriotism."

Childcare boss emerges to face criminal charge
The boss of the collapsed Genius chain of childcare centres is hoping to escape conviction in a Melbourne court after pleading guilty to a financial offence. Embattled daycare entrepreneur Darren Misquitta has admitted to one charge of dealing with property suspected of being the proceeds of crime while acting as a business consultant in 2019. Under the little-used law, a person is guilty of an offence, carrying up to two years in jail, if they are found to have possessed money or goods reasonably suspected of being the proceeds of crime. Misquitta's chain of 39 Genius childcare centres across the country collapsed in June, leaving workers, creditors and tax authorities chasing debt. The administration processes of the various companies behind the group are still playing out. Loading The Gold Coast-based businessmen, who was declared bankrupt last month, admitted in court on Thursday to one count of dealing with the proceeds of crime after he unknowingly handled $120,000 from a client of his business consultancy in 2019 that was later found to have been fraudulently obtained. Misquitta's barrister, Sam Tovey, told magistrate Patrick Allan on Thursday that the offending had been at the lower end of culpability and there was no evidence of 'deliberate fraudulent behaviour'. Tovey said that because of his client's lack of previous convictions, the court should consider a non-conviction, arguing that another person found to have committed the same offence related to the fraud had escaped conviction.
