Candace Owens has been banned from entering Australia, following a history of antisemitic, anti-Muslim and transphobic comments, the Sydney Morning Herald posted for the first time on Sunday morning.
Tony Burke, the Immigration Minister, announced that Owens has had her visa cancelled, meaning she will be unable to travel to the country for her upcoming tour.
“From downplaying the impact of the Holocaust with comments about [German SS officer Josef] Mengele through to claims that Muslims started slavery, Candace Owens has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction,” Burke stated.
“Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else.”.
Jewish groups previously called for her visa to be cancelled in August, with Burke telling the Sydney Morning Herald "Tickets to these events are selling for $100.
