ALBAWABA - American commentator Candace Owens was recently banned entry to Australia after her Visa application was rejected by the country over "Antisemitic" comments about the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza. This all comes amid the commentator's preparations to visit the country for her upcoming speaking tour in Nov. 2024.
According to The Guardian, Australia's immigration minister Tony Burke said that Ownens "has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction". He added, "Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else".
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Owens was refused entry to Australia "following a history of antisemitic, anti-Muslim and transphobic comments".
