Candace Owens, a prominent conservative media personality known for her divisive opinions on LGBTQ+ rights and controversial remarks about the Holocaust, may be denied entry to Australia as officials review her upcoming tour.
Her views have sparked backlash globally, with critics arguing they promote division and intolerance.
Australia’s Immigration Minister, Tony Burke, has the authority to make the final decision on Owens’ visa. Burke has repeatedly underscored Australia’s strict policies against hate speech, emphasizing that the country does not condone rhetoric that could incite division or discrimination.
As public debate intensifies, many await the outcome, with some Australians supporting a visa denial as a statement of the country’s commitment to inclusivity and respect for diverse communities.
