  • Commentator Candace Owens Denied Entry to Australia

    Commentator Candace Owens Denied Entry to Australia

    Australia has rejected the visa application of American conservative
    influencer and podcast host Candace Owens over her alleged "capacity
    to incite discord in almost every direction." Owens has reportedly
    vowed to appeal the decision.[1][2]

    Immigration Minister Tony Burke accused Owens of making controversial
    comments ranging from "downplaying the impact of the Holocaust" to
    "claims that Muslims started slavery," arguing that "Australia's
    national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else.

    Sad to see australia descend into authoritarianism. But, given how they
    acted during corona, with concentration camps and all, I'm not surprised.

    Unknown if down under is descending or if rules are rules are
    applicable.

    If Owens 'motor-mouth' is spewing rubbish like this,

    "downplaying the impact of the Holocaust" to
    "claims that Muslims started slavery,"

    then being kicked in the butt is good. Authoritarianism is associated
    with those who deceive/control others.

    I have no issue with opinions, if they can be supported...BS is not an
    opinion when used as a political tool or for economic gain.

    Muslims started slavery

    A Muslim is a person who practices Islam...started in 610 A.D

    "The first written evidence of slavery comes from the Sumerian people
    in ancient Mesopotamia. The Code of Hammurabi is an 18th-century BCE
    law code that shows how slaves were treated like second-class
    citizens."

    The above would suggest she is spewing non-sense.
