Australia say's "nope" to RW provocateur Candice Owens.

[ZestolPastilevsky]

Up to you. I'm sure you have a long history of having a problem with this and in no way have just taken up the issue because it's Candace Owens.

Legally it's all kosher. Like you said, the can be more or less as capricious as they please with their handing out of visas. Ethically? It's no good. It goes to show that whether you're in the East, West, Global South, Golden Billion, or whatever, if you express viewpoints that displease the people who rule you, they can and will employ the law as a cudgel against you.

 

[Mac-7]

You tell us. Then tell us how that is relevant.

It's called "making a point".

I asked you first

People with weak minds hate free speech

Disagree completely. She has no right to an Australian Visa. Nor is she banned from their internet or airwaves. None of her rights have been violated. She just joins a long list of people who have been denied visas to western countries because of their public holocaust denial. She needs to find a mirror, if she wants to see why she is persona non grata.

I didn't ask you anything. Nor will I respond to your sealioning.

Just make your own point in your own, big boy words.

"She needs to find a mirror, if she wants to see why she is persona non grata." Well that's not ******* racist at all lol In any case, I'm not arguing with you whether or not it's legal or not to deny her a visa. I'm talking about ethics.

You responded to my question like a tag team wrestler trying to help a partner on the ropes

So now you are on the hook till you answer

Citizens supported the trucker's? Like who? MAGA bedwetters like you who stocked up on Old Milwaukee, MAGA hats, Trump flags, Cheese Curls & frozen cheeseburgs, Cletus?

Regular citizens all supported the truckers as people like you CHEERED a dictator wannabe like Turdeau who froze their bank accounts illegally. Get your tissues ready for next week asshole. You're going to go through a lot of them crying as Harris loses

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

If everyone who applies for a visa gets one, then you have an open border.

You got owned. In fact, your posts get easily destroyed here on a daily basis.

Free speech is not a right in Australia, not in Canada either.

An Overview of Australia’s Freedom of Speech Protections

By: Simmone Kapadia. Australia’s freedom of speech protections are not enumerated in its constitution. Instead, Australia’s freedom of speech protections are “implied” protections rooted in case law and international conventions.

If Trump wins stock up on K-Y, you'll need it, Skid Row loser.

No, we'll have more money and losers like you will not check the "not my President" box and take the lower rates. Like the hypocritical morons you are.

If owens visits Australia will that cause aussies to become holocaust deniers ?

Dude, have you ever "won" a discussion with that stupid tactic?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Haha. I'm not talking about her skin color. I'm talking about her personality and the things that fall out of her mouth.

Ethics do not dictate that you let any foreigner in on request. That's why you have to apply for a visa instead of ordering one on amazon.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Sounds like saying the Nazis weren't that bad to me.

It's physically impossible for anyone to be this stupid.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

She says stuff like that to appeal to the dumbest and lowest people on the planet.

That's what she thinks of you.

Remember that, the next time the urge to defend her grabs you.

You stand by what you say even when you just made it up?

Not real bright, are you.

You are babbling nonsense

 

[AZrailwhale]

Yep.

Nope. One look at your posts and you’d be history. Australia is far more racist than the USA. You’d just be another ignorant “black fella” to them. That’s what they call aborigines.

 

[protectionist]

You guys ever stop to think why you reflexively defend every weirdo on your side? You don’t have to. It’s okay to say Candace Owens is a fringe crank.

"Every weirdo on your side" ?

 

[krichton]

Sure. But that's a cop-out. She was denied a democracy because she expresses ideas that the Australian government doesn't like. My point is and always has been that any injustice that people face under other systems of government, they will also find under democracies.

Australia's immigration laws allow for the refusal of visas if the individual is deemed to pose a risk to public order or national interest. I would say a public figure that loves spreading anti Semitism and islamophobia qualifies, especially when that individual is coming to Australia to host an open event for her to spread her lies, conspiracy theories and racism.
