Candace Owens unleashes on Australia after she was banned by Anthony Albanese's government
SUMMARY
Candace Owens responded to her visa cancellation by the Australian government, calling it “a petty act of vandalism.” Immigration Minister Tony Burke revoked Owens' visa, citing her “capacity to incite discord in almost every direction.” In response, Owens argued, "People don’t want me to get in front of an audience." Her tour promoter condemned the decision as censorship, saying, “Minister Burke's reasoning is that he doesn't want Australians exposed to Ms. Owens' message,” adding that “this is clearly nothing more than political bias disguised as a public safety measure.” Owens contrasted this with American free speech standards, remarking, “In America, we care deeply about free speech.” She warned that the decision would be “a stain on Australia… not one that you’re easily going to wipe away,” and criticized Australia's actions as overly restrictive, noting, “I should be able to travel to a country because I’m not a criminal.”
