Australia Denies Visa to Candace Owens Over Incendiary Remarks

The controversial right-wing commentator's planned speaking tour was halted due to her history of divisive statements.

Australian Immigration Minister Tony Burke cited Owens' capacity to incite discord as a key reason for the visa denial.
Owens was scheduled to speak in major Australian cities and Auckland, New Zealand, in November.
Her comments downplaying the Holocaust and making false claims about Muslims were highlighted as particularly concerning.
Several Jewish organizations and civil rights groups in Australia praised the decision as a stand against bigotry.
Owens has not publicly responded to the visa denial but plans to address it on her podcast.
