Candace Owens Loses Bid To Enter Australia For Speaking Tour After High Court Upholds Government’s Visa Denial Over Extremist & Inflammatory Comments’

Australia has given #CandaceOwens a big fat “No, thank you.”

The controversial far-right commentator has lost her legal battle to enter #Australia after the nation’s highest court upheld a government decision to deny her a visa. Her application was previously rejected in October 2024 by the Home Affairs Minister over concerns that Candace’s presence could “incite discord in the Australian community.” They argued that Candace had made “extremist and inflammatory comments towards Muslim, Black, Jewish and #LGBTQIA+ communities,” which could generate controversy and hatred.

Candace’s legal team fought back, appealing to the High Court. However, the court’s unanimous decision backing the ban means Candace will not be able to proceed with her planned speaking tour across Australia and #NewZealand. In addition to the visa denial, she’ll also have to pay the government’s legal costs.
