(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In a shocking display of government overreach to silence conservative voices, Australia has denied conservative commentator Candace Owens entry into the country.
Owens, a prominent conservative influencer with nearly 3 million YouTube subscribers, had planned a speaking tour across Australia’s major cities, including Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Brisbane.
The tour, advertised as “provocative” and offering “alternative viewpoints,” was set to begin on November 17 in Melbourne.
However, she was denied entry by Immigration Minister Tony Burke as he justified the visa denial by claiming Owens could “incite discord in almost every direction” and that Australia’s national interest is best served without her presence.
Burke’s decision appears to be influenced by left-wing groups and organizations that have long targeted Owens for her outspoken conservative views.
The U.S. Anti-Defamation League and LGBTQ+ advocacy group Glaad have criticized her in the past, while local Jewish groups and opposition figures in Australia opposed her visit.
Moreover, Owens gained prominence during the Trump presidency for her “Blexit” advocacy and criticism of Black Lives Matter and has been a target of the left for her unapologetic conservative stance on race, gender, and social issues.
Her significant following on social media platforms, including Instagram, YouTube, and X, is a testament to the growing demand for voices that challenge the mainstream narrative.
The decision to ban Owens from entering Australia is part of a broader trend of censorship and suppression of conservative voices worldwide, as it threatens the foundations of free speech and democratic discourse.
While such a situation is just an attack on Candace Owens, it is also an attack on all conservatives and free-thinking individuals who dare to challenge the status quo.
