Australia rejects visa application by rightwing US pundit Candace Owens
Immigration minister Tony Burke says Owens ‘has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction’ ahead of planned November speaking tour
Australia has rejected far-right provocateur Candace Owens’ visa application ahead of a planned national speaking tour, with the immigration minister, Tony Burke, saying she had the “capacity to incite discord”.
The US conservative influencer and podcast host, who has advanced conspiracy theories and antisemitic rhetoric including minimising Nazi medical experiments in concentration camps, will be blocked from coming to Australia after the federal government voiced alarm about her record.
“From downplaying the impact of the Holocaust with comments about [notorious Nazi doctor Josef] Mengele through to claims that Muslims started slavery, Candace Owens has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction,” Burke said on Sunday.

What are the odds of this vapid asshole saying "Australia is violating the first amendment!"
Even money?
I live in NZ. At lockdown protests people had Trump flags and were saying we were violating their first amendment... So much stupidity
Now imagine knowing these people are your neighbor and no matter how nice calm and civil you engage with them they’d never understand the monster they are about to vote for.
It is simple maths.
Think of how stupid the average person is.
Statistically, mathematically, incontravertably, if that is a bell distribution, then half of the people are even stupider than that!
That's not quite true. A bell curve will put a ton of people right at the average, or within one standard deviation.
