    It is far less likely she has been canceled for crazy lies, and far more likely she has been cancelled for telling more truth than the Australian government.

    They are afraid of her.

    Personally I think Candace vacillates between good, sane evaluations and total batshit like a race car changes gears, but denying her a visa is only martyring her.

    Australians are notorious for hating and despising free speech.

    Not only that but the Australian government has admitted that all Australians are too stupid to handle free speech and that the entire fabric of their society would be torn apart if someone spoke freely there.

    That's a long bow. As an Aussie, I would not prevent this woman from making an idiot of herself here, but I do acknowledge that she is likely to trigger our loonies.

    Chances are, she would make an idiot of Australian politics. Sadly for Australia, most of the women despise the men there and they long for Americans. I know, I have spent a long time in the land "down under".

    I still have friends in the RAAF and we always joke about it.

    It's not at all unheard of. The board's liberals likely support a state controlling who is allowed to enter in this instance.

    I wonder if Bernie Sanders will express displeasure at this the way he did when Ilhan Omar's anti-semitism kept her out of Israel.

    Sounds like a lot of American colleges. It upsets them to hear information that goes counter to their opinion

    Ooooh! I don’t think so - she would have to overcome Aussie apathy first :p As for preferring American men - no longer mate! Trump destroyed that illusion

    Pardon me, but I think you meant to say "runs counter to the opinions of their financial donors".

    I am calling BS on the charge of anti-semitism. Why can't the users of this term realize they undermining their own credibility with that false and tired accusation? Its as if every nation on Earth is open to criticism except one...Israel. And if you criticize that nation, which must be more perfect and moral than any god or angel, then you are either an anti-semite or self-hating Jew. Man...just give it up.

    And since this got started, lets remember that Ben Shapiro was fine working with Candace Owens until she criticized Israel. Then he dropped her quickly. If there is any real anti-semitism out there, its the fault of so-called Jews like Shapiro who lie all day for Zionism and Israel, and cancel people on their behalf.

    So what happens if Owens sneaks into the Australia, can she claim asylum and then get free everything, including living in a 4 star hotel at taxpayer expense? Will she be able to vote? Are there NGOs and bleeding hearts who will support her?

    It really is amusing watching right wing Americans talk about nations they don't know enough about to fill the back of a postcard. We don't much like antisemitic conspiracy theorists - we barred David Irving too, but he isn't as popular on the US right as this airhead (though I'm betting a few Trump supporters on this board are fans):

    https://www.news.com.au/national/to...s/news-story/d889e8b04047cd3456a977d4629d0128

    "ignorant malicious comments on social media" sounds like Owens' core demographic.

    This could have been an awkward moment for the right wing gutter crawlers in Australia....if they had principles to hold themselves to. I suspect most of them will just hold a series of completely contradictory positions knowing their audience will never call them on it.

    The good news is that Candace can spend the time she would have spent here trying to work out if the earth is flat or a globe. Apparently she now considers the shape of the earth to be a 'belief' rather than a 'fact'. Yep, we are really missing out there.

    No, she will be treated like any other person overstaying a visa - shipped back to the USA in disgrace. See we have rules around immigration + you know those things that Trump demanded be blocked so he could run on an unsolved problem?

    I hadn’t realised this! That puts her into the realm of “oxygen thief”, you know a few sandwiches short of a picnic, several bricks short of a load, if brains were dynamite she wouldn’t muss her hair, the wheels are spinning but the hamster is dead, couldn’t pour water out of a welly with the instructions on the heel……:p :p :p.

    Such a tolerant liberal Nation.... Going to exclude people based on their political opinions.

    Democrats continuously accuse Republicans of creating division but as we can see, they are the most intolerant ones in society

    I give her some credit, she knows how to grift. Granted, she is grifting off the dumbest & most gullible segment of US society, but there is still a skill to that. Black people vomiting up MAGA talking points back at them is like crack. They open up their wallets and out flows the dough. Unfortunately for Owens she started to drink her own bathwater and forgot that you can't say the quiet part out too loud. Just because Donnie loves him some holocaust deniers and 'Jews will not replace us' types doesn't mean just anybody can go off reservation. At a fundamental level she isn't that bright.

    Still, she has enough of a following to make a decent living until the next version of her comes along. Eventually she will be cast aside and end up in Ann Coulter 'right wing bag lady screaming at seagulls' territory, but if she invests the money wisely she'll be decently set up.

    We don't like antisemitic conspiracy theorists - just like Israel.

    Though I can see why fans of 'great repplacement theory' might get upset about that.

    As a believer in the Holy Book of the Jews, I find it a bit preposterous to claim she is anti-semitic, and so peddling such theories.

    Of course the term anti-semitic is itself preposterous when I am sure your claim is actually her being anti-Jewish community...which is crazy...as she worked alongside Ben Shapiro for so many years.

    But I suspect those blinders are super-glued to the sides of your skull and you won't come to see reason on this.

    What you do or don't find 'preposterous' is of unimaginably little interest to me.

    Owens make a living defacating mindless hatred and moronic talking points to people who who get some sort of validation hearing others repeat such things back to them. We have enough gutter crawlers in Australia. No need to import more. Let her grift in America.

    No. No. Your claim of her anti-semitism is demonstrably absurd. Its not a matter of opinion.

    Maybe you should just take it back and stop trying act like you never said something so preposterous?

    I find it hilarious to see so many people justifying their intolerance by accusing others of the same... Fascinating behavior

    Reading her bibliography it's hard to see what she stands for other than outrage and her own flavor of alternative facts.

    She is simply a troublemaker - which is not in our national interests to invite. Visiting Australia is a privilege, not a right.

    And yet here in America we're expected to just take anyone into our nation that can violate our border and if you're against that it makes you a racist and hateful bigot.... And oftentimes it's Australian people that call us such things...

    If only we Americans could establish the privilege of choosing who we want to come into our nation
