MAGA-fluencer, firebrand and conspiracy theorist Candace Owens has been told to stay out of Australia, with officials canceling her visa for a planned speaking tour down under. Owens was booked to headline November events in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide delivering “raw and unfiltered commentary on politics, culture and everyday life” with ticket prices ranging from AUD$95 to AUD$1500 ($63 to $990), according to Melbourne’s The Age newspaper. A former contributor to the right wing website The Daily Wire, the Trump-loving Owens was fired earlier this year after making antisemitic remarks; she nevertheless counts millions among her social media followers. “From downplaying the impact of the Holocaust with comments about Mengele through to claims that Muslims started slavery, Candace Owens has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction,” said Immigration Minister Tony Burke. “Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else.”
