"Owens has been embroiled in a legal battle with the Australian government since Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke rejected her visa application in November 2024, when she applied to go on a speaking tour. The country's highest court recently ruled her application should be "emphatically rejected" due to her "extremist and inflammatory comments towards Muslim, Black, Jewish and LGBTQIA+ communities which generate controversy and hatred.""
"Owens has a long history of anti-LGBTQ+ invective. She has accused So You Think You Can Dance judge JoJo Siwa of pretending to be gay for clicks, said she'd beat her own grandchild if they came out as trans, has attacked Dwyane Wade's trans daughter, out soccer legend Megan Rapinoe and Lil Nas X, and falsely associated trans people with shootings in Memphis and Texas."
"The commentator even became too toxic for the far-right site The Daily Wire, which fired her last year over her overt antisemitism. She once pushed a wild theory that a cabal of Satanists is masquerading as Jews and conspiring to promote incest and child sexual abuse in an effort to create a generation of psychopathic world leaders. She has also been on a rampage to convince the world that French First Lady Brigitte Macron is actually a trans"
Australian authorities rejected Candace Owens' visa application after Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke denied it in November 2024 when she sought to go on a speaking tour. The country's highest court ruled her application should be emphatically rejected because of extremist and inflammatory comments toward Muslim, Black, Jewish and LGBTQIA+ communities that generate controversy and hatred. Australia's constitution does not explicitly guarantee free speech; Owens argued an implied freedom of political communication was violated, but the court held that implied freedom is not a personal, unlimited or absolute right and found she failed the migration act's character test. Owens has a long history of anti-LGBTQ+ invective and past antisemitic claims.
