Tony Burke confirmed that Kanye West's Australian visa has been canceled after the release of a song that promotes Nazism. The song, "Heil Hitler," praises Adolf Hitler and has received widespread condemnation. This action follows West's previous antisemitic statements on social media, including declarations of love for Hitler and identification as a Nazi. Burke noted that West's earlier comments did not affect his visa, but the recent song prompted a reassessment by officials. The legal basis for the visa cancellation falls under Australia’s Migration Act, which outlines character requirements for non-citizens.
