https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal ... 5124z.html. There has been another conservative speaker from the UK, whose name means nothing to me, who has been declined also. I know nothing about him, but I do know a fair bit about Milo Yiannopoulos. I follow him closely.The Morrison government has banned right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos from entering Australia in a fresh crackdown likely to infuriate his conservative supporters but please critics who believe he is anti-Semitic.
The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age can reveal the controversial speaker was told this week his visa application had been rejected and he cannot enter Australia.

A letter sent to Yiannopoulos by immigration officials foreshadowed this week's final decision.
The letter noted Australia had the power to block someone from entering the country if there was a risk that person would "incite discord in the Australian community or in a segment of that community".
The letter was released by one of Yiannopoulos' strongest supporters, Sky News host Andrew Bolt, earlier this month.
Whilst I find Yiannopoulos can be abrasive, obnoxious and purely torrid at times, I have seen or heard nothing - NOTHING - that incites hate or whatever else these government cretins claim. I've read his book, Dangerous, I follow him on facebook, and I keep up with the news. This is nothing short of a police state move, and it's happening under a conservative government. The fuckers are scared of him, because he is an exceptionally good debater.
Those that know me, know I am anti immigration from non-Western countries. But I feel more strongly about this, than I do even immigration. If we don't have freedom of speech, we're no longer a democracy.
