Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has defended his decision to cancel the visa of United States commentator Candace Owens, citing concerns over her history of inflammatory remarks targeting various communities. Burke emphasized that Australia reserves the right to deny entry to individuals who seek to promote division or bigotry, a stance that was upheld by the High Court. The court ruled that while political speech is protected for Australians, this does not extend to foreign visitors seeking entry. Owens, who had planned a national speaking tour, has yet to respond publicly to the decision, which has received rare bipartisan support.
