Australia’s High Court Upholds Visa Denial for Candace Owens
The Australian High Court has upheld the government’s 2024 decision to deny Candace Owens a visa. The court determined that the Home Affairs Minister’s denial did not violate any constitutional freedoms. The minister refused the visa due to concerns that Owens’ views, including minimizing the Holocaust, had the potential to incite discord and fail the “character test” under the Migration Act. The court found the minister did not misinterpret the law in making this decision, ultimately dismissing Owens’ challenge.
