Australia bans Milo Yiannopoulos over New Zealand massacre remarks
Australia — home of the suspected gunman in the killing of at least 50 people at a New Zealand mosque — has banned alt-right firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos from touring the country over his social media response to the massacre.
Australian Immigration Minister David Coleman said in a statement that Yiannopoulos’ social media comments are “appalling and foment hatred and division.”Ironically, Coleman's condemnation comes only a week after he had approved a visa for the controversial British commentator and alt-right star against the advice of the Home Affairs department, which warned that Yiannopoulos may fail the character test to enter the country.
The flamboyant commentator, who regularly lashes out against feminism, social justice and political correctness, quickly took to social media with a response: The right-wing commentator had already stirred up controversy among Australian lawmakers in advance of the planned 2019 visit in a political debate over whether he should be allowed in."Milo banned. Good. His overnight comments weren't that different from how he has always behaved," he said.
