Immigration Minister facing calls to ban disgraced rapper.Protecting minority communities as anti-Semitism rises across the globe will likely be a factor in any decision to ban Kanye West from entering Australia, a leading immigration expert says.after launching a series of anti-Semitic tirades during interviews and on social mediaAppearing alongside a prominent Holocaust denier, West has praised Adolf Hitler in interviews, and has questioned the number of Jews exterminated by the Nazi regime.
The anti-Semitism Worldwide Report 2021 found reported incidents had increased sharply in the proceeding year,Global and national immigration leader at BDO Migration Services Maria Jockel said the current context, including a global "revival of fascism" and Holocaust denial becoming a "more vocal issue", may factor into Mr Giles' thinking.
"Is it imperative that he'd be able to come here to visit his wife's family, at the end of the day?" she said. "He's not going to be living here, he just wants to come and say hello to them. They are equally able to go and visit him."Ms Jockel said simply appearing alongside extremists, even without making public racist comments, would be "very troubling" for a minister and could be grounds for refusal on its own.
'You're saying it's anti-Semitic, but I don't believe in that term. One thing is, Black people are also Jew. I classify as Jew also, so I actually can't be an anti-Semite. So the term is actually, it's not factual.'

Ignoring Australia Day is about railing ‘against Australia’ and its ‘very existence’: Chris KennyChanging or ignoring the date of Australia Day is all about “railing against Australia” and its “very existence”, says Sky News host Chris Kenny. “We did become a country. We should celebrate that as we work to make it even better for everyone,” he said. “None of these organisations campaigning against the very notion, the actual history of this nation, our identity as Australia, none of them should use the name at all.” Damn, that's stupid 😬 True 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕

‘Overwhelming’: David Nduwimana’s rise from refugee to national performerMusician David Nduwimana reveals how he has gone from arriving in Australia as a refugee to performing the national anthem at the Australia Day Live Concert in front of the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Mr Nduwimana said a few years after arriving in Australia, he met former Rugby Australia CEO Rob Clarke. “In 2017, I had a conversation with him. I was talking to him about how I loved the national anthem of Australia,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “I love the dynamic of the song and the words – the words are inclusive; that’s what makes me feel connected to that.” Mr Nduwimana said he became a permanent citizen in Australia around the time Mr Clarke became interim CEO of Rugby Australia. “He (Rob Clarke) said, ‘you know what, I want to celebrate this day’, then he gave me the opportunity to sing.” The musician sang what is widely recognised as one of the best renditions of the national anthem on the night of the third 2020 Bledisloe clash between the Wallabies and the All Blacks. “It was really overwhelming, it was really interesting and exciting times for me to be able to stand up there and just express my heart and my gratitude to everyone, to all Australians and all the people who had been behind the scenes helping me to get through everything,” Mr Nduwimana said. Yes but sky news Australia.. did he arrive legally as a real refugee?

Majority of Australians believe it’s ‘very important’ to mark a national dayA majority of new Australians believe it's important to celebrate Australia Day on January 26. This is according to survey findings from AMES Australia, an agency working with refugees and migrants settling in the country. AMES Australia CEO Cath Scarth says most people said that it was “very important” to mark a national day but don’t understand the significance of January 26. “I think for them, many come from countries where they haven’t been able to celebrate … and so the idea of a national day is very important,” she told Sky News Australia. You just make this shit up don’t you? Amen to that. The labor government need to stop dividing us. Yes….
