The Morrison government rushed to review the future of Mr Yiannopoulos, who has a history of attacking Muslims, after he used an overnight Facebook post to claim assaults like the one in Christchurch happen because the establishment "mollycoddles extremist leftism and barbaric, alien religious cultures".that the conservative American political activist was the person who "influenced me above all".
In a Facebook post overnight, Mr Yiannopoulos said Owens had "nothing to do with what happened" in New Zealand and appeared to blame the left for the deadly assault."People aren't radicalised by their own side. They get pushed to the far-right by the left, not by others on the right," Mr Yiannopoulos wrote in a post that has since been shared widely.
Earlier, Labor frontbencher Tony Burke said: "Surely the Liberal government is still not going to issue a visa to someone so he can conduct a tour to promote hatred against Muslims." In addition to citing violent protests during his last major Australian speaking tour in Melbourne in 2017, the immigration officials also specifically noted Mr Yiannopoulos had made controversial statements in relation to minority groups including Muslims., but Immigration Minister David Coleman intervened last weekend to personally approve the visa.
Hahahahaaaaaaaaaa! Sieg Heils-beware the the brown shirts are coming are coming beware what you say around the kitchen table..........................
What about Tommy Robinson & Gavin McInnes. Both are mouth breathing hate speakers! Auspol
Good.
Why wasn’t he banned from the start!
Free speech is free speech....we need to be careful what we do and do not allow to be censored. Just because you don’t agree with an opinion does not mean you shouldn’t listen ..by the way I think this guy is a flog
For life!!
william_bardoel now we play blame the gay conservative
A wrong move by the government. Why stop a man whose mission is to tell us that muslims are bad and are not white enough to live here and promote disharmony in Australia.
Wrong decision
Who was he visiting? What does he do?
Flip-flop-flip. Landed on the right side this time
Although a fan of free speech, every thing has changed after 15/3 Now is not the time to stirring the pot! auspol
So if you criticise a hateful religious system the debate gets shut down? Bloody hell. Political correctness will be our downfall as a democratic western state.
I'm an old conservative but this ban is a good move.
Too little too late from this government. Their brand of dog whistling politics is partly responsible for the atrocity in NZ and they know it. Auspol NZMosqueAttack
But we allow Marxist shit in our universities...
Wrong decision
Excellent
Dear oh dear. What are we becoming? Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic
What has Milo got to do with the events in New Zealand. Please explain the connection?
Really, why don’t they ban those clerics who don’t condemn the mass murders of innocent christians in Nigeria or egypt... innocent souls are being used for political left wing gain. Shame on the govt and people who are exploiting this. Why are people attacking the senator
Can't be serious?
I was hoping that was Trump.
Lol it's all milos fault
OMG
Good.
Great! I am for freespeech but there is a huge difference between that & hatespeech HateSpeechIsNotFreeSpeech Auspol Qldpol
Who TF is this?
Flipped flopped more than Abbott did on Paris
FatherBob Yes, the same Morrison Government that approved this slimebag a week ago.
All for banning this guy but it needs to go both ways, why ban him but permit the extreme Islamic looney to preach their hate of western culture
By doing this aren't they admitting they understood the corrosive nature of his presence in the past?
Shitting themselves now are they?
ricklevy67 I thought they had already...good news anyway! 👏👍
Great news
It takes an act of racial hatred terrorism for this govt to ban Milo wankpuffin spunktrumpet Yoplait. I despair at the level of racism in Australia. Such a shame.
skynewsaust after dark will be extremely upset about this. Cue outrage from theboltreport outsiders rowandean chriskkenny and pm_live slpng_giants_oz
influx_Divine Australia is wimping out just like UK.
LesStonehouse So he was banned, then they backflipped, now they've backflipped on a backflip and banned him again.. 🙄
Yeah, for now. Till the media attention blows over, and ScottMorrisonMP gets a call from his mate Trump, telling him what to do.
helen_hoops We stand united with our friends in New Zealand. Tonight there are children going to bed missing a parent. Parents who have lost a child. Their tragic losses follow acts of cowardly hatred. Let’s honour their memories by strengthening our commitment to compassion and love.
Reactionary government!!
While you are at it PM what about the Senator currently in the news. Some action warranted there surely
Absolutely ridiculous! This is exactly what fuels hatred & divisiveness - why ban share ideas & respect other opinions
So up until Christchurch, he was a “fine person”?
BasiaSosnowska Good,, a nation who won't put up with this.
Bye bye Milo. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Next...?
and yet Fraser Anning is still a Senator despite his statement yesterday 😡 ScottMorrisonMP
What has he got to do with Christchurch, tf
You mean, they overturned their decision to allow him in, after the immigaration department banned Milo and then Bolt and Devine had a hissy fit resulting in Coleman caving in a hot second.
Now here’s something to be legitimately outraged at. How dare you censor and silence differing opinions, thereby restricting free thought?! We are living in an oppressed time. If you’re looking for the ones implementing the terror, look no further than your own government. 🇦🇺
About time!
Don’t forget that banning free speech comes around to get everybody. Weak move by the govt.
Best decision ScumMo has made
FatherBob If you tolerate the intolerant eventually the intolerant win... and then where are we?
Total bloody joke. Milo has nothing to do with that left wing nut job
Finally...some common sense!
YeaYeabro What a pity for this loser that Morrison is desperate to claw back whatever votes he can. Won’t make a difference.
pas64 There was nothing wrong with his views on Thursday or even Friday breakfast.
Very good
Good decision
Too late ScuMo, we all know you're not sincere. You're just reactionary. You've just figured out there's votes in doing what's right. Nobody believes you
Good
FatherBob Too little too late.
WTF? 🙄
See? it only takes a massacre of innocents to scare fascists into doing the right thing.
Hope so. Varying reports. As in 'pending' for whatever reason.
FatherBob How is this anything to do with Milo!
He was already banned by the Department until Dutton exercised his Ministerial prerogative to admit him. What an absolute tosser Dutton is, and a great liability to the LNP
It only took the deaths of 49 innocent people for our Prime Minister to make this decision 😡😡😡
Finally someone applied logic...
Do we want to be governed by experiential learners with neither foresight nor imagination?
We all know religious and sexual minorities are treated fine in Islamic countries.
iansmith_adl The fact that it took a massacre in New Zealand for him to be banned says all you need to know about ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP and LiberalAus party. VoteThemOut AusPOL ausvotes2019
I doubt Milo would have time for anyone who said this
about fucking time
FatherBob All it took to make our government perform their job 1 time with ethical clarity is the deaths of 40 + innocent people.. by that ratio to get them to fix all their lies and unethical behaviour will only take...... 1.256.345 innocent lives.
FatherBob Backpeddle much?
FatherBob Aaaaaaand stay out!
FatherBob Should never have been approved in the first place.
FatherBob There's been a shooting so you can't visit any more.
PhoenixMe_ Keep up the pressure
FatherBob Good, we don’t want this filth.
dfblokes Sanity prevails. It only took 49 innocent lives.
Austraila has lost the plot. Where is freedom of speech? If you don't like his views don't listen to him simple isn't it ? 🤷🏿♂️
Good.
GOOD!
This is not what a liberal government does, therefore, it isn’t liberal.
ScoMo is a votes weather vane only and weather vanes are incapable of empathy, integrity, honesty etc - you name it.
Diversity is apparently such a strength it can only be sustained with blacklisting and the suppression of free speech
DiQld Weak as piss ScottMorrisonMP he is ultra right closed minded bigot just like you dutton and many others. Remember pauline and corey who were in your broad church
marcialangton
The government is trying to put the genie they released, back into the bottle.
Too little, too late.
Lest ensure that stick, and I hope he pays his debts to Vic Govt.
Decency albeit belated. Now what about the Minister that overrode department advice? Presume the PM ScottMorrisonMP will speak on this about ministerial accountability?
Again! Cue the RWNJ outcry - will they flip again?
Yeah, there wasnt much wriggle room there. We need wise heads to get us through this mess we are in.
So people have to actually lose their lives before the Morrison government actually does the right thing, instead of pandering to its racist, bigoted and islamaphobic base because, you know, votes.
This Government is a laughingstock.
It was a clerical error ... like the 'it's ok to be white' vote in parliament was.
AnthonyCole68 Good
ScottMorrisonMP if you played cricket your go to ball would be the flipper, and you'd be chucking it
Scary how the government wants to control what we can and can’t listen to despite what he says. fuckscottmorrison
Don’t agree with him but shouldn’t be banned.
Multiculturalism is squarely to blame for the violence. Multicultural societies are no more peaceful... There is more racism and violence in every multicultural society, which requires oppressive governments to contain it.
The flip flopping fuckwits of the LNP need to be evicted from office asap. They have absolutely no morals, ethics, leadership or even a clue what they are doing.
He’d be putting the blame for yesterday’s carnage on the victims in Christchurch
Morrison needs to explain why the decision to overturn the initial ban was overturned.
Islamic countries throw people like Milo from tall buildings. He's quite correct to describe such Islamic laws as barbaric. Because people are afraid that if moslems are offended they'll commit atrocities, we must continue to excuse the barbary contained in Islamic doctrine.
Yet you allow this hate person in, either ban all or none.
That's good news.
A ridiculous decision.
They only put these guys more into the spotlight.
Makes sense. Let’s use every tragedy to restrict freedom of expression. Should end well and has worked before. The absolute state of the left.
Yes!!!
About time.
I’m a total Leftie, but I also think banning anyone from speaking anything denies us all the freedom to speak.
Take care of the lefties
And now .. what did it take? A mass murder of Muslims Christchurch Shame on Morrison, Dutton, the Australian government and all politicians and media who have contributed to this horrific and devastating terrorist attack. MiloBan
Now time to call out Liberal dog whistlers out
Hoooooray!!!
not a moment too soon
Pathetic
Yes! No hate speech. 😳
Was expecting this................... no bloody surprise. Once again Oz Govt decisions dictated by the left
About fucking time.
YES YES YES
