Far-right commentator and conspiracy theory promoter Candace Owens has been blocked from Australia.
The American announced a speaking tour of Australasia next month.
Australia has cancelled her visa application, while Immigration New Zealand is still assessing it.
Australian correspondent Murray Olds told Tim Beveridge it seems Owens was originally allowed to come to Australia before being blocked.
“Is there a right of appeal? I don’t know. The people who are promoting her and are want her to come here no doubt will be looking at avenues like that.”

Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talks. It'd be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Very good morning to Murray.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Old's good a Murray Tim Very good morning, mate, Very
good morning.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Yeah, excellent.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Now Queensland's in the throw of the throes of its elections.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
What's the latest. Well, look, the latest has been a
change of government.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It's astonishing to think in thirty the last thirty five years,
Labour's been in charge for thirty There's been five years
of a right a center right coalition government and we're
in for another four because they're fixed terms in Queensland.
And look it's at a state level. You'd have to think, mate,
that it was time for change. You had Anastasia Talishay
(00:52):
there she basically, according to the critics, bankrupt of the state.
When things got tough and she was on the no
she bails out and gives the baton to Steven Miles.
They call him Giggles up there because he just drove
the bus straight off the cliff, said that he wants
to hang around a big leader of the opposition. On
(01:14):
the other side, you've got the Colp Country Liberal Party
under David CHRISP.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Fooley.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Now we don't know a whole lot about him. He's
kind of risen without a trace. He's been knocking on
the door.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
For a while.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
And basically the thing that brought Labor really undone was
youth crime in some parts of the state of Queensland.
I mean, people just won't go out at night frightened
of young kids running a mark in their communities. You
throw into that mix, you've got the cost of living
as well, and also Labor just being on the nose.
(01:49):
And it's very interesting because not only did the Conservatives
win this election pretty handsomely, the margin when I went
to bed last night the margin still wasn't one hundred
percent confirmed. But yes, the Conservatives have won, Labor's lost,
But the big losers appear to be the Greens. They
had They have three federal seats in the Federal Parliament
(02:12):
in Brisbane alone, so the Greens of a significant presence
up there. But I'll tell you what, they're right on
the nose federally blocking things all over the place that
Anthony Albanzi and the federal Labor government want to get through.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
So it's interesting at a state level.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But then you look to May next year, there's a
federal election that must be held before then.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Albanese is leading a one term government.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Can he get back well the polls, say Peter Dutton,
who you wouldn't feed for many many people, he says
no to everything. Dutton is very very close. Indeed, I
mean two party preferred. It's fifty to fifty, a bit
like we're looking at in the United States. So look,
it's fascinating, you know for those people a bit like myself,
a bit nerdy, who like to look at the entrails
(02:55):
of these things.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Look it is. It is potentially quite significant because Peter.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Dutton comes from Queensland, very very popular in his home state,
in the same way Kevin rudw was back in two
thousand and seven. They've never had more seats labor federally
than they did under Kevin Rudd.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I think really, because the state politics can be quite
different to the national politics. But do you think it
how much do you think it really will play into
the federal election.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
It's a very good point you make.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
State issues are state elections are fought largely on state issues,
but this may be it may bleed into the federal
election because the Greens have been really thrashed at the
state level. There are still a significant presence federally. Is
that going to last? Well, I'm not sure. Dutton is
of course a Queenslander. Dunton wants to promote nuclear power
(03:44):
all over the country. Wants to cite seven new nuclear
reactors it abandoned power stations, two of which are in Queensland,
promising jobs and reliable energy for everybody.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yes, state issues decided state elections, but I think this
is going to bleed into the federal one.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I really do.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I'm actually quite almost relieved a mine. On topic you
mentioned about young kids and violence in the streets and stuff.
I was almost relieved to hear you say that, because
sometimes we assume that New Zealand we're the only ones
with that problem.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
But oh no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And if you look, for example, it's across the border
in the Northern Territory they are just tearing themselves to
bits over youth crime in for example, Elie Springs.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I mean, it is a true thing.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I mean, I've got talkback radio on the weekend here
in Sydney. We go out up and down the East
coast and there are you know, the gray nomads who
are crisscrossing Australia. Now, a lot of them are not
stopping in Alla Springs. They will fill up south or
north of Alice Springs, drive straight through that little city
and go out the other side. They will not stop
in town because they'll find their cars are necked. They'll
(04:48):
find there, you know, they're getting bailed up by very
young kids in the street and give me your wallet,
you know, otherwise we'll punch the lights out of you.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I mean, it's just dreadful. These kids should be home.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
They shouldn't be out marauding, you know, marauding the streets.
And it's it's a cliche, but it's true. And it's
the same in parts of Queensland. People won't go out
at night.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Mate, Australia has canceled Candice Owen's visa.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, now what this is about. I'm not one hundred
percent sure. Look a minute ago it was okay to come.
All of a sudden someone said, oh hang on, hang on,
and all of a sudden it's not where this goes.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I mean, is there a right of appeal?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I don't know the people who want who are promoting
her and wanted to come here no doubt we'll be.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Looking at avenues like that. Owen's herself, who knows.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
But to be honest, I mean, it doesn't really rock
my boat about you.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
If it comes, it doesn't come a big deal.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I mean, I'm much more interested in the all Blacks
and the fact that US beaten India twice.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Oh absolutely, actually yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I mean, look, I'm not a fan of her, and
she's leaning into Holocaust and island things. But I don't
know about shutting down voices like that. I'd rather that
people have got things to say. We don't like that,
we hear them, and I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
It's all too easy, isn't it, just to shut them down,
say no, don't come. We've seen many examples of that
in Australi in recent times, where governments have said, oh no, you're.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Far too controversy. What are we wrapped in cotton wool?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I mean, if you bring people out like Owens, you know,
denies the Holocaust all of a sudden, what's that phrase
that cliche about sunlight is the best distance.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
That's actually one of my thing. It's half it's done
on the public stage.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
And just watch them, yeah, watch them, you know, pull
their own arguments to Pete.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
They just looked like idiots.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I'm glad you're excited about the cricket, though, Murray, because
it's pretty phenomenal, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Man, you'll be fin he got what fifteen fourteen, fifteen
wickets or something?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Was that? Hadley? Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I think they've got fourteen wickets in that Test match?
Got cold twice. I think I think he was pretty
surprised himself. He was pretty surprised himself. And I mean,
given that he'd been sort of written off by some
illuminaries such as Ian Smith the commentator and things, it's
I mean, the performance is the best response.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So that's a daisy, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Look Sorry, I was going to say, where was Kane Williamson.
I'm going to cross that was he injured.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I'm not a cricket enough buff to be able to
tell you. I've got colleagues who will be all over
this and I'll but now I don't know. I can't
help you there, Murray. I'll have to google that one
for you anyway. Hey, China taking ahead of Australia.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, because Australia, well, rightly or wrongly, you know there
are people here apologists almost for China. So listen that
China's our most significant trading partner and we have to
treat them with kid gloves. Others are same. Well, no,
you've got to call out human rights abuses where you
see them. The Wigas in western China are being treated abominably.
(07:45):
According to very reliable sources. The Chinese won't let anyone in,
so how do we know? But China then points the
finger back and says, well, what about the way you
treat indigenous people in Australia.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
It's the flashes, Look is it when.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You've got three percent of the population, it's about thirty
percent of the prison population.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
It's just on every level.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
On every single level in this country, the relationship between
the State Being Australia and Indigenous Australians is dreadful, not
helped by people like Lydia Thorbo I would say, I mean, look,
I was prepared to color some slack because I thought
she was well meaning, well intentioned. She's just the publicity hound.
I mean, in my view, I just think she's after
(08:27):
a headline. She got one when the king was here.
But look, for China, it's the billions of dollars that
are at stake, coal, iron, ore, sheep, beef, lobsters, for
God's sake, all sorts of stuff that China buys from
Australia into the many, many tens of billions of dollars
every year. We have to protect that at all costs.
So look a bit of argie bargie over human rights.
(08:49):
It's never stopped anyone over here before pointing your finger
at China and China's you know it's going to push back,
isn't it. I mean we've seen that already in many,
many occasions.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And by the way, yeah, Kane Williamson, just for just
to update you on that cricket I did a bit
of Google. He missed the second cricket test because he
had a groin injury. He hadn't recovered from that, so
you go.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
So Tom Latham steps in and guides news in onto
an historic victory.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Fantastic, amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, good stuff. Hey, great to talk to Murray all
the best.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Thanks buddy, nice to speak to you all the best.
