Morrison government bans Milo Yiannopoulos in wake of Christchurch massacre l bevanshields
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.
