  • Country:
  • New Zealand

Candace Owens, a notable conservative political commentator, has been refused entry into New Zealand and Australia, reportedly due to her contentious statements.

In Australia, the visa denial follows Owens' comments denying Nazi medical experiments on Jews. Immigration Minister Tony Burke stated she could incite discord.

New Zealand's refusal was based on visa regulations that bar entry if one has been excluded from another country. Owens' speaking tour has not been canceled despite these setbacks.
