The self-inflicted implosion of Candace Owens’ public career hit another milestone Sunday, as Australian officials deemed her antisemitic rhetoric too toxic for their shores.

“From downplaying the impact of the Holocaust with comments about German SS officer Josef Mengele through to claims that Muslims started slavery, Candace Owens has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction,” announced Immigration Minister Tony Burke. “Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else.”

Owens, who was dismissed from conservative media company The Daily Wire in March following a series of antisemitic comments, had planned a speaking tour with tickets selling for $100.

Jewish groups had been campaigning since August for the visa cancellation, when Burke first indicated he would block her entry, telling media outlets: “Tickets to these events are selling for $100. I hope she has a good refunds policy.”

Her visa cancellation received rare bipartisan support, with Opposition immigration spokesman Dan Tehan backing the government’s move to prevent the spread of what he termed “hateful messages.”

Owens has a long history of vocal antisemitism and Holocaust revisionism. On one occasion, she suggested a systematic effort by Israel to persecute Germans after the Holocaust. She has faced particular scrutiny for describing Nazi doctor Mengele’s experiments on Auschwitz prisoners as “bizarre propaganda” and claiming that Israel was founded by a “cult.”

Moreover, Owen’s defense of Kanye West’s antisemitic remarks about Jewish influence in media and her accusations of “secret Jewish gangs” controlling Hollywood have led the Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC) to applaud Australia’s decision to ban the rabid antisemite.

“A known peddler of dangerous rhetoric against Jews and other groups, and unapologetic Holocaust denier, is a victory for the millions of Jewish souls and millions of others whose memory she so shamelessly desecrated,” the ADC wrote on X.

“This is more than just a visa being revoked. This is a tribute to every single survivor who bore witness to the horrors of Auschwitz.”

    What absolute rubbish that Israelis
    supporting the Armenians to murder the
    Christians. Where on earth did she suck
    that from. Candace has a kind of obsessive
    jealousy about Jews . I know that her and Ben Shapiro were at logger heads for a while before
    she was told to leave. She is an anti semite and
    she can be if that’s what makes her happy , BUT
    be honest Some of her rhetoric that I have
    watched has made sense and I have enjoyed
    listening to her. She is bright and articulate but
    lady get off that hateful stuff you have about
    Jewish people .

    Is she on drugs or has her body been taken over by a dybbuk? She needs an exorcist.
    Christians are the most persecuted religion?
    Christian history has been hands down the most barbaric, colonising religion in the history of planet earth. Worse than even than the Muslims.
    ” Onward Christian Soldiers”. Their European tribal wars , their infighting between protestants and catholics, there persecution of other ” Christian ” denominations led to English citizens to abandon England and establish the United States. Their murderous rampage against Muslims, their savage and never-ending jealousy and persecution of Jews in Europe: Spanish Portugal inquisition, pogroms and ghettos in England, Germany, Austria, Italy, the Cossacks of Russia, their Pale of Settlement, Easter European Jewish persecution and torture…. And the Holocaust. All in the name of Jesus Christ a Jew – who lived and died a Jew and was only re-invented as a “ Christian” 80 years later by Paul. The British Empire taken over huge masses of Africa, India with brutal Christianity Colonialism… ad nauseam.
    Candace… climb back into your miserable little hate hole with your miserable antisemitic husband and rid the world of another wannabe Hitlerite.

    I disagree with Candace, and you hold the flip side, and I disagree with you. There are elements of truth in what each of you say, but to extrapolate that to cover all Jewish and all Christian?
