Why Candace Owens is banned from Australia

The highest court in Australia has upheld a decision preventing far-right U.S. commentator Candace Owens from entering the country. Owens was planning a multi-city speaking tour when her visa was blocked by Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke last year.   At the time, Burke said Owens has the power to “incite discord in almost every direction,” and that her tour would not be in Australia’s best interest.  She launched a legal challenge, but Owens’ visa appeal was dismissed in a judgment handed down on Wednesday.  Today, we're unpacking who Owens is, why the Government blocked her entry, and what this week’s High Court decision means.
