JOHN Howard doesn't know a lot about American rapper Snoop Dogg, but he knows enough to back the decision to refuse him an entry visa to Australia this weekend. Speaking on Melbourne radio station 3AW yesterday, the Prime Minister said the reasons for banning Snoop Dogg from Australia were sound.
The singer and actor was due to perform and present an award at tomorrow's MTV Music Video Awards in Sydney, but was refused a visa this week, following a string of convictions for firearms and drug offences in the US.
On those grounds, Snoop Dogg failed the character test that would have allowed him into Australia, Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews said on Thursday.
Mr Howard said yesterday there were "certain judgments that are made on certain advice and I can't go into it but the reasons for banning him are sound". He added: "Judgments have got to be made about the, how shall I put it, the accumulated behaviour of people who seek to come to this country."
International celebrities who would otherwise have been accompanying Snoop Dogg on his flight from Los Angeles to Sydney began arriving for the MTV event early yesterday.
First through the gates was Aussie-girl-made-good Sophie Monk, best known for her success with pop group Bardot. She now has a movie career in the US.
The star of the morning was Black Eyed Peas singer and now solo artist Fergie, who signed autographs while walking through the airport in high heels and tight aqua skinny jeans. Asked if she was happy to be in Australia she said: "Love it."
TV presenter Darren McMullen said he was still hopeful Snoop Dogg would be given a visa. "It is possible, a slight chance, we remain positive," he said. "Snoop is pretty gutted".

Australia has the good common sense to not allow the thug into their country.

Well, Snoop is a self-professed “gangsta” and “playa/pimp”. He is brilliant in that he found a way to make money from stupid kids and adults.
Bravo, Australia, Bravo!
It’s about time someone started giving scum like this the respect they deserve.
Snoop is representative of a huge problem in the U.S. I can’t even remember the number of TV shows where he’s guest-starred, and the number of commercials he’s done (I do remember him being on one for AOL). He’s self-professed drug user and pimp who, along with his entourage, acts like a spoiled, selfish, thug. And he has been embraced by the MSM and numerous corporate interests. The Australians will take some heat for this, but they have the sense that many Americans lack.
With nonjudgmentalism too highly valued these days, it’s encouraging to find a nation acting on character judgment, IMHO correctly.
Yes, finally this sinister thug has experienced the consequences of his actions. Too bad he’s never had that experience here. One look at him and you know it’s not something you want on your street, ir your neighborhood or in your country, for that matter.
The bad part is they’ll let his stupid ass back in the US.
"Singer"? SINGER??? Show Me ONE instance where this piece of effluence can do anything other than croak offensive words and phrases!!!
Ol’ Dogg be goin’ there fo’ humanitarian reasons, baby! Gots to teach dem Aborigines to Rap on, brotha!/s;)
Foshizzle.
O... 
kay...
To bad we can’t deny him entry back into the US on the same grounds.
Is that a Spanish colonoscopy?
first class... 8^)
