Proud Boys Founder Gavin McInnes Denied Visa to Australia Over Character Test
The Epoch Times ^ | 30 NOV 2018 | ZACHARY STIEBER

Posted on 11/30/2018 6:59:18 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The founder of the conservative Proud Boys group has been denied a visa to Australia after he planned a speaking tour of the country that was slated to start on Dec. 5.

Gavin McInnes, a Canadian writer and comedian who founded the Proud Boys and co-founded Vice Media and Vice magazine, planned a speaking tour called “The Deplorables” across the country, but may not be able to conduct it after Australia’s Home Affairs Department determined he failed the character test to get a visa.

Section 501 of the Migration Act states that visa applicants fail the character test if the applicant has a substantial criminal record, if the applicant is part of a group that has been or is involved in criminal conduct, or there is a risk the person would engage in criminal conduct, vilify a segment of the Australian community, or incite discord in the community.

McInnes’s visa application was blocked with the department, he confirmed on Nov. 30.

“Good. Getting screamed at by a bunch of delusional SJWs [social justice warriors] isn’t exactly the best environment for comedy. I find it interesting that the media found out before our lawyers did,” he told News.com.au in a text message. “Fake news truly trumps the justice system in Australia—and in America for that matter.”

Unlike us, they are really tough on letting people in.

They actually have a TV show that is call “Border Control” or something like this. The show documents and brags about how Australia identifies people illegally trying to enter or bring forbidden items into the country.

My wife had to go through a somewhat enhanced entry procedure at the Sydney airport since their automated system thought that her passport photo didn’t match the digital scan that they took.

I was fascinated about this and watched this show several evenings when my wife and I visited Australia in September.

I can remember Austraila before it went totally homo.

I did my R&R there in 1969 and did many joint operations with Aussie Marines.

It is within a nation’s right to deny a visa.

It’s going world wide. It will be part of the New World Order control of dissent.

No doubt a flaming Communist, an advocate of pederasty, or some anti-white, anti-Christian jihadist could enter Australia without any problems. The once tough Australians surrendered most of their firearms without much protest. The government official’s rhetoric about freedom of expression is about as meaningless as the rights of man listed in Stalin’s Soviet Constitution. Too bad for the Land Down Under, where womyn growl and wimps stutter.

“vilify a segment of the Australian community”

Islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.

That fact doesn’t “vilify” muslims. They’re just kept stupid by their cult.

Australia has submitted like their cousins in England.
Telling the truth about Islam will not be tolerated.

It took a very short time for Australia to fold. I am quite surprised having known Australian soldiers and a few citizens.

“Unlike us, they are really tough on letting people in.” You can say that again. We need a character test asap.

Anyone not meeting their standards will be selectively targeted. They’ll not be able to fly, for instance. Then it will get really repressive and into the full tyrannical stage.

Closing bank accounts, pensions, Social Security, etc. will be another tactic. People like Clinton, Obama, Brennan would do that right now if they could.

The "Australian" lezbo lawyer who spearheaded the "Keep Gavin OUT" effort:

Wanna see her photo..?

Oh, sure, I'll bet she's a surfer and puts them shrimp on the barbie, eh..?

Yeah, that's her, I'm serious. SHE IS AUSTRALIAN..!

What a JOKE..!

Just virtue-signaling whites pretending what their former “colonizeds” thinks - about anything. I doubt that “lawyer” lives within miles of any wealthy liberal Australians...
