Right-wing American online influencer Candace Owens hasn’t been granted a visa and is banned from entering Australia.

Owens is known for spreading anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, which includes the suggestion that Israel was behind the assassination of former US president John F Kennedy.

CEO of the Zionist Federation of Australia Alon Cassuto agrees with the visa ban saying Owens would be “dangerous” for the nation’s social cohesion.

“We feel strongly that this is not about stopping free speech but stopping hate speech,” Cassuto said on 3AW Drive.
