Will Australian soil be off limits to Kanye West? The local Minister of Education, Jason Clare, hinted on Wednesday that the American rapper’s “horrible” anti-Semitic remarks could influence the decision to grant him – or not – a visa.
“People like him who have applied for visas to enter Australia have been turned down in the past,” he told Australian outlet ‘Nine News’, as reported CNN.
“If he makes a request, I expect he will have to go through the same process and answer the same questions as them,” he added.
According to CNN, far-right figures have actually had their applications for Australian visas refused in recent years. The American media specifies that Jason Clare’s speech comes as the local press evokes an upcoming trip by the rapper to Australia to meet the family of his alleged companion, Bianca Censori, originally from Melbourne.
Discussions initiated

Hitler’s Apology
Kanye West has aroused general indignation since October by multiplying ever more violent anti-Semitic outings. First by splitting an incoherent tweet with a threatening tone: “I’m a little tired tonight but when I wake up I’m playing ‘death con 3’ against THE JEWS”.
“Death Con 3”, from Complexprobably refers to “Defcon”, a designation defining the level of alert of the American armed forces in the face of a risk of conflict, ranging from 1 to 5.

RollingStone. “I love Hitler,” he said in particular, adding that it was necessary “to stop always attacking the Nazis”.
