Far-right commentator and conspiracy theory promoter Candace Owens has been blocked from Australia.

The American announced a speaking tour of Australasia next month.

Australia has cancelled her visa application, while Immigration New Zealand is still assessing it.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds told Tim Beveridge it seems Owens was originally allowed to come to Australia before being blocked.

“Is there a right of appeal? I don’t know. The people who are promoting her and are want her to come here no doubt will be looking at avenues like that.”
