Petition is ON Tony Burke MP desk! Legal Challenge Launched Against Australian Government’s Refusal of Candace Owens’s Visa Amid Growing Public Support November 3, 2024 – Sydney, Australia* — In a bold legal challenge, Candace Owens’s legal team has filed a challenge with the Australian Government contesting its recent decision to deny her visa. The refusal, handed down by Minister for Home Affairs Tony Burke on October 25, has sparked a wave of public backlash, with over 30,000 signatures collected on a petition supporting Ms. Owens’s right to enter Australia. Additionally, a GiveSendGo campaign, part of a broader grassroots effort, has gained significant traction as Australians rally to demand a fair and unbiased review. The challenge, brought forward with strong community support, argues that Minister Burke’s decision was made with clear bias and improper motivations. According to Ms. Owens’s legal representatives, Mr. Burke displayed prejudice against her case from the outset, making public remarks that cast doubt on his impartiality long before a decision was made. Mr. Burke also revealed private details of Ms. Owens’s application to the media, further calling into question his neutrality. A spokesman for Ms. Owens’s tour promoter commented on the overwhelming public support: “Australians are standing up for fair treatment, and this case has struck a chord with thousands. This is about more than just Ms. Owens; it’s about ensuring our government officials are held to the highest standards of fairness and transparency. From the start, Mr. Burke took a personal interest in this case, making disparaging public comments that suggest he was never prepared to give her application a fair and balanced assessment.”
