[World War II has been over for 80 years but politically correct Australia has cancelled the visa of musician and Trump supporter Kanye West, now known as Ye. His prsent wife come from Australia. Some 30 years ago, Australia cancelled the visa of lecturer, historian and World War II revisionist David Irving, whose daughter had lived there for many years. Amusingly, according to the National Post (July 3, 2025), Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, insisted “Australian citizens have freedom of speech.” Tell that to political prisoners and jailed thought criminals like the late Dr. Fredrik Toben! Sure, Mr. Burke and kangaroos are fish.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) \u2014 Ye, the U.S. rapper formerly known as Kanye West<\/a>, was recently stripped of an Australian visa after he released his single \u201cHeil Hitler,\u201d a government minister said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke revealed Ye has been traveling for years to Australia, where his wife of three years, Bianca Censori<\/a>, was born. Her family live in Melbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burke said \u201cHeil Hitler,\u201d released in May, promoted Nazism. The song has been criticized as an antisemitic tribute to German dictator Adolf Hitler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been coming to Australia for a long time. He\u2019s got family here. And he\u2019s made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again once he released the \u2019Heil Hitler\u2019 song and he no longer has a valid visa in Australia,\u201d Burke told Australian Broadcasting Corp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry,\u201d Burke added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ye\u2019s representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia\u2019s Migration Act sets security and character requirements for non-citizens to enter the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia\u2019s largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne<\/a>, have seen a spate of antisemitic attacks since the war between Israel and Hamas<\/a> began on Oct. 7, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
