Antisemitic influencer Candace Owens has been banned from entering New Zealand for a speaking engagement, following Australia's rejection of her visa request. Owens, a U.S. conservative political commentator, has been accused of promoting conspiracy theories and antisemitism. She has also faced criticism for her remarks opposing Black Lives Matter, feminism, vaccines, and immigration. New Zealand officials cited her exclusion from another country as the reason for denying her entertainer's work permit. Owens is scheduled to speak at events in Australia and New Zealand in 2025, but there is no acknowledgement of her visa rejections on the promoter's website.
