Australia flags denying U.S. whistleblower Chelsea Manning entry visa
Australia has signaled it is preparing to ban U.S. whistleblower Chelsea Manning from entering the country ahead of a scheduled speaking tour, the organizer of the engagements said. Manning, the transgender U.S. Army soldier who served seven years in military prison for leaking classified data, is scheduled to speak at the Sydney Opera House at the weekend.
However, Suzi Jamil, owner of the company organizing Manning's speaking tour in Australia, said late on Wednesday Manning had received a notice from the Australian government informing her Canberra was considering cancelling her visa. [...] Australian law allows the immigration minister to deny anyone a visa if they do not pass a character test, a broad criteria that affords the government sweeping powers.
Manning is scheduled to travel to New Zealand after finishing her three events in Australia but the center-right opposition National Party has also called for her to be denied entry.

Which is nice, yes.
Sadly for you the stories of left wing nutters being assholes are fewer and far between. But hey, at least you got to hate on a generic AC post. Feel better or do we need to proceed with the coffee enema?
Next up: AC spams some shitposts! is it the same AC? The world may never know.

Why were all of aristarchus' submissions on Australia banning alt-right Canadian whites like Southern rejected, and this one accepted? Please tell me it is not just to get a rise (literally?) out of Runaway!

Apparently you have a selective memory.
The Antifa are compiling quite a record of bad behavior and quite a few of them are in FBI files now ( ask me how I know that ...).

The Antifa are leftists and there are plenty of examples of them behaving very badly indeed.
