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.

Whereas, you applied for a visa on the cocksucker visa track, you miserable illiterate piece of subhuman waste.

Objection! Excusable mistake, you couldn't have known it, but I applied and been granted the visa on the "skilled immigration" track, lodging heaps of my credentials with my application. That would make me a "Australian government certified skilled cocksucker".
Now that you know, I expect you to pay the same respect that you so much seem to demand from others.

You can "expect" all you want, but since you didn't apologize to me, there's no fucking way you
get an apology from me, you stupid sack of shit.
Shame on Australia for allowing a piece of mannerless garbage like you to live there.
I hope you get cancer and it hurts you so badly you beg for death to come.
That's the respect I have for you, you worthless garbage. When you are dead, thanks to cancer,
the world will be a better place.

Lemme guess. The "School of dance and good manners" you graduated was actually "Dance? Bullshit, only fucking good manners taught here", right?
