InShort: Australia cancels Israeli politician’s visa

AFP :

The Australian government cancelled the visa of a far-right Israeli politician on Monday ahead of a speaking tour, a move event organisers tagged “viciously antisemitic”.

Simcha Rothman, whose party is part of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition, had been scheduled to speak at events organised by the Australian Jewish Association.

But Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said Australia would not accept people coming to the country to “spread division”.
