Chris Brown has been denied entry into Australia over his history of domestic violence.

On Friday, after mounting pressure from anti-domestic violence advocates, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton indicated that the singer might be barred from entering the country on "character grounds".

In 2009, Brown offered a guilty plea to a charge of felony assault, after he viciously attacked then-girlfriend Rihanna, leaving her with facial injuries that required hospitalisation. He was sentenced to five years' probation in relation to the crime.

Over the weekend, the singer was issued with a notice of intent to refuse him a visa to enter Australia, in line with the Migration Act, which allows the government to bar individuals with a "substantial criminal record."

Tickets for Brown's Australian shows were due to go on sale tomorrow - he currently has the option to challenge the notice, or withdraw his application to come to Australia, and cancel said shows, which are scheduled for December.

Minister For Women Michaelia Cash spoke out about Brown while his application was still being considered, saying:

"People need to understand, if you are going to commit domestic violence and then you want to travel around the world there are going to be countries that say to you 'You cannot come in because you are not of the character that we expect in Australia'."

Why? Rihanna doesn't care about it anymore so why should anyone else? They only care bc it's celebs like seriously get over it. The hot thing was a joke - clearly I don't think being hot puts you above being barred from a country Tom

Australia .defend yourself from this criminal

[Iceman]

As if he gives a **** lol.

He's clearly been forgiven by Rihanna. Seems it's impossible for him to move on. It's been 6 years.

Australia is an overly controlling and censorship heavy country. Their actions shouldn't be supported simply because you dislike the person that it's affecting in this specific scenario.

[JoshBB]

Good move.

[Liam-]

He served the sentence he was given for committing the crime, so I don't think it's right for him to carry on being punished.

[Ashley.]

If Tila wasn't allowed on Big Brother then Chris Brown shouldn't be allowed in Australia x

[Brother Leon]

Sucks for his fans there mostly really.

[Gstar]

They didn't let him in the Country because he's black but they're covering it up with a cheap excuse

I wonder if Ted Bundy would've tried his luck on this part?

And tbh I feel sorry for Chris Brown if he really has changed his ways, but a country has their own thugs to deal with on a daily basis, they don't want to take on a past thug from a foreign country too.

[Locke.]

Guess he'll just have to do with being #1 and touring in every other country on the planet then

What's the point SEan Penn beat Madonna for 9 hours but he's been back there.
