The British activist ‘Tommy Robinson’ has been banned from traveling to Australia for a speaking tour after he was denied a visa by the government.

He had been lined up to speak in five cities in the country, alongside other right-wingers such as Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes and Milo Yiannopoulos.

However, the people behind the ‘Deplorables’ tour, which was due to start in Perth on Friday, said that Mr Robinson’s application had yet to be passed by the authorities.

Mr McInnes has been refused entry to the country, while Mr Yiannopoulos is waiting to find out whether he will be allowed in to Australia.

The Australian Department of Home Affairs told The Independent newspaper that they wouldn’t comment on individual cases but “all non-citizens entering Australia must meet the character requirements set out in the Migration Act 1958 prior to the grant of any visa.”

“For visitors who may hold controversial views, any risk they may pose will be balanced against Australia’s well-established freedom of speech and freedom of beliefs, amongst other relevant considerations,” the statement added.

National requirements for visitors to the country demand that they have no substantial criminal record and that they show “good general behaviour”.

He has also been threatened with legal action over alleged defamation by the family of a Syrian refugee who was attacked at school and YOutube have stopped ads from running in his videos
