SYDNEY: The Australian government canceled the visa of a far-right Israeli politician on Monday ahead of a speaking tour. Simcha Rothman, whose party is part of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition, had been scheduled to speak at events organized by the Australian Jewish Association. But Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said Australia would not accept people coming to the country to “spread division.” “If you are coming to Australia to spread a message of hate and division, we don’t want you here,” he said.
