Why was Avi Yemini really banned from NZ? - C_T_Russell - 23-10-2022 So much for free speech, he was merely just an independent news reporter, but Jacinda sees him as a threat and dont want him covering things in a negative light. It doesnt matter if you agree with his views or not, this is purely political. https://theplatform.kiwi/podcasts/episode/why-was-avi-yemini-really-banned-from-nz RE: Why was Avi Yemini really banned from NZ? - king1 - 23-10-2022 apparently he has criminal convictions for domestic abuse, lots of countries will block entry on that basis - I'm pretty sure the prime minister doesn't actually have any say in the matter RE: Why was Avi Yemini really banned from NZ? - C_T_Russell - 23-10-2022 Well thats not why he was turned away! Im sure we let in hundreds of people who have had domestic abuse convictions here anyway. He was labelled as an "agitator" thats the reasons he was given.

I'm sure that's what he would have the CT community believe, he was turned away for being an "agitator" Sounds a lot better to the target audience than "they won't let me in the country because I beat up my partner" Quote:The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment confirmed the news in a statement to 1News. RE: Why was Avi Yemini really banned from NZ? - Praktica - 23-10-2022 Who cares why a rightwing poster boy was denied entry. Perhaps we need to start doing something about our local spreaders of lies and deception, as well? RE: Why was Avi Yemini really banned from NZ? - Lilith7 - 23-10-2022 It seems fairly clear why he was banned, really. "Melbourne-based Yemini has been banned from Facebook for allegedly spreading misinformation and hate speech." If even FB has banned him then his ideas must be quite extreme, & the last thing we need here is more nutters spreading CT total bollocks. But of course, the CTers will automatically blame the PM; it seems to be their default reaction. RE: Why was Avi Yemini really banned from NZ? - Oh_hunnihunni - 23-10-2022 There is a point where tolerance slides over into acceptance, if not support. Hey, CT? You know that thing about words... Refused entry, does not mean banned. Just a minor point...

Does Yemeni have a conviction for Domestic Assault? If so is it possible this is the rationale behind him not being granted visitor rights? FWIW I don’t begrudge any NZ Government denying access to Men who beat up Women. Regardless of their Politics.

I believe sensible people should care if a “right-wing poster boy” was denied access for the crime of being a right-wing poster boy If this right-wing poster boy is a convicted Wife Beater then yes access can and should be denied. |
