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

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.

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?
I do have other cameras!

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.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

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...
