| Subject: OZschwitz rights violation: US anti-abortion activist denied visa because 'his speeches could incite community harm' Fri Oct 30, 2015 2:41 am | |
| A controversial US anti-abortion campaigner will not challenge Australia's decision to cancel his visa because it is too expensive.
Troy Newman, the head of anti-abortion organisation Operation Rescue, was due to speak at a national tour during October organised by pro-life group Right to Life Australia.
However, he was denied entry after landing in Melbourne, and then deported, after Immigration Minister Peter Dutton decided to revoke his visa out of concern his speeches could incite community harm.
Right to Life Australia on Friday said it was "inherently unfair", but legal action against the Commonwealth was being dropped.
