Conservative Pundit Candace Owens Banned From New Zealand Due To Her Views On Trans, Jewish & Muslim People

Conservative writer Candace Owens was refused a visa to enter New Zealand for a speaking engagement.

On Nov. 28, Owens was banned from the engagement after she was previously banned from Australia in late October.

The Australian government called her a possible inciter of social division with her opinions on Jewish, Muslim and transgender communities.

Immigration Minister Tony Burke explained that her comments, including wild claims that Israel was founded by a “cult” and that “secret Jewish gangs” run Hollywood, caused the Australian government to act to “lower the temperature” on domestic tensions about the Middle East conflict.

Owens was denied an entertainer’s work permit for New Zealand since, legally speaking, visas cannot be given to those who were excluded from another country, according to Jock Gilray, a spokesperson for the immigration agency.

The conservative pundit was set to speak at events in several Australian cities and in Auckland, New Zealand, in February and March 2025.

When she announced the speaking tour in August, she promised to discuss free speech and her Christian faith with Australian and New Zealand audiences.

Tickets are still on sale, and the promoter’s website, Rocksman, does not mention that she was refused entry to these countries.

During an X livestream in early September, Owens made offensive statements about the origins of Israel and accused its founders of criminal activities connected to a group she called a “cult” of pedophiles.

She declared that this group, which she connected to the early Jewish sect of the Frankists, followers of Jacob Frank, founded Israel and was involved in crimes against European Christians during Passover. She claimed that the Frankists were not true Jews but impostors who participated in many criminal acts, such as ritual murders.

She further claimed that Leo Frank, a Jewish factory superintendent falsely convicted of the 1913 rape and murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, was a Frankist and related to Jacob Frank. According to Owens, Phagan’s murder was part of a ritualistic event timed with Passover, and she accused Frankists of attacking Christians during this Jewish holiday.

The conservative pundit also asserted that Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, was a Frankist and, that Frankists established Israel, and that Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, arranged John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
