    I note that the article doesn’t actually outline the grounds on which they were denied, just the application was delayed meaning they weren’t granted in time for travel.

    For a second here I thought the applicants dobbed themselves in, because at the end of all Australian visa applications it asks you about war crimes.

    This is how it read back in 2020: “Has any applicant ever been charged with, or indicted for: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, torture, slavery, or any other crime that is otherwise of a serious international concern?”

    And someone actually ticking yes on that question is just nuts. Surely they did not tick yes.

      Australia has had, including perpetrators, 17 total deaths from terrorism in history. The worst of which resulted in 6 deaths(3 perpetrators) and that was a Christian extremist group and a shooting. No terror attacks have been committed involving a car running people over, however the 2018 Melbourne Stabbing involved the perpetrator setting his car on fire prior to the attack. (The attack was likely inspired by ISIS, however it was triggered by mental health issues.)

      In other words, you’re full of shit and should fuck off and rethink your life you racist little twerp.

      (Note that this does exclude the large amounts of massacres against first nations people, which were far larger and were often intended to invoke terror.)

      Try not being a war criminal, and then you won’t be stopped by the anti war criminal laws.

      I’m sure when terrorist do gain entry to a country they list it as their reason for visiting on their visa applications. “Here to do a terrorism, give visa pls”.

      Any person that commits war crimes is denied, being from a rich developed country is not a part of the decision.

      but those from rich and developed countries are denied?

      Rich developed, currently involved in a racist genocide countries, you meant. That is correct. Those people should not be permitted to enter any civilized country and should all be on a terrorism watchlist.
