After being banned from the U.K., Lauren Southern runs into trouble Down Under.
In early March, Lauren Southern, a Canadian darling of white supremacists, learned that she had been barred from the United Kingdom on account of her history of thinly veiled racism.
Now, Southern can add another country to the list of places she can no longer visit.
On Monday, Australian media reported that Southerns application for an Australian visa had been denied. As Sky News Ross Cameron tweeted, the Australian Visa Bureau had declined Southerns application for an Electronic Travel Authority.
Southern promptly took to Twitter to complain, saying she is still attempting to fight for entry.

It comes after the 23-year-old Canadians application for a temporary Electronic Travel Authority was denied, leading to accusations the Australian government was attempting to prevent her from entering the country.
Ms Southern is scheduled to appear in Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland alongside commentator Stefan Molyneux in a series of events hosted by Axiomatic Media later this month.
Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux were advised in writing this morning by their Australian immigration lawyers and migration agents that their applications for working visas subclass 408 have been formally approved, Axiomatic Media founder Luke Izaak said in a statement on Tuesday.
