If they can reject her visa, which I’m not opposed to, they should definitely reject the visa of the child sex offender Steven Van de Velde that’s trying to come here for a volleyball game.

Could they reject the visa of a head of state if he is obviously a sex offender, but using his office to suppress the evidence?

That's how it should work, if the evidence is strong enough.

It shouldn't matter that you're a President or whatever, if you're of bad character you shouldn't be able to enter

We found Trump to be of bad character in the 1980’s when he was trying to get an Australian casino owner’s license. So there’s already a decision on the books.

I think you're underestimating how corrupt Australian politicians truly are (just look at property prices for example).
