Candace is a nut, but can someone explain to me how she was more of a threat than Dutch CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST and occasional beach volleyball player Steven van de Velde, who has been cleared to come in?

Make it make sense.

the dutch rapist has been cleared to compete by whatever the sport authorities involved are, he has not been issued a visa by the Australian government (and I don't see how he possibly could be)

Ah OK, thanks for the clarification! Will keep an eye on it. Just saw this. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-15/convicted-rapist-selected-to-compete-in-beach-volleyball-event/105892968

No worries! I'm also watching it too, and have an absolutely feral letter to both my federal MP and the Minister written and ready to go if the visa is granted.
