Former Greens leader Bob Brown has been barred from entering Rwanda, with his travel visa revoked at the last minute.

The former Tasmanian senator said he was scheduled to fly to the central African nation on Monday to offer international support for the persecuted local Democratic Green Party.

But on Sunday he received an email stating that his visa, granted in late October, had been cancelled because of "contradictory messages" in his application.

Dr Brown said it was further evidence that the government of Rwandan President Paul Kagame was restricting democracy and crushing political opposition.

"It says a lot about the Kagame government and its very determined efforts not to allow democracy in terms of having free and open political parties function in the country," Dr Brown told AAP on Sunday.

"The government doesn't really want me in the country as a person who comes from a functioning democracy."

Dr Brown agreed to visit Rwanda to support the struggling party - which was banned from the 2010 election there - after meeting its leader Frank Habineza in Senegal this year.

Mr Habineza was arrested and went into exile in Sweden in 2009 after a Greens Party meeting was violently broken up by men wielding sticks, Dr Brown said.

Later, the party's deputy leader was found dead, nearly decapitated.

Mr Brown raised his concerns about the political situation in Rwanda when he met the country's foreign affairs minister Louise Mushikiwabo in 2010 during a Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Australia.

He also flagged his intention to visit Rwanda and has written to Ms Mushikiwabo many times since but hasn't received a reply.

"It's not as if they've had no connection with me," he said.

"They've had weeks to consider my visa application."

Dr Brown has notified Foreign Minister Bob Carr of the cancellation.

Yeah only libs are allowed to complain about sand black people

You can say what you want, and I can too.  You are an absolute wanker bigoted douchebag for your views.  DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH.  To think you would use this to call someone a fudgepacker as opposed to recognising a person is trying to assist others in finding a better life in their country and is being denied by war mongering bastards.  Perhaps you should go to Rwanda you magnificent derro.

Bob Brown is pointing out the political corruption in Rwanda and the  violent dictatorship the people live under.
Hes already done more since his retirement than Abbott has done in all his decades in parliament.

I think you completely misunderstand the concept. I am not stopping you from sharing your view.  And likewise, don't stop me from sharing my view.  Hence, Diversity is our Strength.  And I do agree, making one stare into the mirror is a little unnerving. I hope my opinion of your opinion has made you stare into that mirror a little bit and recognise how moronic, pathetic that opinion was.   This particular issue of Bob Brown not being let into Rwanda did not need your partisan retardation, but rather what it should have showed to you is the misery some other people live in, and how disgusting it is that their government looks to continue to impose that misery through any means possible.

Your idea of expressing an opinion is to abuse other people and shy away from the topic

While it is a form of expression - but does in no way contribute to the the "strength of diversity" equation

There is a huge difference between discussing a topic and demonising people for expression view about a topic

Why not? the moronic lot on here think it's okay, and somehow on topic,
to make fun of Brown's sexuality? How is that on topic? ;D  You want to express demonising views, I think I have every right to express my views on that - if that demonises you well so be it.

Start with perhaps picking up a book every now and then or avoiding half a slab per day.  Or even just cutting your toenails might help.

Perhaps actually discuss the topic rather than call someone a fudgepacker.

what does that have anything to do with Rwanda's cancellation of Brown's visa? Seriously, you are so deluded that it's pointless ever talking to you. Do you ACTUALLY believe that because Gillard thinks Abbott is a misogynist, that the Rwandian government decided it would cancel Brown's visit? And as a result, it's okay to call him a fudgepacker? Go cut your toenails, then we'll talk.

The classic case is Gillard and so is Brown

.....Who the bugger wants to go to Rwanda anyway.

Okay so obviously nobody cares about rwanda. How many refugees will be be getting from there later? Why is it that most of you ppl just want to call him names and trash what he is trying to do? Hypothetically - what  if it was someone else - would you support the cause then? You would wouldn't you.

Bob Carr is foolish for even wanting to set foot in Africa anywhere.
He could be kidnapped and murdered, anything could happen to him.

Not to mention malaria and other exotic diseases.

Surely the federal budget could allow him to talk with Africa by video link.

When White Men are sniffing around Africa, they are inevitably up to no good...

Hang on a minute...is it Bob Brown or Bob Carr who's been denied a visa by Rwanda?

All you homophobic, heteronormative bigots should be ashamed of yourself - fancy implying that the homourable Mr Brown was only planning to visit Africa so he could *ahem* pack fudge.  He's quite capable of doing that at home, thank you very much.  What he is going for goes beyond mere fudgepacking - No, he planned to go so that he could indulge in the local delicacy - EAT DA POO POO.

No - your harsh and vile views are not welcome in Australia.

At least not in  New South Wales, Queensland, the Australian Capital Territory or Tasmania - where your vilification on the grounds of sexual preference is an unlawful act.

Example, in QLD:
Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 - Section 124A
A person must not, by a public act, incite hatred towards, serious contempt for, or severe ridicule of, a person or group of persons on the ground of the race, religion, sexuality or gender identity of the person or members of the group.

The worst genocides of the 20th and 21st Centuries

Mao Ze-Dong (China, 1958-61 and 1966-69, Tibet 1949-50)      49-78,000,000

Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1939-1945)      12,000,000 (concentration camps and civilians deliberately killed in WWII plus 3 million Russian POWs left to die)

Leopold II of Belgium (Congo, 1886-1908)      8,000,000

Jozef Stalin (USSR, 1932-39)      6,000,000 (the gulags plus the purges plus Ukraine's famine)

Hideki Tojo (Japan, 1941-44)      5,000,000 (civilians in WWII)

Ismail Enver (Turkey, 1915-20)      1,200,000 Armenians (1915) + 350,000 Greek Pontians and 480,000 Anatolian Greeks (1916-22) + 500,000 Assyrians (1915-20)

Pol Pot (Cambodia, 1975-79)      1,700,000

Kim Il Sung (North Korea, 1948-94)      1.6 million (purges and concentration camps)

Menghistu (Ethiopia, 1975-78)      1,500,000

Yakubu Gowon (Biafra, 1967-1970)      1,000,000

And just what is the penalty for harsh and vile views held by some in our community? Are we to be invited in for afternoon tea with the Premier where he will tell us not to be vile?


Quote:

THE NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has asked the Family and Community Services Department to investigate the use of a young child photographed holding an sign calling for the beheading of those who insult the prophet. "I asked the minister yesterday what can be done," he said on radio this morning. He expected to have a reply sometime today. The image of a Muslim mother photographing the little boy with the sign has infuriated the public, including members of the Muslim community. [...] http://www.news.com.au/national/probe-into-boy-holding-beheading-sign/story-fncynjr2-1226475238920

What defence did the mother of that little muslim turd offer? She said she didn't know what behead meant as she was just a simple 28-year-old university graduate from Jordan. Has she been removed from Australia? Have you insisted she and her turd of a child be removed from Australia?

The vile views you detest are arriving in Australia daily aided and abetted by goons like you. Eat it.

I didn't know fudge packer was an insult. I'm just a 28-year-old, university educated turd from Jordan. If that won't work I'll claim my vile views are part of my religion. EAT IT.
