10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

I don’t consider myself a defender of Owens, and I often see her name associated with conservative, right wing publications.
I have tried to watch her YouTube videos and from what I can make out, she comes to her own conclusions and simply is prepared to make arguments and defend her positions. I respect that even if I don’t necessarily agree with everything she says. She discusses current topics, and often walks audiences through her logic along the way.
Australia suggests to deny her entry for various reasons - including that she’s divisive. This is a bit of whataboutism, and I’ll point out Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA (and Turning Point Australia apparently) was ALSO intending to travel to Australia prior to his assassination.
I’m not fans of either, but I take note of the media focus, and lack of focus. I highlight that here for you too.

Plenty of people are denied entry to countries not sure why this weirdo is getting air time over it.
