welcome to the real world https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/30/uk/bob-vylan-uk-band-glastonbury-us-visa-intl-latam

That's unfair to lump all of the western world in with Australia. We ban a wide variety of things because they make us feel bad and not because it actually hurts anyone.
Johnny depps dogs, right wing authors, sports stars that won't vaccinate, musicians that remind us were racist too, meat, German porn, Chinese fireworks. I think we have put a ban on Russian caviar too. Point is Australia likes to ban.
The uk and Australia doing something hardly makes it true of "the western countries." Rewording to "some western countries" could make the statement true though.
Did you miss the part where the US also revoked their visas? I didn't see it in that specific article, but they were also cancelled from German appearances.
