Kanye West may soon face trouble in Australia for his anti-Semitic comments. According to media reports, the 45-year-old wants to visit the country to visit the family of his new wife and former Yeezy employee Bianca Sensori. After West’s travel plans were reported by various media outlets, Australian Education Minister Jason Clare has now commented on the rapper’s plans.
“I think if he does apply, he will have to go through the same process and answer the same questions as others who have expressed such views,” the politician told the Nine Network television station, referring to the possibility that West would not be granted it.

We have explained our reasons in detail,” Wertheim demanded in an interview with “Sky News”.
