Australia could refuse entry to US singer Chris Brown, due to his history of domestic violence. Brown received backlash on social media when he announced his Australian tour dates for November, whilst posters and billboards promoting his shows have been vandalised. The R&B star has encountered difficulties entering countries before, with Britain blocking his plans to perform there in 2010, and Canada denying him entry at the border earlier this year. He could be denied entry to New Zealand for a mooted December show. Australia has previously refused a visa for world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather under similar circumstances.
