Australia Lifts Snoop Dogg Ban!!!!!!!

Australia has officially lifted a ban that prevented Snoop from entering the country.

According to immigration officials, the Snoop D-O-Double G will be
allowed to enter the "land down under" to embark on a 17-day tour with
fellow West Coast native Ice Cube.

Snoop was originally banned from the country back in 2007 due to what
former Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews said was his "extensive
criminal record."

Snoop was also banned from Britain after an alleged physical altercation with security at Heathrow Airport in 2006.

Although British officials later cleared him of any wrong doing in the
incident, some activist groups in Australia are still calling for their
ban to be reinstated.

"Snoop Dogg's trades in toxic messages of menace, violence, misogyny,
and lawlessness," Angela Conway told Australia's Herald Sun. "To add to
the fire, he's actually had issues firearms and drugs."

Victims Of Crime Assistance League or VOCAL has also filed an official
complaint and are said to be protesting the rapper's appearance.

"What's wrong with these social engineers to let such a person into the
country?" said VOCAL representative Noel McNamara. "There is enough
violence in the community without importing
violent rappers from America."
