XCLUSIVE UPDATE: Snoop Dogg Is No Longer Banned From Australia

The ban that prohibited Snoop
Dogg from entering Australia has officially been lifted, not only
allowing Snoop to enter the country, but he is also slated to
tour Australia with fellow West Coast veteran Ice Cube for seventeen
days, starting October 21st. Last year, Snoop was barred from the
country by Australia's former immigration minister Kevin Andrews on
account of Snoop Dogg's extensive criminal record. However, not
everyone is pleased with Australia's decision. Local activist groups
and support groups are fighting to have the ban reinstated. Australian Family Association's Angela Conway claims that "Snoop
trades in toxic messages of menace, violence, misogyny, and
lawlessness. To add to the fire, he's actually had issues with firearms
and drugs." The Victims Of Crime Assistance League (VOCAL) will file a formal complaint with immigration officials. "What's wrong with these social engineers to let such a person into the country?" VOCAL representative Noel McNamara questions. "There is enough violence in the community without importing violent rappers from America."
