Australia may block US singer Chris Brown from entering the country because of his domestic violence conviction.<\/p>\n
Brown’s announcement last week he would tour in December sparked criticism on social media and an online petition.<\/p>\n
The Federal government said on Thursday it was reviewing Brown’s visa application in light of his conviction.<\/p>\n
Australia’s Minister for Women, Senator Michaelia Cash, said the government was not afraid to “say no”.<\/p>\n
“People need to understand, if you are going to commit domestic violence and you want to travel around the world, there are going to be countries that say to you, ‘You cannot come in because you are not of the character that we expect in Australia'”, Senator Cash said.<\/p>\n
