Snoop banned from Australia

haha this is sooo gay snoop is the man they should roll out the red carpet for him asshole goverment..
American rapper Snoop Dogg poses no threat to Australia, his Los Angeles criminal defence lawyer said.
Federal Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews announced on Thursday he had barred Snoop Dogg, who has a criminal record, from entering Australia for Sunday's MTV Australia Video Music Awards.
"It's really too bad," Donald Etra, who represented Snoop Dogg in a gun and drugs case in a Los Angeles court earlier this month, said.
Snoop loves Australia and Australia loves Snoop."
Etra said Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr, would be well-behaved if allowed to enter Australia.
Asked if there was any danger of Snoop Dogg committing any crimes while in Australia, Etra responded: "Absolutely not".
On April 11 the 35-year-old rapper pleaded no contest to charges of gun possession by a felon and sale or transportation of marijuana.
The charges came after he was arrested at Los Angeles' Bob Hope Airport last October on suspicion of transporting marijuana. Police later found a gun at his home.
Etra said the sentence handed down to his client demonstrated the lightweight nature of the case.
Snoop Dogg was sentenced to five years' probation and 800 hours of community service.
"The judge gave him probation which truly says a lot about the severity of that case," Etra said.
Etra also rejected allegations Snoop Dogg is affiliated with notorious LA gang, the Crips.
"The reality is Snoop has no gang affiliation," the lawyer said.
Andrews referred to the alleged gang affiliation on Thursday while explaining the decision to reject Snoop Dogg's application to enter Australia.
"This man has been a member of a Los Angeles gang - and is still associated with it, apparently - that's been involved in murder, robberies and drug dealing in the LA area," Andrews said.
Snoop Dogg can appeal the Australian government decision, but Etra said he was unsure if his client would do that.
"I do not know what his plans are going to be," Etra said.

yo much love for Snoop but he needs to lay low a lil bit and chill out , like godamn this is the 3rd time this has happened in the last couple weeks. I think he got banned from performing somewhere in Britain too and then there was that beef between him and Bill Orielly... I have to update news for this hiphop site as part of my job so I end up reading all this drama many times a week

he isnt BANNED from australia, he just got his visa REVOKED. thats not the same thing. it means that he can come back at some other time or reapply.
its the same as trying to get into the usa, you have to have a valid reason.
australia turns back alot of people, and we do have rather tight drug and gun control laws, and if one of them is broken in the airport, then fair chance your gonna be sent back home.
criminal record also plays a part in it... im not a major fan of his so i dont know anything about that side of his life, but still.

I just think it's funny that the history of Australia is based on criminals and they are so strict on criminal records.

they should have kept the convicts there to deal with the shitty weather and everyone else moved here.

We all live in Melbourne.
Yes, we were founded as a penal colony, however both America and Australia were founded by social outcasts, just in your case puritans.
