The Free Speech Union is considering legal action over a far-right US commentator being banned from the country. 

Candace Owens promotes antisemitic conspiracy theories, has downplayed aspects of the Holocaust and has made offensive comments about Muslims. 

Immigration New Zealand has denied her a work visa for a speaking tour - because she was banned from Australia. 

Free Speech Union Chief Executive Jonathan Ayling says they think the Crown has acted unlawfully. 

"Yes, we'll definitely take them to court - we're going to appeal to the Immigration Minister first though, and any associate Immigration Ministers. Chris Penk is the one who deals with appeal cases like that."
