Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopolous to return to Australia – with some controversial company

Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopolous is returning to Australia later this year with right-wing mouthpiece Ann Coulter after his last tour sparked violent protests.

The pair will arrive in Queensland in late November ahead of events on the Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

A website selling tickets to the events says that the topics covered by the speakers will include ‘gender fluidity in schools, multiculturalism, and South African genocide.’

The tour includes speaking dates with tickets ranging in price from $79 for general admission to $449 for VIP tickets.

There are also VIP yacht cruise tickets available at the Gold Coast and Sydney for $899 a piece.

The website says these tickets include a ‘private 1.5 hour mingle with Milo and Ann.’ 

The news follows on from Canadian alt-right speaker Lauren Southern’s recent tour of Australia.

Coulter is a former New York city lawyer who has become a prominent conservative social and political commentator.  

She has written 12 best-selling books, including ‘Adios, America: The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole’ and has been an outspoken Clinton critic and Trump supporter.

In June this year, following outrage over the family separation policy of the Trump administration in dealing with border jumpers, she said immigrant children were ‘child actors weeping and crying’ and Trump should not ‘fall for it.’

Protesters violently clashed outside venues in Sydney and Melbourne last year during Yiannopoulos’s tour

Yiannopolous gained infamy as a controversial writer for alt-right website Breitbart News.

During his Sydney show last December, Yiannopoulos attracted 100 protesters who chanted ‘F*** off Nazi’ in violent scenes that led to seven arrests.

His Melbourne leg of the tour was even more violent, with police forced to use batons to keep the demonstrators at bay.

Last week it was revealed Yiannopoulos and his promoters are yet to pay a $50,000 bill they were asked to cough up for extra police resources at the Melbourne event. 

‘He hasn’t paid it,’ Victoria Police Minister Lisa Neville told 3AW Radio.

‘He was presented with a bill and he hasn’t yet paid it. I know there is discussions going on at the moment with… our government solicitors.’ 

Hundreds of police were sent in to control up to 500 left-wing and around 50 right-wing activists who clashed outside the Kensington event on Monday night. This left-wing protester was arrested

The promoter of last year’s tour, Damien Costas, previously argued ‘his people’ had nothing to do with the violence and said he would refuse to cover the cost.

‘This is political grandstanding. It’s actually absolute nonsense,’ he told Daily Mail Australia in December.

‘My answer to politicians that like to get political mileage out of something – in this case the Police Minister – my answer to her is quite simple: ‘Sue me’.’ 

Hundreds of police were sent in to control up to 500 left-wing and up to 50 right-wing activists outside the event.

Five officers were pelted with bottles and rocks and two protesters, one from each side, were arrested during the violent scenes.

Yiannopoulos slammed the ‘violent’ left-wing protesters for causing the trouble that required heavy police presence.

‘There was a lot of kerfuffle out front,’ he told Alan Jones on 2GB Radio at the time. 

‘It was not as the newspapers reported ”a clash between the far left and far right” it was the left, showing up, being violent to stop freedom of speech.

‘The left really showed us who they are. They attack the police, they attacked other people, they attacked journalists – they showed us they are petulant babies.’ 

Last year, Yiannopoulos controversially mocked Aboriginal art and the digeridoo.

‘Australians in this bizarre form of middle-class guilt have decided to pay a basics to a culture that failed to invent the wheel and whose signature musical achievement is a big stick,’ he said.

At his shows in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne, he also flashed up the word ‘unf***able’ on big screens next to an image of Australian feminist and writer Clementine Ford.

Twitter went wild with condemnation, particularly as the photo apparently showed Ms Ford when she was about 19-years-old.

Yiannopoulos’ speeches on university campuses in the US have previously sparked violent protests.

He was banned from Twitter in 2016 after being blamed for a barrage of racist abuse directed by his fans toward Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones.

He has previously likened feminism to cancer, Islam to AIDS and has spoken out against gay rights and the Black Lives Matter movement – despite being openly homosexual and married to an African American man.

Yiannopoulos lost a book deal after a video emerged in February 2016 in which he said some relationships between older men and teenage boys could be beneficial.
