Snoop Dogg Is No Longer Banned From Australia

by THEPREMIER

SATURDAY AUGUST 23, 2008

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."

Yo check out the movie "The Proposition". The setting is 1870's Australia, which is the time period that you guys are talking about, when England was shipping their unwanted to Australia. It also shows what a shithole Australia was then. PEACE Come check out The Livin' Large Show w/ Bobby Livin', and Tony Large Fridays 11am-1pm EST at www.clubmegamix.com. You'll like it. Listening to "By The Way", and the rest of "The Recession" album by Young Jeezy

I gotta give it up to Snoop. That nigga is the second coolest person on the planet. Nigga don't even have to speak on situations and they get handled and taken care of just because someone wants to see him perform. Could you imagine a feeling like that, like if it was you. Thats some cool ass shit to think about. Not being snoop but on a level of that importance.....
