• For those Jewish scholars and experts from abroad, often invited by the local community in Australia to visit and share their views and expertise, there is news: you might not be permitted to enter Australia. Your visa, even if approved at some earlier stage, could be revoked and you might be silenced.

• If, however, you are a dedicated Palestinian from Gaza, you are most likely welcome in Australia -- little vetting required.

Burke gave as his reason for revoking Fuld's visa a false accusation of "'islamophobia rhetoric' which risked inciting discord against Australia's Muslim population."
