Candace Owens, a prominent far-right commentator, has claimed a financial loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars due to the cancellation of her planned Australian tour. Initially set for November 2024, Owens' visa was denied after the Australian government determined she had the 'capacity to incite discord.' Attempts to reapply for a visa in March 2025 were also unsuccessful, with the High Court upholding the rejection in October 2025. As a result, ticket holders, approximately 15,000 in total, are unlikely to receive refunds after the tour promoter, Rocksman, declared bankruptcy with only 21 cents remaining in its bank account. Liquidator David Sampson confirmed that Rocksman had no insurance to cover the event's cancellation and had already spent the ticket sales revenue. Owens' team faced substantial legal costs, reportedly amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, as they were misled by the promoter regarding the visa challenge. The financial woes extend to sponsors, with As Good As Gold claiming it is owed $80,000. The liquidator is investigating the circumstances surrounding Rocksman's insolvency, which includes debts exceeding $760,000.
