Foreign Interference? Outrage as Israel and Its Lobbyists Attempt to Cancel Free Speech Summit in Australia

Accusations of direct foreign interference are erupting across Australian independent media and public forums after it was revealed that Israel and associated lobbyists were behind a coordinated campaign to pressure The Star Casino Gold Coast into cancelling the upcoming Free Speech Summit and Independent Media Awards, scheduled for July 19th and 20th. The high-profile summit — hosted by Australian National Review ( and supported by — was set to feature over 20 international speakers, including journalists, whistleblowers, doctors, activists, and political commentators. Thousands of attendees have already registered, with many flying in from interstate and abroad, and a global livestream audience expected to reach into the millions. But in a stunning development, organisers have revealed that relentless pressure from Israeli-aligned interests, including waves of harassing emails directed at speakers, led to the last-minute cancellation of the venue by The Star Casino — a publicly listed company whose major shareholder, Vanguard, has strong ties to Israeli financial networks. 'This isn't just censorship — this is direct foreign interference on Australian soil,' said Jamie McIntyre, founder of Australian National Review and host of the summit. 'No other country has tried to shut down this event. Only Israel, and its aggressive lobbying apparatus, is working overtime to silence free speech in Australia.' Speakers say they have been bombarded with pressure from unknown and known sources, demanding they withdraw from the event — using fear tactics, veiled threats, and moral condemnation under the pretext of 'preventing hate speech.' However, many argue that the real reason for the interference is the event's planned discussions around media manipulation, foreign influence, censorship, and Israel's role in global geopolitics. 'The idea that a foreign nation is telling Australians who we can or cannot hear from, and demanding an Australian venue cancel an event or face consequences, should deeply disturb every citizen,' said one international speaker, who asked to remain anonymous due to the volume of harassment received. Organisers have now relocated the event to a secure, undisclosed location on the Gold Coast to protect the integrity of the summit and ensure speakers and attendees are not further targeted. 'This will not silence us,' McIntyre said. 'In fact, it proves exactly why we need this summit more than ever. If Israel is so threatened by free speech, then that should raise alarm bells about its real agenda. The Australian people have a right to hear these voices. This is our country, not theirs.' Critics are calling on the Australian government to investigate the extent of foreign lobbying influence behind the scenes, and whether the cancellation of the event by a major venue was influenced by external state actors in violation of Australian sovereignty and democratic principles. What's at stake is more than just one summit. It's the question of whether Australians are still free to speak — or whether powerful foreign entities can dictate what we're allowed to say, hear, or believe. The Free Speech Summit and the Independent Media Awards will still go ahead as scheduled, with thousands expected to attend in person and virtually. The exact location will be revealed privately to ticket holders and media partners for security reasons.

Will the Australian Government Ban International Speakers from

As the Free Speech Summit approaches on July 19th–20th at the Star Theatre, Gold Coast, questions are once again swirling about whether the Australian government will attempt to block international speakers from entering the country—just as they controversially did last year with conservative commentator Candace Owens. Hosted by the Australian National Review ( the is set to become one of the most important gatherings for independent media, political dissidents, and truth-seekers in Australia's history. With over 22 high-profile speakers flying in from around the world—including doctors, journalists, influencers, and whistleblowers—the stakes are high. And so is the scrutiny. A Pattern of Silencing Dissent? Last year, Candace Owens was denied entry to Australia due to her political views and controversial opinions, sparking widespread criticism from free speech advocates and civil liberties organizations. The Australian government cited 'potential social unrest' as justification—an eerily familiar tactic used by authoritarian regimes to block dissent. Now, similar concerns have been raised that the same strategy could be used to interfere with the Free Speech Summit, which features guests known for their unapologetic stances on censorship, COVID-19 narratives, globalism, and government overreach. What Are They So Afraid Of? Speakers scheduled to appear include Stew Peters, Steve Kirsch, Max Igan, Aussie Cossack, Dr. Ben Tapper, and Jamie McIntyre, founder of and outspoken critic of globalist agendas. Their topics range from vaccine injuries to government censorship and the manipulation of mainstream media. Given the history of politically motivated visa cancellations and bureaucratic interference, the possibility of governmental obstruction looms large. After all, allowing such speakers into the country runs counter to the carefully curated mainstream narrative. Why You Must Attend or Tune In Despite potential hurdles, the Free Speech Summit is going ahead—and growing in strength. Thanks to generous sponsors, over 10,000 global livestream tickets are now being given away for FREE, courtesy of Additionally, 1,000 in-person tickets have been donated by the major sponsor for the event and a leader in offshore real estate development for those seeking freedom and prosperity outside the West. Whether you're attending in person on the Gold Coast or tuning in online from anywhere in the world, this is not just another conference. It's a stand against censorship, a rally for liberty, and a beacon for those who refuse to be silenced. But if the government were to block international guests, it would only reinforce the event's central message: free speech is under siege in Australia.
