‘You can’t come in’: Aussie officials want to REJECT Chris Brown’s visa

Chris Brown is already under fire from Australian immigration for his history of violence, and he hasn't even landed in the country yet.

The singer has four shows scheduled across Sydney, Perth and Melbourne for December, but officials say it's likely he'll be denied a visa.

Chris pleaded guilty in 2009 to a case of domestic violence against his then-girlfriend Rihanna, ending up in jail in 2014 after violating his five-year probation.

Since then the singer has had difficulty entering a number of countries, among them the UK in 2010 and Canada earlier this year.

Although Chris' request for an Australian visa has yet to be officially shot down, the country's immigration minister is said to be looking at his case "very, very seriously."

Speaking to reporters this week. Australia's Minister for Women Michaelia Cash said his behaviour simply wasn't acceptable.

"[I]f you are going to commit domestic violence and then you want to travel around the world, there are going to be countries that say to you, 'You cannot come in because you are not of the character that we expect in Australia.'"

Meanwhile, Aussie residents have been expressing their anger in a different way – by vandalising the promotional posters for Chris's concerts:
