Move to bar R Kelly

NEW YORK: R Kelly is planning an international tour, but an Australian MP wants the country to bar him from performing there.

The embattled musician announced on social media that he would be going to Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. His career has been stifled since a #MuteRKelly campaign last year to protest against his alleged sexual abuse of women and girls, which he denies. Australia has denied entry to other foreigners on character grounds, including classified document leaker Chelsea Manning.
