No refunds for 15,000 Australian ticket holders after Candace Owens’ tour cancelled
Rightwing commentator says she is hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket and claims she was misled by promoter Rocksman
TL;DR
- 15,000 ticket holders for Candace Owens' cancelled Australian tour are unlikely to receive refunds as the promoter, Rocksman, has collapsed with minimal funds.
- Candace Owens claims she is hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket and was misled by Rocksman, a company linked to Turning Point Australia.
- Rocksman's liquidator reported that refunds are impossible due to a lack of insurance and the company having spent all its money, with debts exceeding $760,000.
- The tour was organized by individuals previously involved in rightwing speaking tours, including George Zacharia (Rocksman's director), Damien Costas, and Joel Jammal (head of Turning Point Australia).
- Investigations are ongoing into potential voidable transactions and breaches of the Corporations Act by Rocksman.
