Fed: Irving blames Australian Jewish Congress for visa ban

Disgraced British historian DAVID IRVING has accused the Australian Jewish Congress
of paying governments to keep him out of Australia.

Mr IRVING has told Foxtel's Laws program from the United Kingdom that the jewish congress
is using money as a weapon to keep him out of this country.

He says the Australian Jewish Congress has been paying money to the JOHN HOWARD government
and the Labor Party.

The controversial Second World War historian and HITLER biographer has been refused
visa to visit Australia four times on the grounds of his character.

He was last week branded a racist, anti-Semite and a Holocaust-denier by a British High Court.
