The founder of a group that advocates for "legal rape" has taunted Australian authorities, saying the country's borders are weak.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton is seeking an urgent briefing on legal options to deny an entry visa to the founder of a radical anti-women group that believes rape should be legal on private property.
"Their borders are weak. I'll get in," tweeted Return of Kings leader Daryush "Roosh" Valizadeh on Tuesday morning.
Followers are set to gather for a "tribal meeting" in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth on Saturday, with similar gatherings in 43 other countries.
Women, transgender men and homosexual men are banned from the meeting of "neomasculinist" supporters, who have been urged to travel in pairs or groups using indirect routes to avoid "green-haired female activists or male feminists" following them.
Mr Dutton is considering stopping his entry into Australia.
"Like all Australians I am offended by the reports that I've seen," he told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday.
"Once I've got all that information I can make a decision about whether or not a visa can be cancelled."
But Mr Valizadeh has threatened to "sneak into" the country by private boat to Darwin from Indonesia or East Timor.
"I'll find a way to enter. I won't be stopped," he tweeted.
The opposition and Greens are up in arms over Mr Valizadeh's Australian visit.
"It is disgusting ... those views and that type of campaigning and organisation has no place in Australia," Opposition Senate leader Penny Wong said.
