Rapper 50 Cent has not applied for a visa

Letter to the Editor - Melbourne Herald Sun
21 October 2003

Dear Sir/Madam

Andrew Bolt's column (Sold out for 50 Cent - October 16, 2003) is based on a fundamental error of fact. As of today, the department has not received an application from Mr. Curtis Jackson, aka rapper 50 Cent for a visa to visit Australia.

Should Mr. Jackson apply for a visa, his application will be subject to the same rigorous criteria that are used for all such applications.

Yours sincerely,

Stewart Foster
