Citing the report from BBC.com, it was learned that Mr. Brown’s plea comes days after he was issued with a formal notice from the Australian government indicating their refusal to grant him a visa because of his domestic abuse record.
American R&B singer Chris Brown has said he will raise awareness of domestic violence if he is granted a visa to tour Australia, after authorities indicated he could be banned from entering the country.
Tuesday, the 26-year-old expressed that he would be open to raising awareness surrounding domestic violence in Australia.
Given the domestic violence rates in this country – particularly involving Maori – I thought she’d be the last person to support a violent man coming here especially when he’s just a singer. “I’m not the pink elephant in the room anymore”, he wrote.
‘My life mistakes should be a wake up call for everyone, ‘ he added. Showing the world that mistakes don’t define you. Activist group GetUp! has also questioned whether Brown’s tour should go ahead, saying it would send the wrong message about violence against women. Trying to prevent spousal abuse.
He ended with a point about the influence of pop culture icons, writing, “The youth don’t listen to parents nor do they listen to PSA’s”.

“As an organisation with a small staff base we are not always going to get it right and we have to be open to changing our approach and acknowledging where we got things wrong”, he said.
