Peter Dutton says people who disrespect women are not welcome Petition against "tribal meetings" gains more than 50,000 signatures

But Mr Dutton has not ruled out stopping his entry into the country, stating he would continue to monitor the case.

Daryush Valizadeh, also known as Roosh V, is the creator of Return of Kings (ROK), a group organising "tribal meetings" for this Saturday in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.

According to the ROK website, the US-based group believes "a woman's value significantly depends on her fertility and beauty", and that rape should be legalised on private property.

An Immigration Department spokeswoman said no-one named Daryush Valizadeh had applied for a visa to visit Australia.

Earlier today Mr Dutton ordered an urgent briefing on the matter, saying a visa cancellation was possible.

"Australia doesn't welcome people to our country who disrespect women," Mr Dutton said.

"The department in the past has made decisions to cancel visas of people that advocate violence, particularly against women."

Earlier this month Mr Dutton cancelled the visa of controversial "pick-up artist" Jeff Allen.

Mr Valizadeh, 36 and from Washington DC, confirmed to the ABC his intention to travel to Australia for a Canberra meeting stating: "I don't have time to talk. I'm busy getting ready for my last-minute trip to Australia. I want to personally conduct a meet-up in Canberra."

He claimed on Twitter if he faced any entry dramas he would: "… just take a private boat to Darwin from Indonesia or East Timor. I'll find a way to enter. I won't be stopped."

In a statement, Greens senator Larissa Waters said there was no place for "violent, archaic and disturbing views" about women.

"Any men who are thinking about attending these disturbing events should be aware that not only is their behaviour completely out of touch with the majority of Australians, but that it is a criminal offence to incite violence," she said.

Western Australia Premier Colin Barnett described the group's views as "despicable", but said there was little the state could do to stop it meeting in Perth.

"I think people like this are not welcome in Australia, but if they do not actually break a law they will probably be able to travel around," he said.

"But they are certainly not welcome in this state and we will do all we can to prevent them having these sorts of activities."

Petition gains 60,000 supporters

A change.org petition asking police to stop the "tribal meetings" planned for Australia has gained more than 60,000 signatures in less than 24 hours.

University student Blair Williams, who is undertaking a PhD in politics and gender, began the petition yesterday.

She said she was a "passionate feminist" and against the beliefs held by ROK.

"I believe what Roosh V, the person these men support, and the Return to Kings website, is absolutely abhorrent," Ms Williams told the ABC.

"He thinks rape should be legalised … people supporting that message and sharing those values, which are illegal, I don't think they should be meeting considering we already have a problem with violence against women."

Her petition, Stop Supporters of 'Legal Rape' Roosh V Advocates Meeting in Sydney, includes a letter to New South Wales Police.

"What these men are advocating is, and should legally be considered, a hate-crime," it reads.

"Not only should the police stop this event from occurring — they also need to inspect the men attending this event."

Police keeping watch on proposed ROK events

NSW Police told the ABC it was aware of the meetings and would be keeping watch.

"NSW Police are aware of a number of meetings occurring in Sydney Saturday evening (February 6) by a group called 'Return of Kings'," it said in a statement.

"Police will monitor these areas to prevent any breaches of the peace."

Ms Williams said while it may be difficult to stop the events from occurring, she expected police to keep a watchful eye over what unfolds.

"It could be quite difficult because they [ROK supporters] are trying to keep it secret, which is quite cowardly," she said.

Ms Williams said she expected the meetings would involve men "circle-jerking over their beliefs" and men would be taught more about the beliefs of so-called pick-up artists (PUA).

PUA can just refer to techniques involved in attracting sexual partners, but has gained negative connotation in recent times due to those taught by controversial pick-up artists Julien Blanc and Jeff Allen.

Ms Williams said previous gatherings of ROK supporters in other countries like Canada had led to the harassment of women.

Queensland and Victoria police have also been contacted for comment.
