The last of 11 venues booked for a speaking tour by US-based anti-vaccination activist Sherri Tenpenny in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide have withdrawn from the contracts. A boycott threat made by those opposed to the events has had the desired effect, while tour organiser Stephanie Messenger has accused the groups of "bullying". Federal Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has not responded to a call by Stop the Australian (Anti) Vaccination Network spokesperson John Cunningham to cancel Tenpenny’s visa

Stephanie Messenger, an anti-vaccination activist, has criticised venue operators who have opted to cancel the bookings made for a lecture tour in Australia of US-based osteopath Sherri Tenpenny. Among the businesses accused of bowing to the alleged "bullying" of medical practitioners and pro-vaccination groups are the Amora Hotel Riverwalk and Bayview Eden in Melbourne, Concord Function Centre in Narooma and Kareela Golf & Social Club in Sydney
