The DIAC said: "In making this decision, the department weighed his criminal convictions against his previous behaviour while in Australia, recent conduct&nbsp;– including charity work&nbsp;– and any likely risk to the Australian community … We took into account all relevant factors and, on balance, the department decided to grant the visa".<ref>{{cite web|title=Snoop Dogg Secures Visa For Australia Tour Dates|url=https://www.xxlmag.com/xxl-magazine/2008/09/snoop-dogg-secures-visa-for-australia-tour-dates/|date=September 12, 2008|website=XXL Mag|language=en|access-date=May 16, 2020|archive-date=February 15, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220215002520/https://www.xxlmag.com/snoop-dogg-secures-visa-for-australia-tour-dates/|url-status=live}}</ref>
