This is the second time a scheduled appearance for Cousins has been cancelled in recent days. Community outrage led to the decision to cancel. The hotel reversed the booking. The latest scrapping follows a previous cancellation earlier in the week. Cousins was planned to talk at the venue. Organisers said they acknowledged the anger from the community.
