'I'm very pleased she'll be leaving': Australian government cancels Katie Hopkins' visa

[canetoad]

The federal government has cancelled the visa of far-right British commentator Katie Hopkins. Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews says Ms Hopkins will be kicked out of the country as soon as possible.

Ms Hopkins was dumped from an upcoming series of Channel Seven’s Big Brother on Sunday, a day after boasting about flouting infection controls while in hotel quarantine in Sydney. The provocative post came as 12 million Australians were locked down in NSW and Victoria.

“It is despicable that anyone would behave in such a way that puts our health officials and community at risk,” Ms Andrews said in a statement.

“There is no place in Australia for visa holders who would deliberately endanger others. Entry to Australia brings responsibilities and the community rightly expects better. Those who don’t live up to the standards can expect to have their visas cancelled and to be removed.”

I despise this woman.

1. What a slap in the face, for a whole Country to kick someone out. Good for Australia! She mocked

their efforts, thinking that she's immune to pressure etc. because of her mouth. What a terrible person. I'll bet that she will gripe and
moan, cry a river, etc. seeking some sort of solace among others, but instead, I think she's going to be mocked everywhere she goes, deserving so.

2. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

She sounds like a real piece of work.

Glad they are giving her the boot!

Guessing she is an anti-vaxer, so she just might have fun with delta in the UK.

3. This Would NEVER Happen Here

Perhaps Australia is not such a bad place to move to.

5. I knew an Orange County realtor who was EXACTLY like Katie Hopkins (though far less successful)

An absolute bigot - and very adamant and combative about it. Saw multi-culturalism as the existential threat to humanity (white humanity, at least).

She was a lousy realtor who kept getting dismissed by her clients, and bouncing from realty to realty - but eventually married a very nice Japanese-American man. Go figure.

10. People can hold racist beliefs while dating or marrying a person of that race

there was an unmasked racist Karen type spewing N-words at workers at a NY bagel shop and people had to point out to her that her kids were mixed race and news tracked down her baby-daddy and he was an immigrant.

6. She is an awful person.

I saw her on a British talk show arguing that naming a child after a geographical place was low class.

She said this even though she named her own daughter India.

It was wonderful when she was banned from Twitter.

Apparently Australians were very unhappy with her.

8. Australians are sending the criminals back...

to England now. Nice going. Hopkins is one vile woman. Maybe England won't take her back. Make her float around the North Sea is in an inflatable dinghy.

15. Why Do You Hate Inflatable Dinghies?

Your suggestion is just cruel to dinghies!!!

[RussellCattle]

19. Perhaps an older dingy. Worn out. With a slow leak. It could perform one last heroic deed.....

.....for all of us.

[COL Mustard]

21. Okay, I Can Go With That!

9. Gee, it seems like other countries don't screw around with this type of right wing scum.

What the hell is the problem with this country?

[FakeNoose]

11. I know - we need to grow a pair

... as the saying goes.

[Ford_Prefect]

12. She is literally the spawn of Rupert Murdoch's war on reality.

I hear there is a plan to send people to Mars at the earliest possible moment. I have a candidate in mind. Tomorrow afternoon would not be soon enough.

Rupert deserves to lose his citizenship on planet earth.

13. Gosh! She could catch COVID! Let's hope she's drinking lots of bleach!

[COL Mustard]

14. I Read The Wikipedia Article On Her

Good lord, what a twat.

[Hulk]

16. Wish we could do the same with our trash....

...except, unfortunately, they are citizens.

[MrModerate]

17. Is this the 'Big Brother' that Caitlin Jenner is supposedly in Australia to film, while...

Also running for Governor of California?

[IcyPeas]

22. Only the best people on Australian Big Brother apparently

Imagine Katie having to live with Caitlyn. Oh my.

18. In Singapore publicly they'd cane you for less

Just saying

20. Ew! She opened the door without a mask -- and naked!
