It couldn't happen to a nicer person...

Controversial British commentator Katie Hopkins will be deported from Australia for bragging about flouting hotel quarantine rules, says the government.

Ms Hopkins - who has often drawn anger for racist remarks - had entered the country to star in TV show Big Brother Australia.

On Friday she posted a video from her Sydney hotel room where she joked about putting frontline staff at risk.

Her comments sparked widespread condemnation.

In the video, Ms Hopkins said she planned to "lie in wait" for workers to deliver food to her room so she could open the door "naked with no face mask".

She also called lockdowns the "greatest hoax in human history". Australia's two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, are both in lockdown.

The post has since been wiped from her Instagram.

On Monday, the Australian government confirmed her visa had been cancelled, after she was also sacked from the reality show...

No, seriously. It couldn't happen to a nicer person, simply because a nicer person wouldn't be that fucking stupid.

I still maintain my stance that she is seriously mentally ill and these repeated media engagements are like some Victorian freak show rather than allowing her to seek the treatment she desperately needs.

Her career path is a warning to any wannabe talking head. Build a career on outrage, and you'll be forced to one-up yourself to keep in the limelight. Eventually you'll go beyond the pale and you'll realise how little you ever meant. With her, it was when she started costing her employers money. As ever, there is one line even the most rabid outlet won't cross - the bottom line.

A nice summary of Hatey's embrace of the far right.

Too right-wing for Australia.

Another way of saying "You've run out of tarmac".

I see her as "Shut the fuck up".

Katie’s back on Twitter concocting new depths of vileness for attention. Laughing at someone’s dead husband

Sigh. It was so lovely when she was banned and you could basically forget she existed.

[Tubby Isaacs]

That's literally incredible.

[The Weeping Angel]

Likewise.
