Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews says Katie Hopkins will be leaving Australia as soon as the government can possibly arrange it. “I’m hopeful that it will happen imminently.”
The federal government has cancelled the visa of far-right British commentator Katie Hopkins.
Ms Hopkins has previously called for a “final solution” and labelled migrants “cockroaches”. Asked why she was given a visa in the first place over an Australian trying to return home, Ms Andrews said the far-right commentator was allowed in under “established processes and procedures” given she was due to film a TV show.
“What I want is the sergeant in the foyer to come up and tell me off so that I can stand there naked while he tells me off,” she said. Ms Hopkins hosted a national talkback show on British radio station LBC but left in 2017 after posting on Twitter there should be a “final solution” in the aftermath of the Manchester terrorist attack.
