Australia Investigates Katie Hopkins After Breaching Quarantine Video

The Australian government has ordered an immigration investigation into controversial British commentator Katie Hopkins after she was quoted boasting about breaching the country's hotel quarantine rules on social media.

Hopkins flew into Sydney to appear on Seven Network Ltd (SWM.AX) reality television programme Big Brother VIP, according to Australian media, then posted a video on Instagram joking about answering the door naked and without a mask to people delivering meals while she was in hotel quarantine.

Under the rules of Australia's mandatory two-week hotel quarantine for international arrivals to stop the spread of COVID-19, people must put on a mask before meals are delivered then wait 30 seconds to collect the food to avoid transmission.

The video was later removed from the image-sharing platform, but Australian lawmakers said they were investigating whether Hopkins's visa should remain valid.

Hopkins previously courted controversy for inflammatory anti-immigrant commentary, even earning criticism from the United Nations human rights chief, before leaving several British media outlets in 2017 amid public backlash.

Public health threat, Take her visa away. 

Glad she got removed from big brother but sad to see people are still giving her platforms to spew hate from.

Is this not indecent exposure at the minimum?

If there was a Karening event at the Olympics, she'd be hard to beat.
