Katie Hopkins, a far-right British commentator, will be deported from Australia after openly breaking hotel quarantine rules.

Ms Hopkins had been allowed into Australia from support of the government that she would bring considerable economic benefit to the country. 

She was going to appear on Channel 7’s reality television program Big Brother VIP, but has since been dropped.

Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews told the ABC that Ms Hopkins’ actions were “shameful” and “appalling”.
