A new low. British far-right commentator Katie Hopkins - banned from Twitter for hateful conduct - has made it to Sydney. Meanwhile, thousands of Australian families are separated from their loved ones overseas.

Just caught up on the news that Caitlyn Jenner & Katie Hopkins are allowed into Australia for Celebrity Big Brother, when tens of thousands of Australians overseas can’t get back home. I cannot. With the Australian arts sector decimated, why not cast some Australian celebs in BB?

Watching Morrison Gov allow Katie Hopkins in to Australia ahead of stranded Australian citizens overseas beggars belief. A person who called migrants “cockroaches”, called for “final solution” described Islam as “disgusting.” How did she pass the character test @ScottMorrisonMP?

My media release on the appalling decisions of the Morrison government to let right-wing troll Katie Hopkins into the country. This should never have happened, and now her behaviour is putting people at risk. Mr Morrison must take responsibility - and fix this now. https://t.co/jp6Um2NviE
