The Katie Hopkins Saga Tells Us A Lot About Racism In Australia

This week we talk about the Katie Hopkins saga that took over our newscycle as we watched her go from entering the country as a celebrity VIP for Big Brother, to being deported over contempt for quarantine. 

We discuss what her entry into Australia says about our borders, the state of racist Australian reality TV, and the disturbing precedents that “bad character” deportations can set.
