Alun from Sydney tweeted: This is a kick in the face to all Aussies abroad who cant get home.
The right wing commentators arrival comes as American celebrity Caitlyn Jenner also landed in Sydney this week to appear on Channel 7s upcoming series of Big Brother, according to celebrity news website TMZ.

The arrival of the two celebrities into the country comes as at least 30,000 Australians remain stranded overseas and passenger caps for those returning have been halved to about 3000 a week.
A Channel 7 spokeswoman would not confirm whether Hopkins and Jenner were brought to Australia for the show when contacted by The Age and Sydney Morning Herald.
Previous hotel quarantine leaks in Australia have been blamed on contagious hotel guests spreading COVID-19 into hallways and infecting staff.
The staggered timing of food deliveries is an attempt to mitigate that risk.
Ms Hopkins said in an earlier video still posted on her account that she believed lockdowns were the biggest hoax of all time.
Before you ask how have I managed to get here, you will know that I have always called lockdown the greatest hoax in human history I have never subscribed to it, she said in the video, posted on Friday from her Sydney hotel room.
So in terms of hypocrisy I see that with politicians who are locking people down, but Ive never been an advocate for that.
She then goes on to tell her followers how more than 12 million Australians are locked down in Melbourne and Sydney because political leaders have been able to twist the COVID conversation to be about cases, as opposed to deaths or hospitalisations.
There are only three cases in Melbourne, and yet Melbourne has gone into the harshest of lockdowns, she said.
Its hard to observe much when youre in isolation or quarantine but what I can observe is a country that is deeply unhappy, and has been deeply disrupted by [just a few] cases of COVID.
There are now 43 local cases in Victoria with no hospitalisations or deaths.
In Sydney there are 1039 active cases. There are 75 in hospital, including 21 intensive care. Three people have died.
Ms Hopkins has been contacted for a response.
