Djokovic

Thats got to be on the upper end of travel declaration offences. Its 1 thing forgetting you packed some snacks in your luggage and then find out you arent allowed to bring them into Australia. You pay your fine.

But "forgetting" you travelled to Spain? Oh dear. I wonder what the top punishment is for blatant lying on a travel declaration. By that I obviously dont mean what will happen to Djokovic. I mean would a non-celeb nobody get jailed for that? Im sure its happened. I can't see how they can let him stay if its investigated and found that he travelled and lied about it on his declaration. Surely there'd be a massive backlash.

Hope he gets thrown out for 3 years.

He is playing with the system to make his situation fit when it clearly doesn't.

-Medical situation too late for exemption.

-Question mark over his declared travel.

-Not observing covid restrictions when positive.

Tennis Australia are probably as much at fault here as anyone but that doesn't mean government have to soften their stance.

Minister should have him questioned further.

If his covid cert was scanning as negative, surely that would give the Australian government authority to question his certification without causing a diplomatic incident.

I saw some of them saying travel within Europe doesn't count as travel....talk about clutching at straws...

The first point I assume is to do with if he should be isolating while awaiting results of a PCR test. Your opinion is clearly that he should. Mine is that it is dependant on the reason for the test.

The second point is I'm not sure what. I asked who here thought it was fine that he was hugging kids while positive. The only thing you can find is a post from yourself on another thread?

Those Australians who are annoyed, are rightly annoyed, but it is more to do with peoe escaping restrictions rather than anything medical or scientific. Djokovic can't spread omnicron. They are annoyed because of some sort of spirit of the law argument that has nothing to do with science. It would also be interesting to find out how many Australians are truly annoyed with him, rather than journalists putting words in our mouths.

Sorry, I clearly misunderstood your post.

I thought your were disagreeing with my post that you quoted. Apologies

He was posing for photos with dozens of children 24 hours after testing positive for a contagious illness...

Border force now investigating declaration re travel prior to arrival in Australia, not entirely sure if Novak filled in the declaration or an agent but seemingly, Spain was mentioned but not Serbia prior to arrival in Australia.

Maybe read my correction before jumping down my throat....christ.

Others have done the same who didn't want to get vaccinated.
