Djokovic

Agreed, the oul lad is arguably the worst.

"on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so"....what does this even mean?

The guy came and played last year without being vaccinated. Why can't he do the same this year? He's not a danger to people's health, Covid is spreading fast in most of Australia. If he got sick I'm sure he'd leave and be taken care of by his own medical team elsewhere so he's not going to be a burden on the taxpayer. Unvaccinated and vaccinated people are spreading this disease.

Yes his family are Ghastly 😁

Fair dues to Minister Hawke.

There may have been confusion at shop floor level over this vaccine status mess and the immigration consequences, but at the end of the day the integrity of the immigration process has been upheld.

The message has gone out to Australians and to anyone who might seek to travel to Australia, that there are no exceptions to the requirements to enter the Country. Not for celebrities, not for sportsmen, not for big business.

If you lie on your immigration forms, whether deliberate or accidental, you're getting booted out and you're staying out for three years.

Looking forward to the tennis itself starting now, the mens tournament will be wide open.

I suppose Serbia will have some joy, I presume the player Novak was to play in first match will get a walk over so to speak 😁

Nothing but politics here. Very disingenuous.

One of the greatest sports athletes ever trying to make history. Be gone home in three weeks, and will infect absolutely nobody.

The absolute pettiness and deviousness of the Aussies here..

If my mother has to be doubly vaccinated to get a visa to enter the Australia from Ireland then Mr. Tennis Player should be bound by the same criteria. The vast majority of the public are supportive of the (correct) decision.

He lied on the form they have every right to refuse him entry. If the Australian authorities hadn't made such a hash initially he would have been out already.

He has shown himself up multiple times.

- Knowingly mixing with people when he knew he was covid positive. He didn't notify anyone after.

- Lying on his entry form. He had traveled to other countries before entry

you can even go back to his super spreader tennis tournament.

His family have done him absolutely no favours either with their bizarre rants. But hey he has Farage on his side...

Yes, rules should not apply to the greatest sports athletes.

Mad how the usual suspects who are normally baying for harshly enforced entry requirements and border controls are suddenly champions of free and open borders.

Nigel Farage championing Djokovic's case says it all really.

Whatever about vaccines or dodgy Covid certs, once he lied on the immigration form, he was done.

That's about it really

New balls please.

No they haven't made an example of him, people lie on their immigration forms, they get the boot. This happens all the time. What they didn't do is treat him differently from all the plebs.

No harm? All those people getting hospitalised with the omicron must be exaggerating so🙄
