Anyone know what is his medical exception?
Why do you think sports stars deserve special treatment from the State?
This site is full of nasty boys and mean girls.
Nah! It's nothing to do with "protecting the integrity around their visa process."
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has weighed in on the latest turn of events, saying that he had made "note" of Immigration Minister Alex Hawke's decision.
"I understand that following careful consideration, action has been taken to cancel Djokovic's visa on health and good order grounds," he said.
"Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the results of those sacrifices to be protected. That is what the minister is doing in taking this action today."

This is the real reason. If the Australian public was on Djokovic's side, then the politicians wouldn't give a 💩. The public don't like the perceived preferential treatment for one person based on his status, while they've had to suffer probably excessive restrictions.
+1. he has brought this upon himself and no ones fault but his own. It’s his arrogance that has led him to this point
No rules or red tape in Ireland, thank goodness!
Still puzzled why a grant of probate took over 2 years to sort and €5K and why my son's foreign birth registration took 23 months to process, or why I can't remove any weeds, or prune any shrubs, at my holiday home.
Think I'll add an 80m square extension to the house - all I need to do is ring a builder, show them the plan and tell them to get started, right?
Why would a Marvel superhero get involved in this mess? 😉
While Morrison's government has won support at home for its tough stance on border security during the pandemic, it has not escaped criticism for the seemingly inconsistent handling of Djokovic's visa application
"Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the result of those sacrifices to be protected," Morrison said in a statement.
"This is what the minister is doing in taking this action today. Our strong border protection policies have kept Australians safe," he said, adding he would be making no further comment in view of expected legal proceedings.
Morrison makes a statement on it
Just wondering how deporting Djokovic now "protects sacrifices" exactly?
Makes no sense.
In the real world with Omicron raging in Australia (and spreading across boosted, vaccinated and anyone) and Djokovic with recent immunity I don't see how anything is protected here.
Anyone with a brain can see that it's just a pandering political reasoning designed to appease the electorate for police state pandemic decisions that this very same government took...
"protecting sacrifices" my hole!
Hahahahahahah
All you're doing is saying the same as I'm saying in a different way. The decision was made as you said to stop anyone getting the idea that someone else got preferential treatment. Djokovic had an easier route into Australia than most Australians have had in the last couple of years. It really wouldn't be a good look for the government to allow him to stay.
you are one of the nasties that Man V manURE was talking about have a nice day we are not all sports fanatics.
I didn't say Ireland doesn't love red tape as well.
Let us know how you get on with the extension.
Why are you defending somebody who broke the law?
Have you ever travelled to Australia? They are incredibly strict on immigration. I was ages going through immigration there as they were checking so much stuff.
The timetable according to The Guardian is:
So going to run on a bit yet.
yet more irrelevant whatabottery
have you actually made one good point in 56 pages of this thread? - no I would argue
just replying to posts but not actually addressing anything in the previous post,
or just seeking to be inflammatory for the sake of it
or posting bullshit like the Der Spiegel date and time rubbish
archetypal shitposter
The comparing the visa checks on the general public (who are complete nobodies and strangers) to this visa issue for a world known tennis star who has been to the country many times, won many titles, won many fans, and who is not a possible sponger, criminal, terrorist…is absolutely ridiculous. The Australians have zero to fear by allowing him stay and play for two weeks.
this decision has eff all to do with visa integrity. As if him staying for two weeks after all the arguing is somehow going to affect or damage the visa process in Australia. Utter nonsense.
he went through the process and after all this, they want to them kick him out due to an omission issue on a form. Absurd behavior.
I'm just intrigued to see why you are saying that Djokovic should be allowed to stay in the country despite breaking their immigration law by filling out immigration documentation incorrectly?
Also, no need for the personal attacks. It comes across a bit.... frenzied.
Indeed. I don’t know Australian immigration law, but how it works here with a Judicial Review is that the High Court can strike down an immigration decision for a flaw in the procedures applied. Which seems to be what happened here. What they cannot do is grant someone an immigration permission. That is purely a matter for the Government/Minister. A decision that has been quashed by the Court must be made again.
frenzied - very poor projection effort!
merely pointing out your awful posting quality - that's not frenzied - that's just showing what you've done
you compared Djokovic to rapists in the most pathetic troll post in this long thread (and that's saying something)
you posted nonsense. pure nonsense.
he broke australian immigration law. being well known doesn't make him immune to consequences.
If you think that was the comparison I was making, you completely missed the point. It's about sports fans becoming illogical/ excessively emotively attached to sports stars to the point where they believe they can do no wrong. Might be eye-opening for you to watch. It's on netflix.
Djokovic's only hope here is an injunction that also keeps him out of detention
An injunction that delays the deportation until after the Australian Open
The 133c law has very sweeping powers so decisions under it can't really be overturned
I actually laugh out loud when I'm reading your posts. As if the Australian government should consider a foreign tennis star any less of a "nobody" or a "stranger" than anyone else. You are seriously embarrassing yourself, count your lucky blessings this is an anonymous forum.
Try getting into Australia while trying to dodge their immigration rules. Let us know how you get on.
Being a celeb shouldn't carry an advantage.
Nigel Farage criticising Australias immigration rules is just poetic justice.
Tbh apologies,I thought you were being sarcastic and didn't read it like a question. Sorry.
You have clearly never seen a single sport ever
worth reminding people again
Might need to rethink his process if it includes lying on his immigration documents. I think the majority agree he shafted himself.
Also, maybe he could have taken the vaccine like 97 of the other ATP top 100. Just a thought. Saved me having to interact with some unpleasant individuals on this thread.
