Anyone know what is his medical exception?
Where is he staying between now and the hearing? In detention?
That's how visas for international travel work
There are RULES.
We must ALL follow these RULES.
Novak broke these rules.
He hasn't had his visa cancelled for breaking any laws though....it was cancelled because they think it'll promote ant-vaccination if he stays!!
Also, and potentially more importantly because there was a false declaration on his Travel Declaration and the fact he ignored isolation rules after testing positive last month and then did an interview with a journalist.
But was he not given an exemption, along with some conditions, which was already a special exception made for him, but even then still took the pi$s?
I mean he was being allowed in even without the vaccine just as long as he played ball. And the conditions don't seem to have been that onerous.
Because it would bypass a level of appeal.
It's potentially in Novak's favour, otherwise would prolong things even more if he loses and then appeals to a full bench, Monday is fast approaching!
Glasso you know at this stage Djokovic and his team has fucked up a few times , the Australians more but he really can't have too many complaints if he doesn't get to play. I hope he does because it will be a better a tournament , **** it. But I don't think he's any rights any more with this tournament. Let's see what happens!
Why would the minister's legal team be against a full hearing?
Full hearing 09.30 AEDT Sunday morning which is 22.30 tomorrow night our time.
And the case (preliminary) has started:-
I have been a big fan of Djokovic for years, but I like all tennis players more or less.
I also am against the pressure placed on unvaccinated people in general, and I also have little regard for the Australian authorities since the beginning of covid - particularly in Victoria!
So it's the perfect storm for me.
However I accept Djokovic made too many errors of judgement which don't stand up to scrutiny. I don't expect him to be allowed to play now.
But like I said upthread they should have made it easy for him to get in in the first place and relaxed their harsh, unbearable, failed and unjustifiable rules - for everyone, including people who want to see their dying parents.
Everyone who supported pandemic restrictions seems to feel they have to double-down on the worst myopic bureaucratic regulations separating families from each other.
Maybe if some disobedient tennis player gets a taste of how unfair it is it it'll salve everyone's conscience for making people miss their parent's funerals?
This government (Liberal party) has members in it who are openly anti-vaccination ie George Christensen (who compared vaccine mandates to apartheid but the government gave us all the 'nothing to see here' treatment over that! If that's their reasoning for cancelling Novac's visa then Christensen has to be stood down too.
He didn't follow the rules.
If you don't follow the rules then you must answer for not following the rules.
Maybe Djokovic is just a bit thick that he can't remember where he was a week ago.
having consulted the Migration Act 1958 I would be of the opinion that the Minister's personal power is indeed final and not subject to review.
S474 of the Migration Act 1958 reads:-
Decisions under Act are final
(1) A privative clause decision:
(a) is final and conclusive; and
(b) must not be challenged, appealed against, reviewed, quashed or called in question in any court; and
(c) is not subject to prohibition, mandamus, injunction, declaration or certiorari in any court on any account.
(2) In this section:
"privative clause decision" means a decision of an administrative character made, proposed to be made, or required to be made, as the case may be, under this Act
Such privative clause restrictions have been subject to many challenges in the courts over the years, some successful to a certain degree, and some not so, however I would think he will need to go to the Supreme Court with this one rather than the Federal Circuit and Family Court, but, we will wait and see what happens.
Have heard that a fast track court appearance rather than an interview may be starting at 10.15 AEDT Saturday (which is in about 5 minutes our time) so we may find out more very soon.
Bingo. They're too far gone to be able to turn around now. This thread was full of anti-vax posters defending him...... not because they thought he was right, but because they thought he was getting one over on the pro-vaccine side. Soon as it was announced he was gone, they deserted their ship like the scurrying little rats that they are. Bar a few brave souls, too balls-deep to extricate themselves from the nonsense.
If the decision had gone the other way, and he was allowed play, this thread would be full to the brim of sore winners, jumping up and down and rubbing everyone else's face in it. Because that's what it's all about to them. Not the tennis, not the Ozzies, not the safety of people, hell.... Not even Djokovic. Half the mouth breathers couldn't even spell his name correctly, and the rest would sooner gargle barbed wire than have to interact with a Serbian. It's all about political point scoring, getting one over on the other side.
But, like I said, they're gone. And we're left with the dregs. People who keep posting the same crap repeatedly, even though it doesn't even bear resemblance to an actual sentence.
"if the agent hadn't made that mistake and put in / declared the Serbia to Spain travel it would not have been a "not getting in" aspect to going to Australia"
Still don't know what that's supposed to mean.
I'm not on YouTube or Facebook so no idea what your on about
Do you disagree with the fact that having had covid gives better antibodies than the vaccine ?
Why do the Australian government ask about travel movements for 14 days before entry?
Surely the answer has a bearing on whether one will be allowed enter the country or a bearing on how that person is handled on entering the country such as requiring quarantine etc.
They thought they had a victory against the deep state/freemasons/Jeff Besoz who are trying to enslave us with 5G magnetic vaccines.
They have dug too deep into Novak's bullsht to try turning round now so just have to defend this dung hill for dear life.
bless.. mayb they have nothing better to do 😕
Why do all ye pro-Djokovic give so much of a sh1t?
Genuine question. Have ye been all mad big fans of his for years, or even big fans of tennis? Or are ye just cranky about covid and want to project some moaning through him?
He's a multi-millionaire who thought the rules didn't apply to him and that he was better than all the little people he wanted to sh1t all over by bypassing all the rules and restrictions that they have to follow. Fu^k him. I'm not losing any sleep over him.
Boris Johnson/Djokovic/whoever. Rules are for them as well.
you do realise that that makes absolutely zero sense having had the explanation
repeating for effect!
probably enough now - if you haven't got it by now then....
the logic is staggeringly simple
if the agent hadn't made that mistake and put in / declared the Serbia to Spain travel it would not have been a "not getting in" aspect to going to Australia
there was no deliberate reason to lie on that
if it would have meant him not getting in it would be a reason to lie
Djokovic is not a rabid anti-vaxxer
ever since real actual vaccines came out this year, so it was an actual choice for people around the world he has refused to be drawn on the issue precisely because he didn't want to be a totem pole for the online anti-vaxx loopers
He said this in April 2021
He also organised a vaccine drive a the Serbian open
and has all of 2021 at all ever said what his vaccine intentions were
That is not a rabid anti-vaxxer
he doensn't want to have to get the vaccine himself, that's it
Who said they welcomed him with open arms? Was he invited or did he just show up and shove his nose into something that was none of his business?
Yeah… but it wasn’t a mistake.
repeating this from my post literally 2 post up - it's very straightforward to understand I would have thought.
The grandstanding from people here about this is mind boggling.
Australia knew their stance on the issue and still allowed this situation to develop. We've had over a week of this story and it's reached the only conclusion it was ever likely to reach.
Australia has created a situation where punitive measures are the norm in relation to Covid. This is not a good development, but people here are congratulating them for it.
I wonder how happy posters here would be to be in a northern territory covid camp for a fortnight because they were a close contact.
Australia was out to prove a point with this Djokovic situation. They should have just told him he wasn't welcome to begin with.
As much as Djokovic might look bad coming out of this situation Australia looks just as bad to any reasonable person.
It wasn’t a mistake.
Surely you can’t be that naive.
Ah that's good, I genuinely wouldn't have thought embarrassment was something you were capable of, based on your posts here.
You're defending a rabid anti vaxxer who, knowing he was Covid positive, just went about his business regardless, then lied on his entry form so as not to have to deal with the consequences of his own arrogance.
Being a fan of Nigel Farage would be a step up.
