Good luck with this one , suing for the missed prize money 😂😂😂😂

Idiot

Good, should have been 60 mill.

He should. So should all the people losing their jobs to ineffective mandates.

Which is more important ? U or the population? You and your country don’t have energency pandemic rules?

Virus or tennis - gov job to De

Yeah? Where? In the intergalactic Star Wars court? Who will be the judge? Jar Jar Binks? 🤪🤪🤪 let’s pretend we don’t know how anything actually works. Fun.

A Kangaroo court must pay compensation !!Descendants of robbers and convicts have little understanding of the law! That's why their coffers will be reduced by 3 to 4 million dollars !!

2 chances Buckleys and None

Go for it Novak!

Good decision. He will probably win.

This is Djoko !

It was coming!

I hope he does.

Well ... hope it's true

Bigger joke, Novak Djoker make Tennis Australia to pay for Novak Djoker pending legal sue the Australia Federal Government. Australian and Victorian must be in SHAME. Whose HEADS must roll....roll.....roll.

Let make these fascists pay! Lets go

Novak please win and do not forget to sue Ben Rothenberg!

Judge Kelly: 'If there is to be an exercise of personal power by some other minister following the Applicant's release ... His personal and professional reputation and economic interests may be directly affected Djokovich can sue minister of imigration

official court warning, Djokovic could potentially sue anyone ( Minister of Immigration) for severe damages to his reputation and economic interests. DjokerNole

Maybe in fact the journalist he subjected to the virus should sue him

I’m sure sponsors are not gonna like that! May be he will sue them too …

Djokovic is right to refuse the vax. We all should. Unnecessary, since the avg age at death from covid is around 82 yrs of age. We have been lied to. The risk of death from covid is LESS than we were led to believe. This came out of UK after FOI request:

Only 6 Mil? Ok, it is a start! I hope he will do that. NovakDjokovic

YES!! Thank you *GREATEST-TENNIS-PLAYER* !!!! You are a HERO!!!!

Good. I hope he wins. Australia screwed up bad and cost him a lot of valuable time and money. Aussie citizens are like jews in a concentration camp that get angry at free jews and demand they be punished too. Pathetic.

Even now the wordings being used by the media shows the bias-ness and self obsession without a guilt in the world. FakeNews Djokovic DjokerNole best wishes and respect for you my friend. Keep shining and the ones that talk ill off you need to look themselves in the mirror too

Obviously! Sue the sheep land ! Biggest discrimination and racism haven’t been seen since 🇦🇺 slavery !

Aussies were ever so quick to take the money he donated to help people during the terribly destructive fires but also so quick to boot him out for bs reasons. Says a lot

It's a shame that he can't personally sue the PM. What a scandal.

he should sue TennisAustralia and CraigTiley for misleading him in thinking he has the right to enter Australia

who cares

After his visa was cancelled upon arriving he was free to leave the country immediately. He chose not to leave and to appeal so he sol.

Awwwwe....poor Novaxx...Suck it up Buttercup

Sue their arses of Nole.

Where does he think that money comes from? It comes from tax payers like me - is $220m not enough for him? I've never been impressed with that guy.

Scott Morrison needs to go now.

He should do this so justice be served.

If taxpayers have to pay 6mill to that pos he should be banned from entering Australia for life

Hope not to be consideration but truth.

Do it for the people

👏👏👏💪 please AU$ 20million.

Daje!

Well that's a reliable news source!!

Nice, and it should be paid not by politicians but by retarded Australian tax payers. Only problem with this is Nole asking for too little amount. Idiots should pay much more, if not to Nole than to the humanity.

lets fukin go!🍿

Oh fuck him 🤪😜🤪

The damage is considerably greater than 6M

Total support. Go Djoko 💪

IStandWithDjokovic

I hope he does then we might get the truth about Tennis Australia's input. Bring it on!

Sounds like Clive Palmer.

I hope he does and he wins!

Australians want the current Australian Government to step down and resign. It doesn’t care about anyone in Australia apart from Billionaires & Hillsong. VoteScottMorrisonOut

How was he ill treated? Has he said?

GROAN

Djokovic claims he has antibody test. saveKoko

He can sue Tennis Australia

He probably has long COVID, with brain fog.

Renata Voracova who was arrested a month after entering Australia, strip-searched and deported should also get her justice after what she endured.

Australian government couldn’t care less it’ll be the taxpayers fronting the bill😡😡😡

Even if he wins, won’t be surprising if some minister will exercise magical discretionary powers to overturn the decision. Logic does not seem to always work as we saw last Sunday Djokovic AusOpen

Iam good at that, however they shouldn't have let him to come in if they intention was kicking him out I guess

Hope he does fuck them.

why would you even host this event in Australia anyway? inconvenient time for the rest of the world to watch, long travel hours, ridiculous rules, expensive accommodation, .... Dubai or Singapore are way better positioned... 😑

he's a good lad power to him

And it shouldn’t come out of tax payer money.

He'd be better off suing Tennis Australia and the Australian Open.

Novak Djokovic suing AUSTRALIAN TAX PAYERS because he lied on his form and was kicked out.

Poor Baby lost the sponsorship money from telling porkies, then blaming the team for stuffing his life up. Zero F**ks given

I hope both he & Renata sue the pants off the government for such disgraceful, unethical treatment of these individuals.

Good

Reading between the lines on this, you`d have to think he`s every chance of winning the case. Beats 2 weeks of hard toil and sweat on the court for a third of that. Never liked the bloke really but hardly his fault for getting here in the first place. winner I guess

That's a rather specific amount 🤔.

Anyone seen Djokovics property portfolio across the globe? It’s staggering. So I suggest the joker not sue the Australian taxpayer for his few days in detention.

Good hope he does

Many more will sue governments in the future not just him I believe.

It’s a disaster. Djokovic is not above the law! I thought he could do what he liked.

Yawn!

He needs the cash because unless he gets vaccinated the French won't let him in. I am sure his sponsors will be talking to him soon.

I guess if action taken will not be entering australia until 2026

NOVAK. You accepting too much:you did damage to yourself, UNVACCINATED-NO ENTRY, NO MEDICAL EXEMTION FOR PLYER N.1, VISA ISSUE-NOT VALID,SO DETENTION OCCURED,TECHICALLY THEY ELIMINATED YOU. WHO YOU CAN SUE?GIVE FORTUNE TO YOUR LAWYERS AND JUDGES WHO ARE DOING LIKE IN YOUR COUNTRY

Hilarious!

🤢🤒😷💉

Let him come to my neighbourhood i will show him what ill treatment is.

Reports that several tennis stars at the Australian Open are Covid-positive. But thank goodness we deported Novak Djokovic. The only player with antibodies.

Novak Djokovic is the controlling shareholder in a Danish biotech firm aiming to develop a treatment for Covid-19 that does NOT involve vaccination. The bloke puts his money where his mouth is. Unlike all his keyboard warrior haters.

Spare us the wah wah's please Novax! Do the righty and you could've stayed AND played!!

And rightly so ! This story is not going away.

I indicated at the start of this fiasco Djokovic wil sue and settle. As soon as landed the system went rogue against him. From the PM down. Strange a as belief system might be , the system only publicized it for no net gain.

No problem, let whoever supported his deportation pay for it.

No Vax Jock itch is a GOD DAMN HERO.

😆 😆 😆 😆 go hard Novack

Well that will surely seal his fate for future tournaments here. DjokerNole

When you give someone a visa and then strip it from them mid-flight without notice by sending Border Force into push them out of the country, then you deserve to be sued and lose.

Good I hope he does the government allowed Nicole kidman n Keith urban 2 quarantine in their holiday house also 1 of Australia's billionares was allowed here after he caught covid from China was allowed 2 stay at a hotel via

Excellent, I hope he can get more money from the morons

Did they take photos of the injuries of his torture from Australia's secret service?

He should 100% I hope he does!!
