Novak Djokovic will face a full bench of the federal court on Sunday in a last-ditch attempt to overturn his cancelled visa before the Australian Open kicks off on Monday.

The World No.1 was transferred back into detention at the Park Hotel in Carlton on Saturday after a brief preliminary hearing where his lawyers argued for the appeal to be heard in front of the full bench.

Djokovic is set to face fellow Serbian world No. 78 Miomir Kecmanović in the first round but could be forced to forfeit the tie should his appeal fail with the Commonwealth likely to push for immediate deportation. “I have given consideration to the fact that Mr Djokovic is a high profile unvaccinated individual, who has indicated publicly that he is opposed to becoming vaccinated against COVID-19,” Mr Hawke said.

Mr Hawke also said there was evidence which suggested Djokovic had in the past shown an “apparent disregard for the need to isolate” following a positive COVID-19 test.

This is just bullshit

Tell them this is why you didn't get the jab Novak.

That’s ok, 90+ % of the country got vaccinated so this flog can come here and play tennis.🙄😆

Ridiculous that’s required. Presumably the judges will feel slighted that an elected member of parliament actually did what the country wants - which is require Djokavic’s removal -over their colleague’s wishes. If they have any insight whatsoever they’ll agree with the minister.

Boot him out.

Legally able to enter as proven by judgement and how a politicians needed to desperately use special powers to use inequality and discrimination 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️ like when incarcerated Covid negative aborigine teenagers in Covid detention camps and arrested them when they left

Good. At least the court workers will he on double time 👍

Is this not just yet another example of racist Australia . . . This wouldn't have happened to someone from the UK or the US . . .

Is federal court normally open on Sundays for common Australians? just curious 🤔

Full Bench. Wow . The entitled and their money can achieve anything. He's a liar . He's making a mockery of us . Anyone else would be long gone by now. You love on your firm's you go . Simple . Big tennis player or not.

If Nole wins, and he's allowed to play, it will bring the whole Government charade of locking things up for the last 2 years crashing down around their ears. Therefore, Nole cannot stay.

Now seems the Australian way is that it's ok to treat people unfairly if unpopular ? Explains the refugee plight ?

I must admit I don't like this Man... But has my 100% Support Why is Vaccination even a thing when clearly we are yet to develop an effective Vaccine against Covid-19...

Are we deporting Craig Kelly or George Christianson or Pauline Hanson or any of the other anti vaxxers supporting this government in parliament. DOUBLE STANDARD. It’s ok as long as you vote with the government. ScottytheFailure

a. When in Rome do as Romans do. b. A precedent can’t be set for a high profile. c. Popularity doesn’t constitute authenticity. d. A perfect skill still a skill, a far cry from the greatest. Last, qualifications are to be determined by a country & public interest must be upheld.

Too late for all these men. ScottytheFailure

Smell the privilege. ScottytheFailure

A few centuries ago the bulk of the population wanted to burn witches, the irrational thinking around Djokovic is because that’s how we’ve been conditioned with the constant fearporn from govt and MSM over the past 2 years

If COVID-19 is anywhere, it is potentially everywhere. COVID-19 vaccines will save many lives.

Deport deport deport him 🎼

Incredible what money and fame can do in such a short space of time.

Melbourne lava bubble or is it a Lava Lamp

What the unvaxed Serbian has done to their own is appalling. 13003 of their country men had passed but the glory worship of unvaxed Djokovic edges on evil. Serbia. 13003 Covid death 49% unvaxed.

The government successfully split Australia with this incident. During the lockdown last year ,Morrison left Canberra and returned to his home in Sydney in block the rule , and was not too condemned too much for this. It was a double standard.

What time the plane leaving as his supporters can give him a send off at the airport

Sorry like the guy but Rules are Rules Red Card
