, among others, are celebrating the decision by Immigration Minister Alex Hawke — supported by the Federal Court of Australia — to cancel Djokovic’s visa and uphold Australia’s strong borders.
When the BBC shared the news on Facebook, the majority of commenters were also very supportive of the Morrison Government. “They’ve done the right thing by their citizens, who have had to live under restrictions for some time now. So someone blatantly lying to avoid the rules isn’t OK. He should’ve done the decent things and gone home days ago.”
“Thumbs-up to the Australian rule of law! Respect first to the people, before you go to hit the ball in their country,” another wrote. “This is a public health crisis,” he wrote on Twitter. “In a democracy free speech also comes with an ethical responsibility not to mislead or incite mass harm. Anti-vaxxers are doing just that. ICUs are clogged, people are dying.”
Djokovic left Australia on a flight to Dubai at 10.30pm on Sunday night after the full bench of the Federal Court of AustraliaThe world No. 1 is automatically banned from entering Australia for three years but exemptions are possible under certain circumstances.
Djokovic was granted a Visa on 18 November, and knew he needed a medical exemption to be able to travel into Australia on that visa. The only exemption he thought he could get was “recent Covid”. So, he got Covid - exactly 4 weeks later. Was that planned?
A friend of mine in Germany told me that everyone in Europe is proud of Australia for their decision (except Serbia of course)
Your politicians used you like pawns to gain public votes and you complied like sheep.. Notion that Novak is somehow danger to public health is outrageous. Just remember that he was there last year when no one was vaccinated, ask your self!
Nazi Australia was on display for everyone to see. The media that is complicit in this tyranny cannot change the facts with some silly OP-eds.
Are they also saying it, or just you?
My cousins overseas are laughing at us
Why is it wrong to stand up for yourself?
Exactly no harm to Australia, just an entitled sports person trying to scam us ……. Again!
Australia doesn’t care what other people think or what the rest of the world think of because they are shameless they have no morals no dignity and I have no culture what do you expect from a country like this.. I’m not just talking about tennis only . it’s everything.
Rubbish - our govt is a joke!
Delusional fools
I'm laughing at them
A lot of work to do. The country deserves decent government which we certainly don't have from either major party.
Australia has balls. Something a lot of countries don’t.
why doesnt the government make the vaccine compulsory for everyone.. this would reduce deaths and remove the grey areas around being vaxed or not. would also reduce the strain on our hospitals..
we have one of the greatest reputations in the world. this has only strengthened our reputation. maybe Borat can do a movie about Australia, home of the Boofhead..
I hope the door didn't hit him in the arse on the way out. Nah ,not really 🤣
According to MSM, but most people I know are disgusted by the Morrison gov who they compare to Trump. I tell them about Robodebt and the sex and rapes in parliament and their jaws drop. Do your job.
Forcing DjokerNole to get the jab no matter what is utterly morbid Just months ago, former world 25 JimChardy had horrible sideeffects 4 months later, he has only just begun to hit the ball again This is medical tyranny. We've gone full Dr Mengele BoycottAustralianOpen
The current LNP government has taken care of that don't need anymore to damage our reputation.
I’m an Aussie living in the Dallas. I am hearing first hand a lot of negative comments from my US friends. It usually starts with “what’s up with your homeland…..” I’m clearly a small sample size, but to say it’s not happening is rubbish.
We are the laughing stock of the World so as to please big pharma shame on the government and the federal court.
Correct, rubbish. Goes to show that when there are rules, they are to be complied with no matter which country. bordersecurityrules dontstuffaroundwithaustralia
If assholes had a face it would be an Australian look alike
What a horribile man
Not it isn’t. We are a global disgrace. I’m embarrassed to call myself an Australian.
This is how we view you all now
Are you sure?
Just the latest in a long line of incidents that has damaged your reputation.
That and watching your coppers shoot rubber bullets at its citizens tells us all we need the know.
Australia is a prison.
Your ability to spin a story into something it isn’t never ceasss to amaze me. We are the laughing stock of the world and everyone knows it.
It's damaged our reputation here, let alone overseas. Maybe not amongst the Covid fanatics or the neurotic safetyists. But amongst freedom-loving Aussies (who I admit I thought were a greater part of the population) the damage is permanent.
Yeah, its improved it🤪🤣
everyone jealous because it’s what most people would want their governments to do but many don’t have the guts
Only damaging to the eyes of nut jobs and loonies who you wouldn’t want coming to Oz anyway.
hope u r right
It enhanced your reputation for me.
Fake news. Do a quick search on all the negative publicity. Walk to wall. Which is fine if we have brief shoulders just don’t lie about it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No more tennis open in this country
Was Novak issued with a valid visa by the deplorables in the Australian government? Did the Federal Court of Australia give Novak the all clear to play? Did the Australian government know that Novak was un-vaccinated and that he was not in favour of gene therapy? I rest my case
No image of a bare chested chrishemsworth is gonna change the world’s opinion of us. We’re a nation that is 90 something % & we’re afraid of a tennis player.
