Djokovic’s lawyers are expected to seek an immediate injunction which would allow him to stay and play his first round of the Australian Open pending an expedited trial next week.
However, migration experts believe Djokovic’s diplomatic passport shouldn’t lead to special treatment in his visa fight. “And here comes this guy who clearly lied on his application about when he travelled to another country. “None of us would want to get into such a situation. I can only shrug my shoulders and regret that instead of tennis, everyone is discussing these things.”“It’s starting to affect the players, the way they prepare, yesterday they were waiting around an extra hour to find out who they play,” Groth told“A lot of the players made the decision to get vaccinated, whether they wanted to or not, to come down to play the Australian Open.
Like the head line says No Vax, no play Get vaccinated then you can play simple
The man also lied on his declaration form. If a team member filled it out, that too is against the law. It’s the law to fill out and sign your own form. Deport him and teach him a lesson. No special treatment.
Vaxxed or not vaxxed, I don't care what people's personal preference is. However, if the unvaxxed Aussie people have conditions on what they can and can't do here, what makes him so special that he doesn't have to follow our laws and rules like everyone who loves here does
How is it in the public's interest to cancel his visa? He doesn't have a whole new strain of covid! And everyone else already has omnicrom. If you want to be honest it would most likely him that ends up sick no one else!
He has a visa. He stays! His fans will be VERY upset!
Just another Scomo look over there distraction from his incompetence… again
Public interest my foot. The Morrison got is looking for votes.
Excellent. Good riddance to anti vaccination person. You can’t have one rule for one and the rest have different rule
I want to see him play. Who really honestly gives a shit if he isn't vaxed or not, seriously. The government has used this case as a means to get us hating on unvaxed.. its fuckn bullshit.. think about how ridiculous this is everyone, just for a second
Typical sensationalist headlining. That's the secondary reason given.
It’s a no-brainer… he lied on the visa application. That should be enough.
Thank you Australian Border Force
The media never publicizes the right things.
That’s politician interest !
It took them that long because they were busy obtaining polling to see how to deal with this the best way politically.
Since when does the Federal Government know what the public’s best interest is and since when did they ever act for it?
Hasn't he watched Australian Border Security on TV That's what happens when one lies on their application and he may not be back for 3 years.
Who can represent and decide “public interest ”? In the name of people? It sounds like socialism country, like dictator country, such as North Korea and China, government above law? Be careful, that’s dictator.
If u r world's no 1 its doesn't mean u hav different set pf rules then public. I m glad that by this decision Aus has set an example that no1 is above the rule of d land. Just bcoz he is djovik people r criticizing gov? Would these people support me if i enter Aus unvaccinated?
I don't want to see him playing get vaccinated
No one is above the law .. senator Jackie or Shane … please don’t add fuel to fire … .. his father family are commenting Australia as dictatorship… well it’s on the contrary they joker family come from Marshal Tito’s country? What say
👍👍👍👍
Finally a good decision made by the government
He should have been sent back immediately after he was detained at the airport without an appeal. I’m very right wing but the law is the law. Hope you & your beautiful dogs are well. We are freezing in UK but it is winter I guess. Have a great weekend 🥂🐾🐾👏👏💐
Excellent 👍
About time!
1- The country's laws and regulations regarding the unvaccinated are clear to Australians or others in advance 2- Regarding exemption, I think they should be on a specific rules, grounds and not randomly Respect ✊ the law is a must
Toot toot motherfucker.. hahaha
Goodbye No 1 liar
WilliamReidBoyd Good
In other words.. they were embarrassed and couldn't let him get away with it.. Country of Karens and Darrens.
No VIP. No excuses.
Australia to aktualnie faszystowski kraj.
Novax, no visa, Novak.
Djokovic has every reason to not want any of the mRNA jabs. In years to come, he may be one of a few with no major health concerns caused by vaccinations, which poison & kill rather than provide immunization. ‘Game, set, match’ Novak in the Australian Open. You win regardless!
In the public interest hmmm. That means there is no legislated reason why he couldn't stay and play. However, without actual legislation, the government, in my experience, cites 'in the public interest' where 'the public' is the federal government and it *wishes* him to leave.
🤬🤬🤬🤬 Victory for fasists and one more step towards dictatorship can't wait to hear you all whinge when government starts targeting all of you
great, dont let the door slap your arse on the way out
NoVaxDjoCovid DjokovicOut
He plays a game for a living with set rules, these are the rules for Australia so pay by then too......
Come to Australia the most backwards country on the planet, surrounded by water we live in a cocoon....
That's the right call but national health policy should've been the deciding factor, not pleasing public opinion just for votes
Who cares vaccines don’t work !
Leaving on a key plane......
The only thing AlexHawkeMP and ScottMorrisonMP have done is show that there is NO democracy in Australia after judge Anthony Kelly ruled he could play in the AO. 'What more could he have done'. Aus is the laughing stock of the world. Scomo, Hawke and Andrews must resign
Why is Border Force considering the “public interest” when implementing visa controls? Decisions should be based on the law. Looks like a PR stunt to me.
Where the No vac in the Cricket teams? Zero. F o Novak
Australia is a safer place now with, Novack out. Thanks
Fair enough! When is next flight back home? We have more important problems to deal with ..
Australia has officially become a dictatorship. We should be so proud.
The Australian Government is looking like a joke at the moment. All this bluster because the Serbians stood up for themselves and said no to a Rio Tinto lithium mine? This is childish behaviour by Scomo and his ministers. Time to grow up!
Shocking decision.Australia are the laughing stock of the world.Going against their own court of law.Ireland is highest vax country in Europe and highest case rate.Sweden low vax and low cases,and more side effects this past year than entire vaccines combined in history
What if he was an American player the decision would be the same? I doubt so 😁
NoVax goes ByeBye.
Play silly games, win silly prizes. LyingPlagueRat
Everyone who applauds this decision is supporting the lose of bodily sovereignty. Dangerous territory to be chartering in and in this incidence, without any epidemiological justification.
Good riddance!
No better than the Nazis this government of ours
Lol. Now he's going to take it to the High Court which will rule the Minister's discretionary powers unconstitutional. And he'll stay. Can't believe the government is risking it all on a tennis player. What a joke.
Bye Bye Novaxx
👏👏👏 Australia 🙏
in the public interests? maybe in liberal gov interests. last liberal damage to australia prestige in the world.
he way less of a threat to spread covid than those entering supermarkets and travelling on public transport
Good
What a joke
Roflmao as if the lnp government have any clue at all as to what the 'public interest' is the same government who failed on vaccines, quarantine and rapid antigen tests doesn't know it's ass from it's mouth
Or more likely, very expensive polling that we probably paid for said they should…
Let’s go back to court
F*cking awesome
Public interest or to divert attention from your failed policy
Abort time! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ok good. Now can we get back to that Hillsong thing and sort that out just as decisively?
You break the law…you deal with the consequences. See ya later Novak.
Oh, but Australia doesnt have mandates. Pathetic.
No vax, no travel. Should be as simple as that
DjokerNole This was the right thing to do. You now should leave with grace.
After a week of investigating 'in the public interest' is the best we can come up with?
The right thing to do!
The sheer high percentage rate of unvaxed in ICU and death in NSW and Vic torpedoed Djokovic rejection. To remain means being unvaxed is a glory, it isn't.
The same people that are happy about this are the same people who whinge about China
*slams door* and stay out ya gronk!
