Anthony Albanese says it should ‘never have come to this’ as Jacqui Lambie implores immigration minister to ‘stop this debacle’

Labor has accused the Morrison government of dragging out the

Djokovic’s lawyers are prepared to challenge a visa cancellation, which has made the Australian government hesitant to pull the trigger until it is certain it won’t be reversed by a court.A lengthy legal battle could drag the saga into the next week, when the men’s tennis world No 1 is due to begin his Australian Open title defence.

Although the visa was restored by the federal circuit court on Monday, Hawke began to consider cancelling it again under a separate personal power.but confirmed he expected authorities to enforce “So maybe it’s about time to stop this debacle, finish it once and for all … and make up your mind, Alex Hawke. Where are you, missing in action? Make a decision,” she told Channel Nine’s Today.Photograph: Mick Tsikas/AAP

At a press conference in Maryborough in Queensland, Labor’s shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers accused the government of “using this Novak Djokovic saga as a distraction from the shortages in our supermarkets, the shortages in our chemists, the shortages of workers”., said it should “never have come to this” because Djokovic should not have been granted a visa if not eligible for an exemption.

Albanese noted it had been 60 days since the visa was granted and said the government had “never answered the question of how is it that that visa was granted in the first place if he wasn’t eligible because he wasn’t fully vaccinated”.On Thursday Morrison explained that having a visa is different to satisfying the requirements for entry to Australia, warning those should not be “conflated”.

morrison forget anthony you dun the write think;

Instead of the RAT fiasco we're still talking about a tennis player. The media took the bait. After 8 days they're still biting... Thanks for nothing guys.

Australian government is not dragging out anything.Djokovic can afford to take a charter flight and leave within a minute. He is simply exposing the attitude between the haves and the haves not.

perfect distraction

No 'further comment at this time': Scott Morrison questioned over Novak Djokovic sagaPrime Minister Scott Morrison refused to be drawn on the Novak Djokovic saga as the men's tennis world number one still awaits a decision on whether his visa will be cancelled.
