Breaking: The Australian government’s decision to cancel Novak Djokovic’s visa has been sensationally overturned, the court has just heard. Follow live

Djokovic’s court case still hasn’t resumed, but given the court has shifted the stream to YouTube, it’s at least not a technical glitch.

The minister’s lawyers also submit that there was no injustice by giving Djokovic less time than stated as there was “no evidence” as to what Djokovic would or could have done by contacting his lawyers, “whom he had contacted previously”. Djokovic appealed on three grounds, arguing the decision to cancel the visa was illogical, irrational or legally unreasonable, and that he was denied procedural fairness.Nutting it out further, Djokovic’s lawyers said he met the criteria for a temporary medical exemption from receiving a COVID-19 vaccination because he had been infected in December.

Politics_SMHAGE And NovakDjokovichas has yet to even be tested for COVID since his arrival! Such blatant disregard for others (including fellow players) and another country's mandates for entry is criminal. And I don't care how famous he may be. AustralianOpen2022

All legal costs to be paid by the tax payer. Why should the people pay for govt stuff ups?!?!

Even though Novex likely lied about having covid in December, the judge knows that this government lied for sure when looking cancel joker visa.

Thank gif for the judge. Minister now keep quite to avoid Intl embarrassment.

Kick the bastard out anyway. He encouraged others not to get vaccinated and they are the majority clogging up the emergency beds while my planned (bollocks to 'elective') surgery has been postponed indefinitely. He can take Scotty from marketing with him.

Even as a double vaccinated person, IMO the judge made the right decision based on the facts. However, the Minister’s post comments scare me. That’s not democracy! The PM must do better, don’t overrule the judge’s decision!

And now the Home affairs minister she must to resign

😂 this is so funny. What a precedent this will set. Rules only apply to those can’t defend themselves. The hypocrisy of this decision. What a can of worms this will soon open. Refuse to play him. Refuse to watch him. TA doesn’t deserve your hard earned money as they don’t care.

there is no DATA none in the world that shows the Vaccinated cannot transmit !!!!! if so then why does countries like France with 90% Vaxxed still have high numbers....

Silly Australians.... in the end why do you want a vaccination to stop getting Corona.... but if you recently got it and are immune you cannot get it again !!! so why fuss about the vaccination status ? ... brains stuck ? ... i think the country is forgotten WHY

Appears court didn't rule on the basis to decline his visa but on the process to decline (not afforded appropriate time to respond). Leaves door open to decline visa on the basis of no vaccination. Gov should decline visa to clarify the no vaccination issue and deter copycats

Injustice “Money Talks”

Wonder what other Covid clusterf$&ks could be challenged in the courts?

Novak met all the immigration requirements the LNP set out. Due to the community outage, the visa saga was introduced to distract from the covid management failure. Don’t blame the player blame the LNP set the entering rules then overturns it to distract failure & play innocent.

He had all his paperwork in order that the government needed so what else can the court’s do

Is there anything Morrison gets right even by chance? The embarrassment for Australia goes on with this man at the helm.

boycottAustralianOpen and ALL their sponsors

So the self entitled brat 'Novax' can stay. Just as he had no regard for the safety of children he was giving awards to while actively infected with Covid: he will have equal contempt for the safety of Australian citizens. I wish him to lose every game, every set & the tournament

Don’t forget, everyone. Rules are rules.

What a total cocktail up! Well done Australia.

Fine example of how money talks, hope all those attending throw tomatoes at him 🖕

There is nothing sensational about being overturned. The Morrison Govt did not come to court with clean hands. Probable decision w/b overturned. auspol auslaw NovakDjokovic

Not really surprised. I think there are legal issues about how the vaccination requirement is communicated at the visa application stage and what information is given about verification requirements. Not a well developed legal scheme.

This is a real injustice to the Australian people who are not afforded the same. I do hope the Australian Government moves to cancel the visa and deport

Australian Sovereign Borders have fallen ScottMorrisonMP

We cannot expect immigration officials to be lawyers. Smart lawyers can unpick procedure leaving the government awash in public condemnation.

Anti-science guy influences countless people to be antivaxx under false belief not safe (it is, 9 deaths/37m shots in NSW). Unvaccinated make up 99% of serious illness, hospitalisations, deaths. Djokovic supports illness/death based on HIS opinion w/out data. NoVaxDeathCovic

Looks like Scumo's Tampa Moment became his tampon moment.

he did everything asked of him, that's what the judge said.

Brilliant

So, DjokerNole has just received treatment no Australian citizen can receive, let that sink in for a moment! Plus, our Government no longer has control over our borders. How embarrassing for this country! Time to boycott the AusOpen auspol

Politics_SMHAGE But with a kicker at the end!

Lol

another L for Scotty

Let's see what Karen Andrews has to say this should be interesting...

What happened to “Rules are Rules!” Hey Mr. ScottMorrisonMP

A Karen could still bundle him out

Release him, then cancel his visa and deport him

Fine example of money talks

Literally Australia is now the laughing stock of the world...this was a complete joke (pun not intended). Wouldn't it be funny if he gets knocked out first round and never comes back to Australia ever again.

And the refugees will be stuck there another 9 years 🙄

Boo!

Morrison Government is finished.

complete BS

Let's go!!!!!!!!!

Good that justice is served. I was optimistic and believed that this would happen always. Now, the tyrants who run this country need to by held to account for their despotic behaviour.

Can’t wait for him to beat all his “friends” to the title.

How? He’s not vaccinated, send him home.

Novak Djokovic relied on December Covid infection for Australian vaccine exemption, court documents revealTennis star accuses Australian government officials of unfairly pressuring him to accept visa cancellation, documents show I struggle to sympathise with a wealthy foreigner who enters a country unvaccinated while they are struggling to control a new outbreak. And it's not clear what proof he gave that did have covid - im sure he could pay any doctor in Serbia to make any kind of declaration. Meanwhile, a vaccinated world No1 is winning matches in Adelaide...
