Novak Djokovic faces deportation from Australia after federal court upholds visa cancellation

as he is a “talisman of anti-vaccination sentiment”.

The decision is a major setback for Djokovic’s quest to win a 10th Australian Open crown and a record 21st grand slam title. “I am uncomfortable that the focus of the past weeks has been on me and I hope that we can all now focus on the game and tournament I love. Djokovic’s lawyers had argued Hawke’s decision was “illogical, irrational or unreasonable” and the minister based it on Djokovic’s public statements about vaccination without actually seeking his views.added that Hawke had failed to consider the impact on anti-vaccination sentimentIn court on Sunday, the minister’s counsel, Stephen Lloyd, argued Australia “must not be bound to suffer the presence of an alien for fear of what might happen if they were removed”.

Djokovic’s visa was first cancelled by Australian Border Force hours after he arrived at Melbourne airport and he wasOn Monday a federal circuit court judge restored Djokovic’s visa, concluding it was unreasonable for the ABF to renege on a deal to give him more time at the airport to address the exemption issue.

“The Morrison government’s own argument before the court was that Mr Djokovic’s visa should be cancelled because his presence here may foster anti-vaccination sentiment based on what he did and said before he was granted a visa,” Keneally said.

For the ones celebrating, remember that the minister just he was inciting insurrection without any evidence, if they do things to a high profile, guess what's going to happen to you insignificant bastards 🤔

Australian government - political machine without intelligence.

This 'tough' stand by the Federal Government has now ensured many 'progressives' will vote Lib/LNP

Surely Craig Tilly must go after this debacle
