Breaking | Immigration Minister Alex Hawke has cancelled Novak Djokovic’s visa.

Novak Djokovic faces being banned from Australia for three years after Immigration Minister Alex Hawke used his personal power to cancel the Serbian tennis star’s visa, as his lawyers prepare to file an immediate injunction against the decision.

Mr Hawke said he had his power under section 133C of the Migration Act to cancel the visa held by Djokovic “on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so”. “The Morrison government is firmly committed to protecting Australia’s borders, particularly in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.”The personal powers granted to the immigration minister to cancel visas are extremely broad.

If the case does go to court, the 20-time grand slam winner’s legal team hope the matter could be heard in court over the weekend and finalised by Sunday, allowing him to play a match early next week if he beats the government for a second time.

Live: Immigration Minister cancels Novak Djokovic’s visaThe Federal Government has decided to cancel Novak Djokovic’s visa because it was “in the public interest to do so”, casting serious doubt over whether the 20-time grand slam champion will compete in the Australian Open. *slams door* and stay out ya gronk! 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.
