Sakkal and Galloway said one Liberal Party source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the government was strongly leaning towards cancelling the visa. If the announcement was made later on Friday, it would minimise the amount of time Djokovic had to go to court to prevent the cancellation. Another source close Novak Djokovic, speaking anonymously to detail private planning, told the journalists the top seed’s legal team would immediately take the minister to court if his visa was cancelled.
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.Good morning, happy Friday, and welcome to another day of Djokovic watch.We’re hoping Immigration Minister Alex Hawke announces his decision on the Australian Open champion’s visa today, and we will bring you all the news as soon as it breaks.
He will be deported soon :-)
It is within the minister's power to give exemption because Djokovic is an elite athlete and is of economic benefit to Australia, being no1 seed in the most important tennis match for 2022. 21 record open
It’s February 1st and AlexHawkeMP still yet to make a decision on whether to deport djokovich ? Yet in Belgrade Novak is celebrating with his family after winning the Australian Open. AustralianOpen AusPol2022
Seems like Scomo is not the only person in this Government that takes an eternity to act on anything. Can someone please drop into Hawke's office and check he hasn't dropped off to sleep.
Does the minister and press want to keep running this news while the food and RAT shortage is fixed?
Hawke is out of his depth. Can't make a decision. Hardly what we expect from a 3rd tier manager on $400k + perks
Is it correct that Alex Hawke’s decision on the Djokovic visa has taken so long because Hawke was at the illegal Hillsong dance party festival?
Check out the Tennis Australia 20/21 annual report Guessing “employee benefits” $15mil is exec team & $5m incentives. 5 mil reasons for TA to do anything to get novax in. Entry to the country pushed by wealthy for the wealthy Destination Australia, where the poor need not apply
Visa application is the responsibility of applicant. It’s not a “human error” that then allows you into the country. Anyone else would have been fined & sent home by now. Tennis Australia have over $5m in incentives from 20/21 Annual Report Big hip pocket supporters of novax
Typical conservative mind type, can't make a decision, no facts to suit the reality he wonts, still making them up....should never be in charge of anything..
This is farce built on farce built on farce. Perhaps this Hawke is incapable of decision-making.
What is so difficult 🤷♂️, in my opinion no one should be forced to be vaccinated to work, but if he did falsified he’s paperwork/visa should be allowed to be in the country, if he didn’t let’s move on because everyday it’s more of the same.
Doesn’t take that long to kick back humble and poor people compared to rich and famous
This is insane! Even Pfizer are stepping away from multiple boosters. Pity the media has no backbone anymore to reveal the reason mRNA hasn’t progressed as a cure for cancer is multiple doses killed animals in the lab! WakeUp
If he doesn't go, it will show the government can't control the borders. The one thing they had going for them.
If it takes this long for AlexHawkeMP to make a decision, then he’s definitely in the wrong profession! He should be in a job that doesn't require him to make any decisions at all, only obey them, like stacking shelves at Woolworths or Coles?🤔 Make a decision already or resign!
Milking this for all it's worth until public Push. may come to shove before shoveling. All the bull dust created as last option
Novax to be knocked out of the AO having only missed two shots
He has to go.
Let’s wait till he faces an Aussie in the open then we boot him.
I wonder if they are negotiating how must Djokovic will donate to the liberal party
He’s eating for the opinion poll to tell him what to do
Memo to AlexHawkeMP , if it takes any longer he might be relying on preferences from Hillsong to retain his seat, cause I won't be voting for him and he is fast losing the grey vote in this seat. Or maybe become a usher at Hillsong or go back to the night shift at woolworths
They are doing all sorts of algorithms to work out which decision will get more votes. Oh wait…this is Scomo’s government, making decisions are not their best attributes!
All the Australians who haven't been allowed to enter their own country for more than a year must feel totally screwed...
AlexHawkeMP kick Novaxx out already.
FFS Alex, how hard can it be❓
Boring
He will wait until Novak loses or the open is over then he’ll boot him.
The Federal govt will deport, they will do it at the last minute on Friday afternoon. They will do it at this time in order to prevent a court appeal. The govt is playing dirty.
His silence is only saying Novak is staying.
