An exclusive survey shows 71% of Australians think the world No.1 should not be allowed to stay despite his claim for an exemption from rules that require visitors to be fully vaccinated. CroweDM reports djokovic australianopen

More than two-thirds of Australians believe Novak Djokovic should be sent home without playing in the Australian Open, as the tennis champion goes to court on Sunday to fight a sensational federal move to deport him.shows 71 per cent of Australians think the world No.1 should not be allowed to stay despite his claim for an exemption from rules that require visitors to be fully vaccinated.AP

With Prime Minister Scott Morrison declaring that health rules had to be applied, the poll results show strong majority support for the government position among Labor, Coalition and uncommitted voters.“Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the result of those sacrifices to be protected,” Mr Morrison said on Friday night.

While supporters of the Australian Open fear that the furore will damage the iconic Melbourne event, the popular mood against him crosses state borders.The case for him to go home was backed by 71 per cent of Victorian respondents, 69 per cent of NSW respondents and 70 per cent of those in Queensland.

The survey was conducted during the height of the argument over the case but the question did not assume a federal ruling or a court outcome. The government is expected to insist that Mr Hawke has broad powers under the law to refuse a visa for someone who is not vaccinated, in this case citing the importance of health and safety as well as the wider public interest during the pandemic.

CroweDM The new motto of this country is 'Don't think for yourself, just follow the cowbell'.

CroweDM have you done a survey about the free RATs?

CroweDM The laws and regulations are for EVERYONE!!!!

CroweDM Must’ve surveyed Lib party room!

CroweDM None of us believe the poll numbers , vax rates or any other faux statistical numbers anymore. Stop the lies already . The people are speaking and not in favour of mandates, or they wouldn't be deporting people for assumed political beliefs and the fear of an icon of free choice.

CroweDM Booo

CroweDM DjokerNole is guilty of 'orchestrating' with TennisAustralia, CraigTiley and VicGovAu with 'conveniently' catching Covid .. he didn't have another option if he wants to play in AustralianOpen with a few weeks left before flying in .. deserves what he gets !! DJOKES ON U !!

CroweDM Can you do an exclusive survey on how many people want Fukmo and his government gone?

CroweDM Really Stop the obsession. This should be purely a legal issue and have been decided weeks ago. Nothing to do with what we think. And god forbid the next chook raffle these people organise !!!

CroweDM im sure its much higher than 71%.

CroweDM And now we know why ScottyFromMarketing's pet Minister waited for so long to announce the decision. They had to get the focus groups in first - not the medics, not the lawyers, the pollsters. Auspol AuspolSoCorrupt

CroweDM well majority rules doesn't it

CroweDM I’m sorry. Who was surveyed?

CroweDM A similar number of Australians want to put Morrison on the same plane.

CroweDM Bullshit survey! Lol.. the narrative along with the msm is falling apart like its triple dosed with foreign metals and has myocarditis

CroweDM This is squarely about politics with Morrison following polls of public sentiment to make decisions. Novak was wrongly given permission to get into the country and manipulated a confused system. Whatever the outcome now it will be a loose loose decision

CroweDM AustralianOpen His agitation of this issue disrespects the game by prioritising his own interests. If he had respect for the game he'd withdraw from the Open to remove the distraction. Aus Open has equally failed. For same reasons they should cancel his exemption & move on.

CroweDM 🐑🐑🐑

CroweDM More to do with lack of education and mob mentality than the facts in the context of the Law.

CroweDM Quick! Everyone focus on this one tennis guy over there so you forget how much we fucked out health system over here..

CroweDM On first impressions, the image portrays a Labor vs Liberal poll! Your rag is just that. whathaveyoubecome ninefax

CroweDM Likely that these numbers would be similar to the support for the Victorian government needing powers to respond the pandemics at the expirey of the state of emergency on Dec 16th. Even now Matthew Guy has on his facebook a pledge to revoke the law. The public get it.

CroweDM Isn’t this the poll Djokovics lawyers quoted yesterday as being in his favour?

CroweDM Novax is just a liar and a cheat. Why he hasn't been deported by now is unbelievable. Voracova got ousted so the same goes for Novax.

CroweDM Decisions by polls of less than 2000 people chosen by a method not disclosed is the new guidance for democratic society.....the media is a disgrace.

CroweDM No special treatments for the rich celebrities! All AustralianOpen participants followed rules and got vaccinated. It’s not about one player

CroweDM Is polling how we determine our refugee response? I thought the Howard days were over?

CroweDM So it appears the decision to cancel his visa was based on polls rather than principle. Ultimately this whole sorry saga is not a good look for the rule of law.

CroweDM Yeah baby.

CroweDM That stuffed up by issuing a visa at the start. Won’t be surprised if Australia will lose the open due to mishandling of this

CroweDM 71% of Australians or 71% of Austr aliens

CroweDM Was there an ' I don't care. Support our health care workers' option? ScottyDoesNothing ThisIsNotJournalism auspoI

CroweDM Correct

CroweDM How on earth did anti vaxxer get passport in the first place

CroweDM Popular sentiment based on emotion allows ministers to detain people for years - one enables the other.

CroweDM How is it possible that 78% of fully vaccinated Aussies fears the healthiest athlete in the world? I thought that vaccines are working? Aussies have developed Stockholm syndrome! Witch-hunt!

CroweDM The people have spoken 💁🏻‍♀️

CroweDM Human rights as a popularity contest. Now do the refugees in detention at the same hotel. Or are you worried that the results of that poll would reveal some very uncomfortable truths about Australians?

CroweDM Makes me sad what Australians have been convinced to believe.

CroweDM Funny how Australians wanted him here in the 2021 Open! Oh, btw. I think he was allowed in, didn’t pose any risks and still won the Open while Delta Covid was raging. I thought Omicron was a mild flu? What’s so different about Novak staying here in 2022?

CroweDM Shout out to the Aus media in successfully deferring the actual problems Australia has with covid RAT tests, reintroduction of restrictions, updates on mandatory 3rd booster, and focusing all the blame on a tennis player for being granted an exemption by the aus gov.

CroweDM 4/4 This would be funny if it wasn't sad and you still support it. Shame on you.

CroweDM You simply cannot gain entry based on a lie. How can Anthony Kelly justify that. He is supposed to represent the will of the people, instead he represented Djokovic, to the shock of most.

CroweDM It's interesting that DjokerNole has the support of 29% of Australians and last time (before this scandal) ScottMorrisonMP had 28%.

CroweDM Exclusive survey You mean the Resolve Strategic survey of 1607 people on line. Resolve Strategic, the company contracted by Fed Libs to do their internal polling & taxpayers are paying for it ...
