and spent four nights in an immigration detention centre.
Australia's immigration minister used his ministerial discretion to cancel the 34-year-old Serb's visa on public interest grounds — only three days before play begins at the Australian Open Djokovic's former coach and mentor, Niki Pilic, described the situation as "shameful" and said Djokovic was being treated like a "criminal".
He did the wrong thing
Ffs ENOUGH. So damn sick of this pathetic saga
Amazing how many other Tennis players managed to get it right.
He broke the rules should have been sent packing on the first available flight. Why should he or anyone else be given preferential treatment? Respect our laws they are there to ensure the safety of the country. The government had every right to revoke his visa
Serbians ? Arnt they Australian if they live here ? If not maybe they should all go home.
Good. We are revolted that Djokovic could treat us as fools.
He being famous or talented dont hv any impact to this issue
Can’t blame him, he had Covid Pfizer and Scott Morrison said that the vaccine do absolutely nothing against “omricon” but have seriously injured people, as a professional athlete I wouldn’t take that risk, What an absolute joke,
Maybe we expected better behaviour from the world's no. 1 tennis player. 🤬
Tough, he broke OUR rules, suck it up.
World's best tennis player correct and a shame not to see him play but a human like the rest of us and subject to the same rules.
Then return to old country and turn in citizenship 💁🏻♀️
Australian rules…. Not Serbian rules!
Fair and considered result when assessing the evidence of his actions whether by his agent or not is just inexcusable. No one should be above the rules nor receive special treatment when the rules are so enforced on our own citizens no exceptions.
I am over the “how to treat the world number 1”. He has been treated as a tourist who has lied and not supplied the correct docs. Boo frigging hoo
Who cares
Lmao what the hell... Funniest quote of the year so far
Protest away..... Australia will just laugh at the stupidity and kick the man out with glee.
him send him packing this is our country not fucking Serbia We’re not gonna be dictated by anyone
Get out Novak
Wake up he lied
regardless which number, people shouldn't lie
DjokerNole thought his money and world ranking would overcome any federal government regulation in any country. How wrong was he.
This is mind blowing hilarious and all his comments are null and void and missing the point. I enjoyed this article very much 😆
And the Australian people don't expect a global role model to stick his middle finger up at breaking the laws in 3 countries and refusing to leave Australia as a visitor despite being told twice.
Meh..youll live
He is an arrogant law breaker. Not a good roll model.
Welcome to Straya.. not Serbia
See ya
I’m revolted that a tennis player would treat Australia like this 😡
Australia didn't expect that the world no 1 would lie to & disrepect Australia's laws.
Seriously is he still here...
Treat others as you yourself would like to be treated. Respectfully?
AlexHawkeMP, Immigration Minister of Australia NEVER studied medical. His privilege to revoke Novak is not based on science or law, it's based on his own personal ideology. Or ScottMorrisonMP ordered it himself while his kids partied and sang at at Hillsong AusOpen
Rules are rules regardless of whether he’s the best tennis player or not, no exception especially with those who lied to get in the country.
Why does it matter who he is? Everyone should be treated the same. We are so so so many people having waited for fucking ever to enter Australia. He's NOT to just glide in because he happens to be famous! It's just fair that his visa got cancelled.
Hey , u should put whose quote was that! U are misleading the public. When read, that was said/quoted by Mila Aleksic, a Belgrade resident, include that in your tweet, unf
'Possums, Novak could have avoided all this, the jab doesn't hurt at all, you just bend over as Scomo says, a little sore but I was fine after a good cup of tea and a bex.'
If he was any other nationality they wouldn’t have an issue…
He's not God
good lesson next time no.t be a liar/?
You are a tennis player, you are a normal person. it doesn’t mean that you don’t respect the country’s laws. Many foreign people are waiting and respecting what government say in orden to enter to Australia.
He must be vaccinated, otherwise he is to be deported.
They can protest until the cows come home
Try being revolted and angry that the ‘world’s best tennis player’ lied, showed no respect for the law and people of his host country, and, for an aspiring world champion, is lacking in ‘noblesse oblige’.
Don't go away mad. Just go away.
This is Australia not serbia. Everyone is equal here. No special treatment is given to any celebrity
I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a woman who recommended me to Diana_Massangi on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with her
why he fkn lied
No ooo vak and medical exemption and money 🥇🥇🏸🏸💰💰💰⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️
Welcome to treat him like King once he is back to Serbia. For us, he is a just another person
Who cares who or what he is? These are our country’s rules. He knew what he was doing all along. If it’s good for 1 tennis player it’s good for all. Suck it up.
When will these guys leave our lovely country?
The 'Don't you know who I am?' defence.
It's ridiculous. Novak should be allow to play with an exemption. And there are plenty of people who have been bullied that should be allowed exemptions and to work again. Drop these ludicrous mandates.
