Lawyers argued over what impact Novak Djokovic would have on support for vaccination in Australia as the Federal Court was set to decide today whether or not the unvaccinated tennis superstar can stay and defend his Open title.
Nick Wood, acting for Djokovic, pointed to how the player competed in the Australian Open and other major tournaments around the world last year without provoking protests or unrest. Stephen Lloyd, for the government, said Djokovic’s opposition to vaccination could be seen not only in his public statements but also because he had not been vaccinated against Covid-19 even after vaccines became widely available.
He cited Djokovic’s participation in a media interview and photoshoot when he knew he was infected with Covid-19 last month.
