Australian government cancels Novak Djokovic's visa again

MELBOURNE: The Australian government cancelled Novak Djokovic's visa for a second time on Friday , saying the world tennis number 1, who is unvaccinated for COVID-19, may pose a risk to the community.

"Today I exercised my power under section 133C of the Migration Act to cancel the visa held by Mr Novak Djokovic on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so," Hawke said in a statement. Under the section of the Migration Act which the minister used to exercise his power to cancel the visa, Djokovic would not be able to secure a visa to come to Australia for three years, except in compelling circumstances that affect Australia's interest.Australian court orders Djokovic's release from immigration detention after he wins court battle

The tennis star, a vaccine sceptic, fuelled widespread anger in Australia when he announced last week he was heading to Melbourne for the Australian Open with a medical exemption to requirements for visitors to be inoculated against COVID-19. A court on Monday allowed him to stay on the grounds that officials had been"unreasonable" in the way they handled his interview in a seven-hour process in the middle of the night.

Just leave novak

Novax, no visa, Novak.

Bye Bye Novak!

Shocking decision.Australia are the laughing stock of the world.Going against their own court of law.Ireland is highest vax country in Europe and highest case rate.Sweden low vax and low cases,and more side effects this past year than entire vaccines combined in history

Bravo......right is right....wrong is wrong.....I hope this tennis player can understand what he did.....🤔
