The guy informed them of his non vaccinated status. He was granted exemption... entry into the country and permission to play. When he got there the narrative changed.... the reason he went to court. Call him what you want.... the man has a backbone .... he is standing up for his right... and that is the main reason he lost .... because he will embolden others to do the same. Those who are criticizing him for taking a stand.... isn't it the same Rosa Parks did when she sat in the White Section of the bus and refused to get up?... the reason why today Blacks can sit anywhere in a a bus in the US?.... isn't it the same Kyrie Irving is doing?... unvaccinated and not playing basketball in matches held in States requiring vaccination?... is it not the same Muhammes Ali did?... not joining the Army to fight in Vietnam?... that cost him to lose the crown and banned from boxing for a few years? All these people have backbones.... too many spineless people in our society and we wonder why we are how we are today.

I believe the issue wasn't really about a player not taking the vaccine. But his status in the tournament and the implications of his decision not to be vaccinated on the fans yet to receive the jab.

He is world number1 tennis player, and might probably win the tournament if he competes.

Other players were fully vaccinated and if he without vaccination wins the tournament, this send a wrong message to the public that the vaccine is not necessary.

If it was about making sure djoko6 does6 pass across the wrong message, how come he was granted visa in d first place to come and play in d tournament?

Is d vaccine necessary? Does d vaccine prevent infection?

You know you are very good at asking silly questions when it comes to the vaccines and the pandemic?

Why didn't you just look it up maybe if you did you would know that he admitted to lying on his immigration form. So therefore he lied on his visa application and it was issued to him as a result of a lie, that alone is valid grounds to be deported from any country.

On his immigration form he was asked if he had travelled to another countryy within 14 days before wanting to visit Australia he travelled to Spain and lied about it.

That is the answer, read it up and stop asking silly questions if he hadn't lied that he didn't visit Spain he would not have been given the visa.

That was one of the grounds he had his visa cancelled since the English is too big for you let me break it down for you he got his Visa because he lied.

Is his visa being cancelled because according to u he didn't state that he visited Spain or because he isn't vaccinated?

If it was because he didn't state that he visited Spain on his form, why was he kept in a "quarantine hotel"?

Yemi apparently you haven't gotten the memo, don't rely on the mainstream media as a source of credible news.

Australia happens to have one of the most draconian covid rules coupled with about 90% of fully vaccinated adult population, but guess what? the fully vaccinated currently take up more beds in the ICU and hospital admissions.



yemi1504:


As should be in saner climes. They are obviously tired of burying people and how the serious hospitalizations of the unvaccinated is bogging down their healthcare system and leaving others with other ailments without care. Because let us face it, that is what is happening. Someone needs hospitalization in an hospital bed but that bed is filled by a Covid-19 patient who is a Covidiot and has refused to be vaccinated, is that not an inefficiency in the system we should not be seeing in saner climes but rather 3rd world countries? I rest my case.

There are two processes for getting a visa to Australia, the first one is automated and easily grants a visa that is the online form when you meet the border officials which is the physical part of the process they found out that he didn't meet the necessary requirements that he filed online.

They are two different issues, the government chose to focus on the fact that he didn't meet the necessary requirements to come to Australia and the Spain issue had to do with his visa application form, which was filed incorrectly another different reason from the vaccination issue that can also be a valid ground for deportation

The people I blame for this is Tennis Australia who made him actually believe that he could come to Australia with a medical exemption to play.I wouldn't blame the online process that saw him worthy of being granted a visa because na wet in dem program them to do be that.it seems that in Australia you can pass the online visa application process and border officials can still send you home if you don't meet the necessary requirements you earlier filed

At what ratio?

Indeed, we shouldn't believe the media but we should believe you.

Australia is highly vaccinated and has over 25 million residents with just 2k plus deaths, whereas Florida with 21 million residents with an abysmal vaccinated population has over 60k deaths from covid but go on we should believe you when you don't know the death and infection rate per capita of various countries and cities.

That alone shows the efficacy of the vaccines since the death rate is low

It is silly that is why I just wanted to help you see how silly your questions are.

Why should I be hurt by an ignorant fellow who will not be going to Australia if he doesn't comply by the rules,don't worry if you go to Australia you can ask border officials this yeye question.

If it was because of that, it would be stated. The government said his visa was canceled because he might cause Civil unrest. Which means having an unvaccinated person in their country might make the citizens to start asking questions. It's rubbish. The immigration have checked all what you wrote here before giving a visa, he was given an exemption and he was not the only one. There are few tennis players that were given exemption as long as djokovic but they were deported the moment djokovic arrival caused uproar, did they lie also? . There's nothing like lying in his application. He followed the rules.

They painted the guy as if it was his fault the government gave a strict lockdown rule or he was the one that started covid. He didn't even say nobody shouldn't take the vaccine. He just stood for himself. If there is nothing like exemption, he will be enjoying his holiday. Man just wants to defend his title, not to be a political pawn

So who is lying? Hope you know that Australia has two routes you follow for a visa application? apart from his unvaccinated state border officials says he didn't meet up to every requirement he claimed to follow when he answered their questions online.You can pass the application online but can still be booted out by border officials

Anyway, the judges will release their written statements in full in the coming days so we will see

When you go to Australia you follow their rules, the Tennis Association was at fault, he wasn't supposed to get a medical exemption and Australia requires vaccination before entry if only he had followed the rules he won't have embarrassed himself and been seen as arrogant.

If he doesn't get vaccinated soon same fate awaits him in the French open where Macron did not come to play with the unvaccinated

My point is, there's nothing like "lies" in the government's submission to the court. It was only "public interest". Personally, I knew that he won't win the government. Winning the first case is enough slap for them and lose the second one? They will find a way. If you watched the trial, both the government and djokovic's didn't say anything about lying or something. That was not the issue and was never the issue. The issue of lies came by when he was at an event in December which he was positive. Media used that to push the narrative he lied in his application to come into the country (you have to be isolated for 14 days before flying) which was not true. One of the government lawyers argued that "he may become an icon of free choice". It's not about any lie. It's about standing for your right in a country that lacks it.

He was not the only one granted an exemption. The exemption is not a tennis law but from the government itself. There are some players granted an exemption and has even started training but since the arrival of djoko, they were deported.

And about France, they are still on the matter. The players are just there to play tennis not to live there or build a house. Play tennis and go. I'm sure it would be resolved especially after the way djokovic was treated in Australia
