treatise:


Arrogance in any form is bad: he organized a Fiesta amidst horrible Covid19 crisis; travelled to Australia that's so strict about Covid19 guidelines without vaccination just because he was a tennis superstar. Nonsense!

WHITELIGHTER:
The Aussie govt shot itself on the foot with the exemption law...that gave Djokovic a chance to circumvent the Vaccine law...but I must say He isn't a role model and a blatant liar

shopwiser:
Taking the vaccine shouldn't be by force..if they wanna deport him...the should do as they wish... rubbish

mfm04622:


Did anybody ask him to be vaccinated? No!

ogascomax:
Some of you are just busy talking trash of him breaking the law and nobody is above the law while you failed to ask yourself if the law was fair and just. When it comes to your health, one should not make law for you because it is your health. Studies have shown that the vaccinated are more been hospitalized. You can't force people against their wish and call it a law. Where is now the right to freedom. All kinds of human rights taught are all but a scam.

This is a blatant lie.
Quote the study please.

Where things stands....


NOW: Judges in Australia have dismissed Novak Djokovic's appeal against the cancellation of his visa.Djokovic is scheduled to play Monday night in the Australian Open, although it's unclear whether he will be able to compete.

Australia's immigration minister revoked the unvaccinated tennis star's visa for a second time Friday, saying his presence in the country could lead to an "increase in anti-vaccination sentiment" and even incite "civil unrest."Djokovic arrived in Melbourne nearly two weeks ago and promptly had his visa canceled for failing to show why he was medically exempt from having the Covid-19 vaccine.


A quick look back at how we got here

The federal court is currently on a 30-minute break as both parties decide whether further court orders are necessary following the dismissal of Djokovic's challenge to his visa cancelation. Here's how this whole saga unfolded:

In November, Djokovic began preparations for the Australian Open, including receiving his Australian entry visa.Dec. 16: The player takes a PCR test which comes back positive later that day — but he later said in a statement he didn't receive the notification until.

Dec. 17, when he had already attended a tennis event.

Dec. 22: He tests negative for the virus.

Dec. 30: He receives a medical exemption from Tennis Australia allowing him to enter Australia without Covid vaccination or quarantine, on the grounds that he has just recovered from Covid.

Jan. 1-2: Djokovic is notified by the Australian government that he is cleared for quarantine-free arrival, and he receives a Border Travel Permit by the state government of Victoria, where Melbourne is located.

Jan. 5: He arrives in Melbourne just before midnight. As the hours cross into early morning the next day, his visa is canceled and he is placed into detention.

Jan. 10: At his visa hearing, the judge quashes the visa cancelation and orders Djokovic to be released.

Jan. 14: Immigration Minister Alex Hawke invokes his personal power to cancel Djokovic's visa a second time.

Jan. 15: Djokovic is placed back into detention as a preliminary hearing commences.

Jan. 16: The judge dismisses Djokovic's appeal, leaving his participation in the tournament in serious doubt.

Can he still appeal?

Legal options: Djokovic can still seek leave to appeal to Australia's top court, although time is running out for him to do so before the tournament begins, according to Abul Rizvi, a former deputy secretary with the immigration department.
"He may appeal for symbolic reasons but little else," said Rizvi, who added Djokovic would remain in detention until he departs.

Another visa: There's also the possibility Djokovic could get a bridging visa, which could allow him to play in the tournament while making arrangements to leave Australia, according to Maria Jockel, an immigration law specialist at BDO Australia.

If you don't want to take vaccine, then don't travel to Australia. The Australians aren't forcing you to take the vaccine, just don't go to their country with your unvaccinated ass. This is very simple.

Indeed.

There are all sorts of vaccination requirements for various diseases in all sorts of countries that are mandatory. It is nothing new.
What may be innocuous to certain races, nationals and cultures may be a huge challenge to others and where your liberties will end is where their protection starts.

These are democracies and the peoples, the citizens have decided through their leaders that they want protection.
Why should a single individual think he can have his selfish way.
It is a slap on millions of Aussies.

He cannot claim he knows better than them or feels what they have gone through these past couple of years with this terrible plague.
Very insensitive of him.
He should not have bothered to travel.

Yes, there are and Mr. Novak could have pulled out on medical grounds.
Tennis players do so frequently.
