Meaning including his $$$$ lawyer?! Wow, that's not going to go down well politically, huh? No, I was responding to Numbers on the issue of his being held in detention. I would think that would be a lawsuit, though that would seem dumb. But it's never stopped him from taking a decision before.
That's a pure mockery of their mandate restrictions. Is that courtesy being extended to other tennis players or civilian who have appeal their visa denials?

From Serbian portal: "Djokovic's arrests? The brother confirmed: Novak is now with lawyers"
But:

Christopher Johnson (The Globalite)
@globaliteman


The Honourable Judge Kelly explicitly warned Mr. Tran (lawyer for Home Affairs) that if another minister uses "personal power" to act against #Djokovic, they must inform Judge Kelly in advance. (Thus a secret raid on
@DjokerNole
would be in contempt of court = jail time.)

You will find that the judge also has limits and if there’s good reason to detain Djokovic, or question him further on his papers, that this is what immigration services do…

If the Federal Police arrested Novak? this has come from the government.....I need to investigate more
Maybe the Immigration Minister Alex Hawke decided to exercise his right to re-cancel his visa
This is worse than a 'Horror Film'.
Just a rumor at present

This is gonna cost you! Djokovic's quite bright! I'm sure he went in there w/ a lot of thought! This'll only end up embarrassing the country & AO! :facepalm:

It’s based on a report in a Serbian newspaper, I don’t think anyone else has independently verified it yet. It maybe fake news designed to put pressure on Australia...

We will see what happens, but I can’t imagine this ending up a Happy Slam for Novak. With players testing positive and the Aussies who have been in lockdown, he definitely won’t be liked that’s for sure.

No Don, not true at all.Reports of his arrest inaccurate according to the AO government and tennis sources.The Immigration Minister is still deciding whether to re-cancel his visa.At present he is with his lawyers.

thnx, fake news then. If I've read correctly he has about 4 hours to decide. That is about 1-2 hours more I guess.

Honestly, I think for the Government to save face they would have to cancel his visa and double down on anyone visiting. The judge opened up the case for appeals for anyone with similar exemption/visa issues to now come forward.

They could always be drafting up a set of guidelines he has to adhere to strictly if he wants to stay in their country.
