What about when he lied on the visa document - sorry, his agent lied? What about his applying for the medical exemption after the deadline? And applying for a medical exemption with a reason that doesn’t exist?I have questions about why he didn’t isolate in serbia and conducted that interview. I have questions about whether he violated anything in spain but these matters have 0 to do with the visa situation
So. he is told by Australian authorities he can enter (state government and tennis australia), he enters and federal government cancels his visa. A court later overturns the visa cancellation showing there are question marks as to how border agents cancelled his visa. So a court of law sided with him. Then, some dude, who has ‘god like’ powers cancels again, citing it’s for greater good. Then, he now faces 3 year ban.
What about you kieran, do you not blame tennis austrlia, state government for being in violation of federal government guidelines? Do you not blame federal government for mishandling the situation given even a court of law thought they did?. Do you think it’s fair for australia to mess so many things up and then only because a judge sided with djokovic, now alex haike’s god like personal powers threaten to ban djokovic for 3 years?
i’m sorry but every single one of you who think these Australia authorities aren’t at fault of creating this and probably more so than djokovic, you are not geniune, it’s very hard not to seen how they have done so many wrongs here. They trick him into coming, then cancel visa, court of law sides with him and then some dude, using personal powers goes against the courts and threatens him for more severe punishment. It’s inexplicable and incomprehensible, shocking. All of you here trying to pin this all on djokovic, it’s just roo disengenous.. it’s because you guys don’t like him and this is amazing to see for you all, ban him from his favourite slam so his hopes at 22 dwindle. It’s really just too obvious given the incredulous incompetence and mess ups from government..
I definitely agree with you if you that there are mixed signals in Australian side. But I’m big on personal responsibility. He could summon a cluster of lawyers at the snap of his fingers last week, but couldn’t get someone to check out all the potential pitfalls in trying to enter? Nobody to check the federal government rules? Sorry, I don’t excuse him on this. Especially given that he knew he’d face so much scrutiny?
By the way, the court of law thought that there was a technical issue at the border, not that the government had mishandled anything.
I defend wholeheartedly his right to refuse the vaccine, and his view that he didn’t need one for his personal health. Totally defend him on that - but he was trying to enter a country with rules that suggest he must be vaccinated, and so in that case, something had to give…
