Australia has gone full circle.
Founded by prisoners and has now regressed into a prison.

I'm a little confused that he tested positive by PCR on 16th December, but was happily attending an event/awards do, maskless, shaking hands and breathing on people on the 17th December according to reports? Is reported in multiple news outlets www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jan/08/novak-djokovic-relied-on-december-covid-infection-for-vaccine-exemption-court-documents-revealThe Aussies are doubtless making dicks of themselves, but I don't think Djokos position is helping much either - can imagine him getting booed to feck if he plays given Oz has gone full nuclear lockdown for the commoners (different rules for the rich and celebs mind...sounds familiar...)

Both Djokovic and his advisors and the Aussie government seem to be making it up as they go along….

I have no time for Novak and no sympathy for him either, but the way things have been mishandled by the Australian government, I now hope he gets to play and shows them his middle finger.

I hope he gets to play too, but I imagine the public "trial" will be much worse on the court. He has some balls if he does walk out onto the court and play.

Irrespective of opinions of Djokovic, we should be applauding him for exposing the draconian border rules being enforced on most people
Some disgraceful examples in Australia over the past few months, if it brings change then let's applaud that achievement

He'd have stayed at home otherwise and missed the tournament. The treatment of him by the Australian authorities has been nothing short of disgraceful. Anyone would think he's a criminal, all he's done is taken an informed decision not to have an injection. That shouldn't be a crime. We aren't far off the imprisonment stage now, and still we have people advocating this behaviour (not you, but many).

What is more pressing is that the Australian government would be possibly appearing to overrule their own judiciary. That’s where the focus and commentary should now be, because even if you believe he should be vaccinated, is it worth what is tantamount to fascism?

He comes across as a sociopath to me, he's often criticised as lacking empathy, I doubt a hostile crowd will bother him in the slightest.

We aren't far off the imprisonment stage now, and still we have people advocating this behaviour (not you, but many). Spot on! Clearly he had the necessary documentation and Visa prior to travelling based on what he and his team had been advised was required He has offered to take any Covid test required on arrival We are told draconian measures, lockdowns, border checks etc are to stop the spread of Covid. Based on the above how can Novak be spreading the virus???? Full vaccination does not stop people transmitting the virus What exactly is the reasoning behind Australia's stance on this. Cant believe any person could be celebrating this utter nonsense, what kind of world do you want to be living in???? Read earlier Djokovic donated 25k to victims of the bushfires in Australia a couple of years ago and this is how the government repay him.....

I've said this before, from my experience with air travel during this there is no way he would have even got on the plane without the proper documentation in place. I've seen people turned away from flights for document errors even down to out of date test results by minutes. If his paperwork was not in order, he would never have got out there to be faced with the government theatre going on and I firmly believe that

Whilst I think some of the rules in Australia are way over the top, does anyone else think that it’s a little convenient that he caught covid just before Christmas, thereby allowing him to get a visa exemption? Also he was seen out and about mixing with people after the date he said he got it when he should of been in isolation according to some reports. This was put to him and his family at his press conference this afternoon, and they immediately shut it down without answering. Regardless of Novak's moral victory to remain in Australia, if he knowingly went about maskless knowing he had a positive test then he is just a total cunt and deserves loud abuse at every one of his matches.

The interview transcript between border authorities and Novak has been released, makes for interesting reading.
What it highlights is firstly the massive balls up by authorities and the poor treatment of him at a crazy hour of the morning

The Aussie government have embarrassed themselves. They have a rule that you’re only allowed in if you’re vaccinated, why should he be any different?? He was given the all clear by some immigration/tennis fella/woman, so they’re the ones to blame, he’s just going by the permission he’s been given. He’s against having the vaccine so should not have been given permission in the first place!!!!
