I think he will be busy getting the teflon coating on, as all politicians worth their weight do.

Perhaps the judiciary have our backs after all?

The Government had to apply the same call on him as everyone else, if the court overturns it, well that works the Government saves face and the let it rip gets a leg up, win/win.
The biggest controlled retreat since Dunkirk. ?

There's still a possibility that he may yet be deported. Now Alex Hawke, is considering exercising his power, as immigration minister, to cancel Novak's visa.

Yes W.A has successfully kept the virus out, but with that it has created its own problems, a lot of people have been reluctant to get vaccinated due to the perception it isn't required.

So now if the borders are opened it will be a very unpopular move, I mean very, very unpopular as most West Australians would prefer to just keep the borders closed.
So it looks like we are getting ready, after 2 years of bliss.

He should have waited for written confirmation that his excuse was acceptable to the government, otherwise its on his head what happens.

I cannot claim to be versed in all the relevant facts, but was led to believe that, government endorsed guidance, to the effect that he would be entitled to an exemption, on the grounds of having been infected with covid19 within the previous 6 months, had been published.

If so, then I fail to see how his complaint could be deemed unreasonable.

All the people who have had covid in the past few weeks across Australia - is that grounds for not getting boosters or second or even first shots now?

That's what I am loving about this situation!

It has cast an international spotlight on the disengenuousness of Australia's response to covid19.

In fairness every country has cocked up. But I agree we are truly a global embarrassment after today - no matter what happens or happened. It's pathetic that Scomo and his dog? ministers still don't know what they are doing regarding Djokovic. Probably waiting on Murdoch to tell them what to do.

Immigration Minister Alex Hawke is still considering whether to cancel Novak Djokovic's visa​

A spokesperson for the Immigration Minister, Alex Hawke, says he is still weighing up his decision on the Serbian tennis star.

"Following today’s Federal Circuit and Family Court determination on a procedural ground, it remains within Immigration Minister Hawke’s discretion to consider cancelling Mr Djokovic’s visa under his personal power of cancellation within section 133C(3) of the Migration Act," the spokesperson said.

"The Minister is currently considering the matter and the process remains ongoing."

Why the hell they decided to die on this hill in front of the whole world is beyond me.
Covid is already here. The vaccinated here are spreading omicron just fine.
The stupidity of all this is just next level.

It also shows that scomo is only
"Mr Freedom" when it suits him. Otherwise laws don't seem to apply to him or the many many dckhead journalists calling for scalps.

Politics, the vast majority of the sheep want to see hard borders as they are convinced they will die if they get covid, so the Djokovic incident shows them that the government still has their back.
They will have run the numbers, with an election around the corner, my MIL was cheering them on pitchfork in hand, I just roll my eyes. Lol
The media are missing the mark, they have been damning the unvaccinated, now they are cheering on an unvaccinated person, talk about losing focus. Lol
