Outrage Anti Vaxxer Novak Djokovic, Australia has Cancelled his Visa
[Expected to arrive in Melbourne on Wednesday night]
[Novak Djokovic will be "on the next plane home" if he is unable to provide "acceptable proof" for a COVID vaccination exemption to play at the Australian Open, the country's prime minister has warned. Australians have called the decision to give the tennis star a medical exemption to enter the country "a slap in the face" after they endured months of harsh lockdowns. The number-one ranked player has repeatedly refused to say whether he has been jabbed against COVID-19, and his participation in the Australian Open was in doubt owing to the country's strict vaccination requirements.] https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-...nated-12509266 [Scott Morrison fires warning shot at Novak Djokovic saying he'll 'be on the next plane HOME' if he doesn't have 'sufficient' evidence for a vaccine medical exemption] https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/01...1368085575.jpg 2021 Australia https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...exemption.html |
i don't think he should be participating when the rules of entry to the country are so strict for everyone else
|
He has been very outspoken about not wanting the vax, if they relax the rules for him its a slippery slope

Is this the new trend now, putting the word anti-vaxxer in front of peoples name?
What's wrong with just Djokovic? Which is what he was known as this time last year. Because Arista never goes to the Mosque he will be now known as "Anti-Islam Arista" |

I find Djokovic entertaining with his outbursts, but a country shouldn't be changing their usual protocols for him. |

If the vaccine doesn't stop you from catching and spreading, which we know it doesn't then what is the issue here with his case? He's equally as likely to catch or spread as a vaccinated tennis player.
Make it make sense because right now it doesn't. |

World number one tennis player Novak Djokovic's entry to Australia has been delayed over an issue with his visa.
The player arrived in Melbourne on Wednesday, where authorities noticed that his team had made a mistake on his application. Djokovic is due to play in the Australian Open, after being exempted from vaccination rules. But his team had not requested a visa that permits medical exemptions for being unvaccinated. All players and staff at the tournament must be vaccinated or have an exemption granted by an expert independent panel. Djokovic arrived in Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport on Wednesday and is awaiting a decision. He has not spoken about his vaccination status, but last year he said he was "opposed to vaccination". The country's border force had sought clarification from the Victorian state government about his visa application, the Melbourne-based Age newspaper reports. But state government Minister Jaala Pulford tweeted that his application would not be supported. Visa approvals were a matter for the federal government, she added. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-59884038 |
Yes Ch4HDnews
just stated, he is held in an Immigration room. The Prime Minister awaits his proof. Or he could be sent home. One lady said if he plays she will not watch it. |
Someone should do a cancel wish game...seems everyones being cancelled these days.
|
Outrage at Djokovic is misplaced imo, should really be directed at Australia's hyper-restrictive border controls. Why shouldn't he be able to enter and compete if he can provide negative tests?

It stops you getting ill and going to hosp but he would go private so what is the worry? |

Novak Djokovic: Australia cancels top tennis player's visa

Like it or not vaccine hesitancy is quite prolific in many parts of the world, if you're hosting one of only four majors then you can't exclude a big chunk of the global population from participating
Letting him get to Melbourne and then cancelling the visa is a total farce as well |
Australia need new balls
Please |

But you don't want anyone to "make it make sense" because you've asked the same question, and been given the same answer, multiple times before, and have ignored it each time. |

However for that to happen, Australia would have to go more lenient on it's own civilians for being unvaccinated going forward, which it's clear that the Australian Government doesn't want to relinquish it's power that it's currently got over it's people. |

He is now in a Holding Hotel.
Trying to claim he has a Legit reason for not having the Vaccine? His reason so far, does not count. People in Australia have been Fined for not being vaxxed. |

He should have got the Vaccines |
He will have to stay in the Holding Hotel
until Monday. On Monday, his case will go to court. |

'The world has been suffering enough. Get vaccinated. If he wanted, he would playing here in Australia without problems,' the world number six said. 'I went through COVID. I have been vaccinated twice. If you do this, you don't have any problem to play here. That's the only clear thing. 'The rest of the things, I don't want to have or to give to you an opinion that I don't have the whole information. 'The only for me clear thing is if you are vaccinated, you can play in the Australian Open and everywhere, and the world in my opinion has been suffering enough to not follow the rules.' |
mobilising the lawyers just reinforces the view that he is a self entitled arse hole. Ultimately, australia has the sovereign right to refuse anyone entry to their country on whatever grounds they feel like
