Re: Novak Djokovic tries to go to Oz
Here's hoping our government can stop any non vaccinated sportsmen entering without a vaccine.

They can do but I don't think we've chosen to.

They could start by insisting professional footballers are vaccinated. Quite a few Premiership prima donnas think they're special. Less cancelled fixtures too.

Re: Novak Djokovic tries to go to Oz
I wonder if those people outraged on here will be the same people who'll be up in arm early April when the NHS start redeploying and/or dismissing unvaccinated staff?

No need to bait him his stance on these matters is well known.

From what I've seen of the appeal overnight, the government seems to have been relying on comments he made in April 2020 as evidence that he stirs up anti-vax sentiment. If that is such a concern, why was he granted a visa in the first place? His opinions on vaccines are well documented and were known before he applied for his visa - it seems a failure of government policy that he was allowed permission to enter the country at all if they believe him to be a risk to the public.
This is purely political gesturing ahead of elections. Australian's in some states are living under some of the strictest restrictions in the world. I fully understand their anger that Djokovic was able to enter the country given the rules they are living under. But make no mistake, this farcical chain of events deflects their anger, wrongly in my opinion, away from the government removing their liberties and onto a tennis player who the government accepts poses litlle risk of transmitting Covid but has chosen not to be vaccinated.
Vaccines have had a tremendous impact on saving lives across the world - especially in the elderly and most vulnerable. But the stigmatising division being sown by governments across the world leaves me feeling very uncomfortable.

Accordingly, lawyers for the Tyranny-led Australian government, is that they felt Novak would be an “icon of free choice”, Australia is truly an awful country.

True, they continually thrash us at cricket. They celebrate the death of English cricket by gifting some Ashes, then claim the gift back all the time . Utter rotters.

Re: Novak Djokovic tries to go to Oz
Looks like he might not make the French open either

Re: Novak Djokovic tries to go to Oz
Long way until the Spring though so we'll see. Elections would have taken place by then as well so every politician will have a bit more breathing space.

Re: Novak Djokovic tries to go to Oz
You're allowed here without a vaccine so long as you isolate for some days and take a test I think.
