After travelling for 25 hours, Djokovic's lawyers say he was interrogated for six hours at the airport before being allowed to go somewhere to sleep - only to be woken by officials half an hour later and pressured into making a decision on cancelling his visa.
At the start of the interview, just after midnight, an official told him previous infection did not mean he qualified for an exemption.He added:"I explained that I had been recently infected with COVID in December 2021 and on this basis I was entitled to a medical exemption in accordance with Australian government rules and guidance.
His legal team claim the actions of officials were"spurious and mischievous" adding:"It plainly was not, and would never have been, better for Mr Djokovic if a visa cancellation decision were made while he was unrested and without consulting with his representatives." The player's lawyers will get two hours to plead their case after the start of the hearing, but a number of Australian media outlets are already questioning whether some of the court filings back up Djokovic's argument.
Ah bless…what ffs has that got to do with him attempting to illegally entering the country? I respect his choice to not get vaccinated but he should be man enough to respect the rules of other countries rules…even if they think he is Jesus in Serbia!!
Sleep deprived... Next time... DON'T try to enter Auatralia illegally
Serbians have long mastered the art of lying.
