Novak Djokovic: Australia’s government has denied giving the tennis star any medical exemption for entry into the country. symeonbrown reports

In just a few hours time Novak Djokovic faces the latest round in his Australian campaign, not a date at the Rod Laver Arena, but an immigration appeal hearing at Australia’s Federal Court.

The Serb is appealing a decision by the Australian Government to deport him. His lawyers argue that World’s Number One had a vaccine exemption, because he had been infected with Covid in December. But his argument was rejected by Government lawyers, who lost a bid to delay the hearing.

symeonbrown Shame you all give this amount of coverage of Australia's treatment of a tennis player but nothing on Australia's treatment of the Aboriginal people!

symeonbrown Is this nominative determinism gone mad.. No Vac Djokovic?

symeonbrown No Coronavirus vaccination, no entry to Australia for foreign nationals, that’s the law, it doesn’t matter if your a household name or an unknown bricklayer. Visitors, get vaccinated or stay away, your not welcome.

symeonbrown serves that doc right had he married indian woman that baby would still be alive today serves him right for going to cheap white woman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

symeonbrown the truth is louise woodward has no emotion especially since the baby is non british haha she has cold emotion brought up by her cold british mom who slaps her in childhood who is going to trust an english teenager not me 😂😂😂

symeonbrown Oh dear deary me.

symeonbrown This is such an irrelevant story. Why is it getting such a lot of publicity?

symeonbrown Enough already. He just needs to feck off & forget about it. Until he got Covid,he must've thought he wasn't going to be able to play in it,anyway. He got Covid at just the right time to give him a window of opportunity,but now it's closed again. C'est La Vie. Move on, Novax.

Absolute bollocks Yawn. I am not a huge Novak fan, but the Aussie govt and tennis Australia have been ridiculous. What a police state! I wonder why he didn’t just tell them to shove it and leave.

Novak Djokovic not told 'so-called medical exemption' would be accepted - government court documents claimThe Australian government did not tell Novak Djokovic that his 'so-called medical exemption' would allow him to enter the country to compete in the Australian Open, court documents claim. The reality is he should have not entered Australia. How many people could he have affected back home and in Australia . Just because he is a top class tennis player doesn't give him more rights than the general public. CoruscaKhaya We support him, you can't be forced.
