He got an exemption to enter Victoria, it was the Feds who stopped him entering Australia. The Federal Government has been a vocal critic of the lockdowns in Victoria so the lockdown history of Victoria is a red herring.

Listen to me!!!
Glad the arrogant **** is being held. Thinks he can just trample over rules because of who he is. He is just a human, nothing special.
I wish our Government was trying as hard to get Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe out of an Iranian jail where she’s held on trumped up charges of espionage as hard as the Serbian government is trying to get Djokovic out of a hotel in Melbourne where he’s being held for being a bell end
If car drivers were at risk of overwhelming our health services, then yes.
On climate change there will soon be an argument for action of some sort on health grounds. There have been a number of NHS studies that show how climate change will lead to far more deaths than anything else if it does not go unchecked.
You mean we shouldn't talk about how an influential 'role model' espouses bizarre thoughts about how positive thinking can make you better? I think we should. If you said it, it would go ignored. However, he has millions of fans hanging on his words. Surely he should be held to account?

Eating some grass after he wins Wimbledon always makes me cringe. Federer has never done that and he's the classiest sportsman we've ever had.

Anyone see his dad just compare him to Jesus Christ? I'm going to hazard a guess he's as crazy as his son.

I quite like that grass eating trick
And there's something about Federer l don't like
That said ,Djok should be thrown out of Australia asap
Seemingly ringing anyone they can find in the Australian Government demanding his release, the President going on TV demanding it as his human rights are being violated (must have stayed at the same Travelodges I have) and hounding the ambassador

Dragging their feet over prosecuting war criminals and treating convicted war criminals as heroes.

Whilst corruptly linked these days with the Serbian mafia.

No other government in the world should take lessons from one condoning genocidal war criminals.
It's food, Jim, but not as we know it.

This should clear up any confusion about it being a political witch hunt against Novax.
"Government sources say Djokovic handed Border Force officials a medical exemption on Tennis Australia letterhead that was signed by the organisation's chief medical officer, but this was rejected.
In November, Health Minister Greg Hunt wrote to Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley warning that players who sought to enter the country would not be granted vaccine exemptions if they had recently contracted COVID-19.
"The Australian Border Force has advised that people must be fully vaccinated, as defined by the ATAGI, to gain quarantine-free entry into Australia," Mr Hunt wrote on November 29.
"I can confirm that people who contracted COVID-19 within the past six months and seek to enter Australia from overseas, and have not received two doses of a Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)-approved or TGA-recognised vaccine (or one dose of the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine), are not considered fully vaccinated".
Essentially Tennis Australia ****ed it up.
