This had better be a poll, or you have to ask what was wrong with the other Noxaxx thread.

It is anti vaxxers like the tennis player that have made it political. What do you want the Government to do ? Swoon like the journalists and ask for autographs ?

IF he gets to play it will be a must watch. I think it will reach a level of boos that would have GP walking out the door. Well I hope so anyway
Australia seems to have a monopoly on fecking up in major sporting decisions at the moment. First F1 and now this

Not seen such Bravery!
It is not possible to come out of this worse than Novax.
He was reported as wandering around without a mask infecting people after testing positive.

Great PR for the Aussie government. They have a reputation for being very firm and decisive when it comes to border controls, and this fits that narrative. They are a sovereign country and can decide who is allowed in.
Has he made it political?
I dont agree with his vax stance, but he got all the clearance needed/he was told and it was Australia (after having open borders to celebs) then arrested him took him to court and after 30 mins into it withdrew tha case

If Fromage is on No-vax side, i'm with the Aussies, especially when he campaigned for the UK to adopt Australia's harsh immigration policies

Sorry, but this isn't really the truth of it at all.
He got the 'clearance he needed' based on his own unsubstantiated answers to the pre-arrival process. He was then bound to back up those answers on arrival in Australia, and could not do so (to the satisfaction of the border control staff).
the judgement this morning is seemingly one based on judicial process (he has questioned while tired, and without legal representation) rather than on his actual right to enter the country. Thus the minister concerned can still revoke the visa if he chooses. Difficult situation for them now though, obviously.

What on earth is that bellend doing over there anyway? Did he see the news and think "Oh they'll be needing my keen mind on this kerfuffle" ?
He's a f**king ambulance chaser.

Agree, I find his appearance at the Djokovic home utterly bizarre! And what numpty invited the vampire in? All it proves again is his utter devotion to self promotion. Again, bizarre.
Draw.
Djokovic comes out of it with a damaged reputation: The "Novax" nickname will stick, the emergence of clear evidence that he's ignored isolation requirements, etc.
Australian officials come out of it looking not-so-great as well. Badly handled all around - Visa should never have been granted in the first place. Clear indications that the requirements to get a Visa for the tournament were not clear enough (now 3 cases of Visa's granted where they were applied for on grounds that weren't valid, all for the same reason: that the exemptions being granted via Tennis Australia / Victorian government clearly weren't being clearly communicated as not being valid for the Visa).
