Novak Djokovic

Good decision?

What evidence have you seen to determine that?

No evidence has been supplied, that is the issue.

From various news reports I've seen, ND supplied information to a board that is self admittedly not an investigation body. Taking this information on face value, a visa was granted.

When he presented at immigration in Melbourne airport arrivals, the information given was scrutinised and no proof could be produced as to the truth of the information for what ever reason.

As the information used to obtain the visa couldn't be verified the visa was cancelled.

This process is the same for countries all over the world. Visas are issued and when questioned on arrival the visa can be cancelled.

The onus in not on the immigration services/ Boarder security to disprove information, the onus is on the traveler to prove their claims.

I have exactly zero sympathy for arseholes like him, regardless of their sport, be it tennis, cricket, football, soccer or fucking sailing.

He may be an arsehole, but we (Australia) gave him the soapbox to cry from.

Dan & Scomo both fucked up by not giving the even a blanket exemption in the first place and then by allowing him to get a medical exemption visa and cancelling it on arrival.

The rate of legitimate medical exemption is 1 to 5 in 100,000. These clowns that comprise the medical blind assessment board have given out 6 exemptions to Australian Open competitors. Men’s and women’s draws have 128 qualifying draw, 128 main draw with some overlap for doubles specialists etc.

The optics are egregious, and as for Douchevic, karma’s a bitch.

Should Novak Djokovic have been granted an exemption to compete in the Australian Open?





 

Yes, if he meets all the criteria for one it's only fair
16 %






 

Yes, the world No. 1 should get special treatment
2 %






 

No, it's simple - no vaccination, no play
60 %






 

No, and we should boo him throughout the entire grand slam
22 %

Is a common theme with anti-vaxxers: They think the rules don't apply to them.

So Dan controls national borders now?

I bet parrot head is pissed!

Second guessing the health experts hasn't seemed to be that successful recently.

Of course, a visa issue is not a health issue......

The serb/croat fights at the tennis are definitely more entertaining than the actual tennis.

The evidence that has not been made public?

Have you actually read any of the statements that the Health Minister, the PM & the Home Affairs Ministers have made?

Obviously not.

From the PM - here's a link to recent ABC News article with PM presser video embedded within. - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-06/serbian-president-will-fight-for-novak-djokovic/100740932

Dan, Anna & Gladys on plenty times over the past 2 years have arranged border exemptions for movie stars, singers, sports people and so on. 

Idiot

You believe them?

With no corroborating evidence?

FFS.

Arranged is not the same as granted.

You really have no fucking idea who is responsible for what, do you?

What evidence do you want Ease? The actual Visa application? You got absolutely no chance of seeing that, and for good reason. Have you heard of the Privacy Act?

Would you be calling for this evidence if Albo was PM? No don't bother answering that as we all know your answer.

Fucking settle down.

It's not like Scomo has a history of lying.

Desperate to argue aren't you.

States arrange and Feds grant. Very simple. 

If Dan wanted to arrange a blanket exemption for the Aus Open, there is no way the Feds would have said no.
