According to Chris Smith, Australia is the laughing stock of the world! All thanks to SCOTTY FROM MARKETING. According to effing Chris Smith!! You've gotta be kidding me. Honestly Matte you're hardly going to be seen as credible when you bring up dickheads like Chris Smith as someone we should listen to. Remember this is the same Chris Smith who has had massive alcohol and mental health problems. Who has exposed himself to many female colleagues at different workplaces and indecently assaulted one. Who forged signatures of a Nine corporate lawyer to have a prisoner released from Malawa Detention Centre for an interview. But you think he is a credible authority on everything. Figures.

Only 58% of Serbians are vaccinated. If Djokovic finally got vaccinated in order to come to Australia next year ... imagine what an asset that would be! To have such a high profile anti-vaxxer getting vaccinated. It would perhaps make a difference in Serbia, they love him they idolize him.

What a total cock up by this government. Typical of your anti govt one liners these days. Djokovic has only himself to blame. - The Irish Times Djokovic - a master on the court keeps making errors off it. Individual vs community Science vs quackery Djokovic has done potentially irreparable harm to his reputation. - The New York Times Opinion: Novak Djokovic can’t play the Australian Open, and he has no one but himself to blame Unlike 97 percent of his peers on the men’s tennis tour, Djokovic refuses to be vaccinated because he is in thrall to wacky New Age ideas about health. But he tried to game the system so that he could play the Australian Open anyway. He claimed to be eligible for an exemption from the vaccination requirement to enter Australia because he had tested positive for the coronavirus on Dec. 16. How convenient. Was he planning to skip the Australian Open if he didn’t catch a potentially deadly disease the month before? Djokovic has been deported from Australia — and, however much he might wail and rage, he has no one but himself to blame. The Washington Post And so on and so on.

The latest news is he is going to sue the Australian gov. for loss of income.

He must love wasting money then! Rules are rules and he has to abide by them - no matter how great he thinks he is. He has no automatic right to come here and make money. He'd be well advised to put this down to experience. Anyway, the rest of the world is applauding the Australian govt. When the BBC shared the news on Facebook, the majority of commenters were also very supportive of the Morrison Government. "Glad they stood their ground, in the end of the day Novak is just another human who should obey the rules,” one person wrote. Others agreed, writing: “Well done Australia for doing the right thing. You proved once again that you don’t pander to those who try to cheat and lie. “They’ve done the right thing by their citizens, who have had to live under restrictions (like many of us) for some time now. So someone blatantly lying to avoid the rules isn’t OK. He should’ve done the decent things and gone home days ago.” On a Guardian story, the most-liked comments were all pro-Australia. “Best result, he used his celebrity status to flout the laws ordinary people have to abide by. Well done Australia and hope he is banned for three years to returning as most people are,” one person wrote. “Thumbs-up to the Australian rule of law! Respect first to the people, before you go to hit the ball in their country,” another wrote. Responding to an NBC News story headlined “Game, Set Match: Djokovic leaves Australia after court ruling to deport him”, readers were full of praise for Australia’s hard line response. UK sports journalist Chris Jones tweeted: “Novak Djokovic has a support group to ensure he can concentrate on tennis. What they cannot do is protect him from himself. No player is bigger than the sport - something @australianopen chief Craig Tiley doesn’t recognise.” www.news.com.au/sport/tennis/australian-open/hammered-at-home-admired-abroad-djokovic-lie-australia-cant-swallow/news-story/64a1af6de83ef65f146412008576d523#:~:text=%E2%80%9CTheir%20country%2C%20their,mass%20harm.%20Anti%2D

There is no such thing as “seeking asylum” in Australian law. Under section 15 of the Migration Act, it is illegal for unauthorised people to enter Australia by any means, regardless of motive.

Tell that to the Sri Lankan family who has cost Australians many, many Millions. Yes, ASRC and other such fools have encouraged such people to resist clear findings. Like Novak, the family are free to leave Australia at any time.

Seeking asylum in Australia is not illegal. In fact, it is a basic human right. Australia has an international commitment to protect the human rights of all asylum seekers and refugees who arrive in Australia, whether they arrive by plane or by boat, and regardless of whether they arrive with a visa or not.
Rather than spending millions of locking people up for no crime let them into the community to work until their claims have been proved.
Then its easy to see how you people would prefer to live under a authoritarian fascist government....you get your rocks of having no empathy for others.

Only 58% of Serbians are vaccinated. Well Serbia has some explaining to do. Djokovic said that after testing positive for COVID-19 in Serbia last month, he participated in a photo shoot and interview. He acknowledged that his failure to isolate was an "error of judgement." An "error of judgement" that was conveniently overlooked by the Serbian officials. In fact, it's these "errors of judgement" by the Serbs (and Djokovic) that have seen a huge death count in Serbia considering their small population. Serbia: Deaths - 13,098 Population - 9,085,570 Australia: Deaths - 2,699 Population - 25,969,543 Our record stands as testament to our observance of the health rules and regulations. Serbia should just STFU!

Well as expected, Djokovic returned to a hero's welcome from those anti-vax Serbs.
"I think he made history, as a hero, as a man, as a fighter against this evil that is called corona circus," another supporter, Marko Strugolovic, said.
But Djokovic's covid vaccine status could cause him more headaches in the future.
A spokesperson for France's Ministry of Sport has warned there would be no exemption for unvaccinated players at the upcoming French Open in May.
The country recently introduced covid passes requiring individuals to receive two vaccination doses before they can enter many venues, including Roland Garros.
"The rule is simple. The vaccine pass will be imposed, as soon as the law is promulgated, in establishments that were already subject to the health pass," the ministry said in a statement.
Now let's see how Djokovic tries to get around this. As Boris Becker already predicted - “On this occasion I think he is making a big mistake in not getting vaccinated. It is one that threatens what remains of his career and his chance to cement himself as the greatest player of all time."

It's only a game of tennis... entertainment value and not really a life or death scenario.
20 years from now or less, no one will care... 99% don't care already.

Meanwhile, all the other brilliant (and nice!) players are being overshadowed by this gronk! I wish the media would shut up about it now.

Also, despite Hanson-Youngism, the Refugee Convention doesn’t actually say what our friends to the Left say that it does. Much like the Magna Carta and democracy…

I support their deportation. Uncontrolled breeding is a blight on humanity. Stay in your own country or be locked up. That's my motto.

Again, the Refugee Convention doesn’t say what you and the ASRC pretend it does. UN conventions do not override domestic law, that’s why they are conventions and why most countries ratify them with official Reservations - for example the provisions of the UN convention on discrimination against women involving abortion do not apply to Catholic and Islamic countries that have ratified it as they filed reservations with their instruments of ratification.

He has had 2 bouts of covid and survived He is already immune.
My husband said he is worth 400 Mil (I don't know if that is true) and assuming it is... I am sure he has enough money to last several life times. Why should he or anyone care he is already a GOAT, (GREATEST OF ALL TIME) it's just crazy vanity and means little).

Under the UN Refugee Convention, which Australia has signed, ‘unlawful non-citizens’ have the right to seek asylum in Australia.
And why they can and why Australia just doesn't deport them as they would for ‘unlawful non-citizens’ who does not claim asylum, such as someone arriving with a tourist visa with the intent on working, or someone with a criminal history or acting in a criminal way such as importing drugs.
Whether coming by boat or plane people have the right to claim asylum and due process to see if they are genuine refugees...a process the people locked up for 9 years have gone through and proven to be genuine refo's....which is the basis of the argument, why keep these people locked up for a political agenda indefinitely that appeases the RW proto fascist like you Natalie, Stellar and Cascur...its perverse, evil minded and wrong.
