John Lambies Doos Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 He really does think rules don't matter to him. It just proves that if you are rich, white and male you can do what you want.. Please don't jump on the snowflake bandwagon, that statement is a load of shite.Only relevant word is 'rich'. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The transcript of the interview is damning for the colonists. They were clearly trying to trick ND into agreeing to cancel his visa while denying him any communications or legal advice. Throwing him into detention also seems to have been a gamble that he would instead just leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you greeting about? He won the court case because he followed all their idiotic rules and the Australian government couldn't go four hours without breaking the law.

Hammerafc Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Looks like they haven't said they didn't have grounds to cancel it but due process wasn't followed as he wasn't given the required amount of time to respond.They may still pull the plug on him tomorrow but either way this has been extremely messy.The AO will hope he plays, viewing numbers will be through the roof. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite why they thought a global superstar and national icon would go down quite so easily as all the penniless Burmese they ship off to prison islands every year is a mystery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The worst thing is we don’t even have an answer today. Should be decided tomorrow. Alex Hawke released a statement saying they are considering cancelling his visa still. A further delay means less days for Djokovic to appeal be cleared in time for Monday or Tuesday. As he’s champion he would normally headline the Monday night with Womens champion headlining the Tuesday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hopefully they let him in and he catches OzCovid and misses the tourney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They agreed to let him wait till 8.30 am to phone Tennis Australia when someone was awake, then cancelled his visa at 7.30. The Government conceded the case rather than the Judge deciding in their favour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Apparently it was Djokovic's Dad telling the hacks that he'd been arrested, who didn't bother checking. https://thepavlovictoday.com/an-australian-national-sport-is-to-hate-novak-djokovics-father-shares-in-the-pavlovic-today-exclusive-interview/ P.S. Press conference with Djokovic and family at noon. Edited January 10, 2022 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) So if they'd done it fairly and held him for another hour or so at the airport, would anything have changed had they got his lawyers or TA on the phone?

His brother sounds a bit more sane, wisely praising Australian justice while the immigration minister still has the power to deport him. P.S. Quote When the family is asked questions about what Djokovic was doing the day after he tested positive for Covid, they stopped the press conference. Djordje said: “This press conference is adjourned thank you for attention.” Edited January 10, 2022 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 What an absolute embarrassment for the Australian authorities. Doesn't change my view that Novak is an absolute c**t but there we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Fife Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 My friend in Oz tells me that you have to be fully vaccinated in order to attend the Open as a spectator. All about the money. Absolute clusterfuck and Djokovic is a selfish c**t. Hope he gets boo'd to f**k and punted early doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It's a massive, deeply embarrassing 'L' chalked up by this cretinous racist state in front of the watching world, which is fine by me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
