Typical of his career - was on the ropes so he pretends to be injured/ill in order to put his opponent off his game and wins in the end.

No different to footballers diving and rolling around with fake injuries to get an opponent sent off.

I've seen these images, are they authentic/genuine? There doesn't seem to be much official word on this, only twitter people...

His own twitter feed has photos of him being honoured with his own postage stamp. These photos were posted on December 17th, the day after he supposedly tested positive for covid. All news reports indicate that the event happened on the 17th.

So as I said before he's either running around maskless and attending events when he should be isolating, very likely putting others at risk, or he's lying about this positive test in the belief it will get around Australian immigration laws. Those aren't the actions of a hero standing up to "the man", they are actions of a selfish, self centred ****. I hope the Aussie's deport him and ban him from the country for 3 years.

Court papers showed that he got his PCR results around 9am on the 16th Dec. That positive result seems to not have affected his behaviour in anyway (no isolation and not a lot more mask wearing).

Still, the Aussie immigration minister needs to see the morning papers before he kicks Novax out it seems.

Its a shame Djokovic didn't just get his bloody jabs.

Then your post would be rendered completely irrelevant.

Indeed. He's known for a long time now (I remember it coming up months ago) that not having the vaccine would pose problems for being granted entry to compete in the Australian Open. I don't think I've yet seen a good reason (that's not based on bollocks anti-vax propaganda) from him as to why he's not had the vaccine.

He didn't have the vaccine in the past 6-months because he conveniently 'tested' positive for Covid in December.

Not sure if you're defending him, or being sarcastic. I hope it's the latter. The rules for entry to Australian have been known to him and his helpers for a lot longer than that Dec +ve covid result, and the Aussie rules don't allow for a +ve result to replace the vaccine mandate: his choice for entry to Australia was binary - either get vaccinated, or commit to isolation on arrival. Instead, he chose to (either deliberately or through misunderstanding - either way it doesn't matter) try to circumvent the rules by relying on state/sport exemptions to over-rule a Federal requirement.

If the federal authorities hadn't made a pigs breakfast of revoking the Visa, he'd be on a flight home right now.

Oh no, not defending him.

Either:

1. He never planned to go to Australia, genuinely tested positive in December, than pranced around taking the piss, spreading it to all and sundry; or
2. He always planned to go to Australia, through a cunning plan of conveniently 'officially' testing positive in December, and then taking everyone for fools / taking the piss.

My money is on the later.

Either way, ****.

the minister for home affairs and the minister for immigration are know playing table hockey with the matter......some legal eagles have said the authorities had 4 hrs after Novax's release to enforce deportation proceedings which has now lapsed so as it stands he will go into the draw for the open.

the live stream of his court case was hacked as well with house music and pornography being beamed around the world in place of court proceedings .....quality...:lol:

I’m just hoping he continues to spend lots of his money on taking them on and finally loses and gets kicked out. Arrogant and rich - a disgusting combination.

From what I've seen the Judge has said emphatically that Djokovic met all the conditions he was asked of for entry so this really is looking like a purely political play, one which could lead to severe egg on face for the Ozzie border team either way now.

Well, I'm amazed then as i thought it was pretty clear cut in terms of border control: vaccinations or 2 week quarantine and he has done neither, just given approval by a State and the LTA? Deary me, Aussies.
