JohnS Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Currently, we are all still awaiting a final decision by Australian Immigration Minister, Alex Hawke MP in regards to Novak Djokovic's VISA application to enter Australia this month. If you aren't aware, the Immigration Minister has the power within Australian law to rescind a VISA application. The reasons can be based on character grounds or whether it is in the National Interest to do so. Further information on the laws governing the Minister's impending decision can be found at the link below: https://humanrights.gov.au/our-work/2-when-can-visa-be-refused-or-cancelled-under-section-501 Interestingly, Paul Bongiorno, a long-time Australian journalist for Australian TV Networks and Newspapers wrote the following on his twitter account late last night (around midnight AUS time)... I am hearing @AlexHawkeMP will boot out the Joker tomorrow. When it comes to media sources in this country, my experience has been that 'where there is smoke, there is often fire'. The problem with all this is the issue that @Fuzz brought up earlier in this thread. If Novak Djokovic is refused a VISA then he will not be allowed into Australia for the next three years under the law, as it currently stands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all equally despised if i was permitted to post, i would agree with you completely. i would also point out that Novak has been kicked out again and under the law, not allowed another visa for three years (there are exceptions and no doubt he will appeal). but as i am not permitted to post here, i'll say nothing.

MrBirdman Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I mean if ND can use some kind of Jedi mind-trick to purify sewage into drinking water, surely he can influence a judge to rule in his favor? Here he is about to heal his brain merely with the touch of his own hand. And you can't argue with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
