Are you only 3’ tall?
Lying down.
Breathe in.
Too many cookies?
Chocolate mainly.
I can sniff that shit out like a truffle pig.
I cannot wait for his mum’s next statement.
Should be a doozy!!!
Expecting her to quote Thanos…‘He is inevitable.’
Hoping for more amazing stuff on the Farage front myself.
I’m not on Twitter but will undoubtedly boil over.
The show begins again.

Whatever floats your boat
a 3 year ban …
I can’t see that being imposed. Just get him out and ban him from re-entering until next year’s tournament.
I think that’s probably appropriate/proportionate. If that was offered to Djokovic’s legal team, it might even discourage them from making an appeal. Just suck it up Novax.
Oohh
Hearing going on right now. Live streamed.
The decision maybe harsh in some senses but he’s acted like a complete twat in December. Serbia and Spain etc. need to be asking him some questions too I feel.
Will be interesting to see how it pans out.
Sounds like he’ll be in some form of detention, and a hearing takes place on Sunday.
If the PM and Immigration minister between them cannot force Novak’s deportation (which is clearly now only a political issue given he’s covid free) then it’s going to be a huge own goal.
If he was smart, he would have left under his own free will before now being forced.
He could have played the card of being the responsible adult, that he only contested it originally as it’s important for him to play in Australia in future. That he did not want the tournament to be about him.
No different to a player not partaking due to an injury, it would have been easy for him to go. Sorry I would have loved to have played but it’s in everyone’s interest I use this time to prepare for the French open.
Judge Kelly seemingly unimpressed that the point about a media circus should Djokovic be detained only being raised at 10.55pm. Apparently forgetting that Djokovic’s lawyers raised it at least an hour earlier.
Not sure it’s only political. Countries have a right to lay down rules for entry, and he’s clearly broken them by traveling after testing positive, etc. Deserves to be deported for disrespecting the rule of law. To me his mid-December positive COVID test is very likely faked due to its very convenient timing. He’s a bad actor.
And all he had to do was take a couple of shots and his risk of not playing goes to zero. Foolish and unnecessary. These lying athletes of today are a far cry from Muhammad Ali, who had the strength of character to go to prison over his political convictions.
Which is why I wish above anything else Serbia does something about him not self isolating. I just want him to be in a position where legal action forces him to tell the truth that he didn’t test positive. Are there any laws against faking a positive test? Sure it makes you look like a downright cunt, but is it unlawful?
I consider that Mr Djokovic’s ongoing presence in Australia may lead to an increase in anti-vaccination sentiment generated in the Australian community, potentially leading to an increase in civil unrest of the kind previously experienced in Australia with rallies and protests which may themselves be a source of community transmission.
“Mr Djokovic is … a person of influence and status.
“Having regard to … Mr Djokovic’s conduct after receiving a positive Covid-19 result, his publicly stated views, as well as his unvaccinated status, I consider that his ongoing presence in Australia may encourage other people to disregard or act inconsistently with public health advice and policies in Australia.”
I hope the court doesn’t focus on the first paragraph. I think his vaccination status should be irrelevant in this particular visa cancellation. It really needs to be about the rest - that a high profile person ignored public health rules without any consequences and the public should not be encouraged to do the same.
Could have just as easily posted this on the UK politics thread.
Actions of fraud maybe…???
