There's a TV docu-series called something like Border Force Australia that was / is on one of the ITV channels. I just hope it's being filmed as part of this.

Voiceover: 'This man has tried to enter Australia using an invalid visa. He now faces an interview with immigration officials and possible deportation'
Djokovic with face pixillated: 'I've been travelling for 14 hours. What do you mean, my visa is invalid?'

My Other Half loves that show.

When i've watched it there is always someone from China with a suitcase full of food and they end up paying a fine while said food gets sent to the incinerator, that would be great to see Novak stewing sat in Customs and then being told he's are on the next flight out of Australia.

[Persephone]

Send the wanker to Nauru Island. He can work on his fitness out there.

[Zlen]

Guy is alternative medicine & history supporter. Fuck him and his kind. Australians should protest if he is allowed in their country after all they’ve been through and put up with.

[The G in Gerrard]

It'll be resolved the visa issues won't it?

[Machae]

Course, just making a show of it all

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

I heard he likes to visit people of pseudo-medicine. He's really thick in the head.

[Dougle]

Yes he’s medically exempt.

I think there’s gluten in the vaccine.

Touché Nick !

I don't think he should have gone in the first place myself. Come straight out with it. Nope, not jabbed. If the Aussies have that rule then they have that rule, if he has made his decision then stick by it. Don't like the sneakiness myself.

Novak Djokovic's father speaking about Novak's detention in Melbourne Airport: 🗣

 "They are holding my son captive. If they don't release him in the next half an hour we will fight them on the street."

I do hope this is true. 😳😅

[Zlen]

Wait, what? Fight them in a street where? In Serbia?

[BarryCrocker]

First episode of Celebrity Border Force kicking off at Melbourne Airport.

I'd love him to get booted. Not because he's a dick, but because there are genuine people trying to get home to see their families who haven't had the luxury that's been afforded to him.

But he is also a dick.

Breaking: Novak Djokovic's visa has been cancelled. He's been told to leave the country today, two sources confirmed to @theage. His Lawyers are in the process of appealing. He's not demonstrated to Border Force sufficient evidence for his exemption https://t.co/TM5BF0Gu80

[amir87]

Has he requested a medical timeout yet?

Lol!!

[Circa1892]

Well - he won't be playing in Roland Garros without one you'd have thought - so Nadal will be the first to 21...

[Circa1892]

He has a habit of getting angry and smashing one out on an authoritative figure.

That's quite the sentence.

Pissed myself laughing at that. My daughter watches that show. Love the turtles reference!

[JC the Messiah]

♫ He's going home, he's going home, he's going... Novak's going home... ♫

[Ray K]

Amazing return by the Australian government there.

[killer-heels]

Ha would love to see the crying faces of the Australian Open organisers.

[S]

Does anyone like Djokovic? Are there actual Djokovic fans?

[Nick110581]

This is fucking incredible.

[Hazell]

♫ He's going home, he's going home, he's going... Novak's going home... ♫

He'll have plenty of time to set up a new Adria Tour.

[sminp]

Good. Serves him right the fucking idiot.

[gaztop08]

[elsewhere]

He should join via Zoom

[TheShanklyGates]

He deserves to be made an example of.

Advantage Aussie Border Force

Advantage Aussie Border Force

Statement:

The Australian Border Force will continue to ensure that those who arrive at our border comply with our laws and entry requirements.

The ABF can confirm that Mr Djokovic failed to provide appropriate evidence to meet the entry requirements to Australia, and his visa has been subsequently cancelled.

Non-citizens who do not hold a valid visa on entry or who have had their visa cancelled will be detained and removed from Australia.

The ABF can confirm Mr Djokovic had access to his phone

Can he appeal this or will he be on his way home?

But in a 2GB segment on Wednesday afternoon, 9 News political editor Chris O’Keefe revealed that Tennis Australia had approached the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) regarding Djokovic’s “natural immunity”, only to have it knocked back.

“I’m told on good authority that Tennis Australia asked ATAGI, the federal taskforce on vaccination, if ‘natural immunity can work in place of two doses of vaccine’,” O’Keefe said.

“This is from ATAGI to Tennis Australia when they asked if someone had caught Covid, if that could be in place of them being fully vaccinated: ‘Natural immunity from the past infection is recognised as fully vaccinated in several European countries, but ATAGI also notes the challenge of confirming past infection and uncertainty with regards to the duration of protection.’

“So it’s recognised in several European countries, not recognised in Australia.

“This is what ATAGI told Tennis Australia: ‘ATAGI recommends that two doses of TGA-approved or TGA-recognised Covid-19 vaccine, according to the recommended schedule, is still required in order to be vaccinated. Past infection is not a contraindication (meaning a valid reason against) vaccination.’

“So in Australia, ATAGI told Tennis Australia that past infection with Covid is not a valid reason against vaccination. They also said that vaccination can commence once recovered from severe illness – which is only 7 or 14 days – and only in exceptional circumstances can an exemption be given if that person caught Covid in the last six months.”

Djokovic is known to have contracted Covid-19 in June 2020 – 19 months ago – but he has not revealed if he has tested positive in recent months.

The only other official reasons the champion could’ve been granted an exemption, O’Keefe pointed out, are for an inflammatory cardiac issue, recent or upcoming major surgery, or a previous adverse reaction to a Covid-19 vaccine.

If Djokovic had a heart issue it would prevent him from getting the mRNA vaccines, but not AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson; and there’s “no evidence that he’s had major surgery, because he played in the Davis Cup in Austria on December 5”, O’Keefe said.

As for a prior bad reaction to the jab, Djokovic has previously spoken out against mandatory Covid-19 vaccination and refused to disclose his vaccination status, so he likely “hasn’t had a Covid vaccine in the first place to give him a bad reaction”.

[killer-heels]

Fuck off John McEnroe.

Fuck off John McEnroe.

Whats he done?

Kinda mad that I called it Border Force Australia instead of Nothing to Declare though.

Mr Djokovic’s visa has been cancelled. Rules are rules, especially when it comes to our borders. No one is above these rules. Our strong border policies have been critical to Australia having one of the lowest death rates in the world from COVID, we are continuing to be vigilant
