I wonder though, does being deported prevent you from getting a work visa ever again? Has he played his last Australian Open? If someone has answered this below then my apologies. However I read last night that a common Australian Border Force reaction to an incorrect visa such as this is a 3 year ban on entry. I suspect that this won't be applied to Novak. Also, a note that it appears that his entry or expulsion will be decided in court on Monday, and presumably he will be kept at the detention hotel until then.

Translation: If Djiokovic had shut his mouth he would have been given a nod and a wink to be let in. Since he caused such an outcry, he made himself a cause celebre. The situation in a nutshell. Of course the fact that Novak turned up with an incorrect visa made the Border Force's decision easy.

Yes, but it was only very recently that the tournament granted him and a handful of others exemptions, after previously stating that full vaccinations would be obligatory for competitors and officials. If he had quietly accepted his new-found exemption, not mentioned it at all in the media, and slipped into the country then he wouldn't be where he is now. He would still have had the incorrect visa, of course, but the Victorian government would have no doubt quietly given the nod to Border Force when requested. Of course, there would have been a shit-show in the media once he had arrived, but he would have been in and thus more difficult to chuck out. From a purely neutral standpoint, it was an ill-conceived decision of his to bring attention to himself before he had been granted entry as it gave those who disagree with the exemption decision an opportunity to create a stir and therefore put the eventual decision of the Border Force in the spotlight, meaning that the latter had to be seen to apply the rules properly.

NANOJAMBO Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 https://news.paddypower.com/tennis/2022/01/06/novak-djokovic-australian-visa-aussie-open-tennis/ There’s been a further twist in the Novak Djokovic deportation saga with the Australian government offering the world’s number one tennis player a working visa in exchange for three months hard labour on a Victoria state farm. Djokovic had his visa to enter Australia revoked on his arrival in Melbourne airport after refusing to wear a face-covering in WH Smiths. The 34-year-old was then taken to a government detention hotel and was originally expected to be deported on Monday. However, in a dramatic turn of events, Aussie officials have now offered the Serbian a three-month working visa – if he’s willing to spend 15-hours per day picking fruit on a Victoria farm. “The big Sheila has two options: He can fill boxes with fruit, or he can p*ss off back to where he came from,” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Paddy Power News. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
