Not beyond the experts' predictions, the Australian government took strong action when deciding to cancel Novak Djokovic's visa for the second time. Last time, the court "broke the deal" and brought Djokovic the victory because the authorities violated the procedures.
However, with errors related to travel declarations, the Serbian tennis player himself also realized that the risk of visa cancellation is still there, even greater, because " spreading false information" is classified as a major crime.
Therefore, Djokovic himself had to speak up early, apologize and admit his mistake, even though the voters were not him but his team of assistants. In terms of love, it could be a include human error, as Nole said, but in terms of reason, he was definitely wrong.
And so, Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke after four days of consideration and mentioning decided to cancel Djokovics visa for the second time. The seriousness of the issue is seen in the Minister's citation of the law "on the basis that doing things is for the public interest", or emphasizing that Prime Minister Scott Morrison's government is "committed to firmly protecting Australia's borders, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic".
Understands this decision as showing that Djokovic's actions could harm the interests of Australian people, so it is necessary to deal with it resolutely, even though he is one of the most famous figures in world sports.
The question is, will Djokovic be deported immediately or will he have a chance to appeal? In fact, the world No. 1 tennis player's legal team has prepared documents so that as soon as there is an official decision, they can immediately file an appeal in court.
According to the latest information, the court has accepted the appeal, so Djokovic will continue to stay in Australia until at least Sunday (16.1). That is also the time the trial will take place - just one day before the official rounds of the Australian Open 2022 take place.
During a meeting between the parties to arrange a working schedule, Stephen Lloyd - representative of Minister Hawke, affirmed that Djokovic will not be deported until all related work is completed.
Judge Anthony Kelly said Djokovic would be held on Saturday, following an interview at the Migration Department at 8 a.m. (local time), spending around 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at his law firm - which could be held if Border Guard officials were present on the same floor of the building - and spent an evening in a hotel on bail before being taken back to his law firm for a hearing on Sunday.
Nick Wood, one of Nole's lawyers, has concerns about security and media harassment as the 34-year-old has demanded the location of his detention be kept confidential. However, judge Kelly and Mr. Lloyd both were upset and reacted quite strongly.
Finally, the parties were able to arrange Djokovic a separate place before the hearing on Sunday.
