World number 1 Djokovic has had his visa canceled only days before the start of the Australian Open tennis tournament.
Immigration Minister Hawke said he had canceled the visa this time on"health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so".
"The [Australia Prime Minister Scott] Morrison Government is firmly committed to protecting Australia's borders, particularly in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic."The decision could, at its most drastic, mean the World Number One is deported from the country. However, the World Number One's legal team has the option to appeal against the decision, meaning Djokovic could still participate in the Australian Open.
The personal intervention by Australia's Immigration Minister arrives four days after Djokovic won a reprieve in a court case reversing an earlier decision to cancel his entry visa to the country.on Wednesday, January 12, Djokovic wrote how he wanted to"address the continuing misinformation about my activities and attendance at events in December in the lead up to my positive PCR COVID test.
