Federal Court reveals why it upheld decision to send Novak Djokovic home

The Federal Court says it was “plainly open” to Immigration Minister Alex Hawke to infer that Novak Djokovic was opposed to vaccination against COVID-19 and that young and impressionable Australians could emulate him when the minister cancelled the tennis star’s visa.

In its written reasons for rejecting the legal challenge by Serbian tennis player, published on Thursday, the Federal Court said that while someone else in Mr Hawke’s position may have made a different decision, the minister had not been “irrational or illogical” when deciding to cancel the visa.

Under the Migration Act, Mr Hawke only needed to be satisfied that the presence of Mr Djokovic in Australia “may be, or might be, a risk to the health, safety or good order of the Australian community”, the court said, as it rejected all three grounds relied upon by Djokovic’s lawyers to challenge the visa cancellation.

Coincidence after the Novax Djoke affair? :roll:

Serbia backs out of controversial Rio Tinto lithium mine

The surprise U-turn from the government comes months ahead of likely parliamentary elections, with President Aleksandar Vucic's administration looking to shore up support from voters following weeks of protests that gained traction across the Balkan country.

"We have fulfilled all the demands from the environmental protests and have put an end to Rio Tinto in the Republic of Serbia," said Premier Ana Brnabic during a televised address.

"Everything about the Jadar project is finished," she added, referring to the mine that was set to be built in western Serbian.

Hard to tell, but many Serbs, including their president were furious, and Serbian politicians also have to win elections.

I think, Mr. Djokovic, through his own actions (and the lack thereof), bears most of of the responsibility for his forced exit from Australia, but the various Australian governments (!) and Tennis Australia need to take a serious look and do a post mortem as well.

Mr. Hawke had to do damage control that should never have been necessary in the first place.

I think this was not difficult to avoid with proper cooperation among the involved bodies. Own goal.
