What fun the Silly Serb has provided for Covid-botherers, multiculturalists, critics of our immigration laws, and sports fans: "oppression and incompetent vulgarity"; "provincial opportunism and crass stupidity". And that 'nasty' Border Force. Wow! What a great opportunity to rubbish your own country and side with a foreigner. I'm presuming Binoy is an Australian, of course. It's certainly where he gets his bread and butter.

Good old "Fortress Australia" gets a run from Binoy. Lock down Australians, keep them from moving around in their own country, but don't dare to stop foreigners, who would be in serious trouble if they were oppressed Australians, from coming here.

I only hope that Alex Hawke has the guts to kick out the Serb, using 133(3), along with the other illegals Binoy threw in as a bonus whinge. We are stuck with Binoy.

My brother always warned me about the misuse of the word 'irony'. Thus, I use it cautiously in the dramatic form, where the audience [the Australian and world population] can see the stupidity of the Australian government, however, that government [the actors in this play] do not realize how stupid they appear.

There are two good outcomes from this farce. Firstly, the Morrison government is shown up to be stupid, dumb and heavy-handed, using the military in its presentation of health advice to its people, like some dictatorship. Secondly, its treatment of refugees is deplorable, inhumane and unconscionable.

Cyclone,
How then would you describe the refugee's treatment by heir own who turned them into refugees ? Successful multiculturalists ?

Tell em' Indy, when you rocked up to our shores as a reffo some 50 years ago, we looked after you. We gave you a house, a cushy job, cash in your pocket and 50 years of taxpayer welfare.

On this topic, Morrison stuffed up, YET AGAIN! Before Xmas ScumO' and the clown in NSW were all gung-ho about opening up. They didn't count on Omicron, which they had failed to prepare for. In the pre Xmas context Djokovic was welcomed into Australia by the ScumO mob with open arms. Now things are out of control, ScumO is looking for a political out, and the Tennis Man is his political out.

Stopping Djokovic from playing is a weak and shameful un-Australian way of stopping him from winning.

Bureaurcatic stuff up perhaps, but also the doctrine of the separation of powers in action. At least border force know the rules and have the balls to enforce them. I am sick of one rule for celebrities and another for us plebs. Novac can pack his racket and get lost. I couldn't care less how well he plays tennis, it is no reason for not being vaccinated as every other os visitor here must be without a valid medical exemption. Allowing this conspiracy nutter antivaxer to come here and play tennis would be showing contempt for the Australian public.

The French found out what a liar Morrison is, now the Serbs are learning the same lesson.

The "rules" are not exactly complicated or unclear.
How Govt/ Tennis Australia and friends have ballsed this up is beyond my comprehension.

As per Border Force website..

"Passengers are required to sign and date the IPC, and are also required to correctly answer additional questions concerning their migration status, health status and any prior criminal convictions. For non-Australian citizens, providing false information can affect their visa status.

Completing a passenger card on behalf of another traveller
An IPC can be completed on behalf of another traveller where a person is in charge of that traveller. This includes parents/guardians of minors and carers of travellers with special needs.

A non-Australian citizen is considered to have completed a passenger card where the card is completed on their behalf."

Well, faking a test result should be enough to get the guy kicked out. Every day this lying creep stays compounds the insult to responsible Australians. Rack off Novak!

JF Aus,,
That's as childish an argument as one can produce ! I would not be at all surprised if it turns out that Labor had a finger that pie all along !

Indy, ScumO has copped a pie in the face over this one, and its all his own doing.

Fester, couldn't agree more! He was granted a visa due to the fact that he declared himself vaccinated? When that as we've now found out, a willful mistruth.

This antivaxxer's rep is well know, as is his publicly air views on vaccinations. I'd like to see him battle tetanus, smallpox, or polio using that seriously stupid, Serbian mindset!

Think, how many of our loved ones/fellow Australians, couldn't come home or cross a border because our rules applied in full to them! And Novak seems to think those same rules didn't apply to him, because he is a sporting celebrity!?

The new variants/mutations of covid 19 are created in unvaccinated hosts! And some of the new variants could be even more transmissable and lethal
Alan B.

Alan B,

What evidence do you have to prove new variants/strains of Covid-19 are created in unvaccinated hosts?

I think it more likely variants could be created in vaccinated hosts as the virus fights to get past the vaccine.

The shocking treatment of sportsman Novak Djokovic, especially putting him out of the match and out of Australia, places Australians in Serbia in danger from reprisal.
