"So it would appear that this guy has really shot himself in the foot. It would appear that his explanation of testing positive is starting to back fire as more and more pictures are surfacing online with him at public engagements and events with days after testing positive. One event the day after. There seems to be a growing backlash towards him and his attitude about the whole situation. Is this going to damage his career!? Personally I’m on the side of the Australian Border force on this. Mr NF " Why would missing one tournament damage his career? He’s 34 and realistically his sporting ability should be starting to decline about now. Nobody is going to take the 20 grand slams off him, or the reported $200m he has in the bank. Personally I’m on the side of Djokovic here and will make a wild prediction that in years to come he will be revered in a similar way to Muhammad Ali due to his civil liberties stance | |||

Could you imagine the monumental shit storm that would happen if it was revealed that Johnson, Patel or Sunak or any high level premier league footballer for example were to be found to of tested positive and then was at events and photo ops the next day and following days!? It’s not about civil liberties it’s about adhering to the laws. Australia have every right to deny a visa to him and good on them for doing so. It’s ironic that the same people bitching about Australia not allowing him in tend to be the same people that “wanted to take back control or our own borders” when voting for Brexit. Australia are simply controlling their borders. | |||

While we’re talking irony the same people who have an issue with the way we treat our immigrants and those trying to get here tend to be the same people who are applauding Australia for controlling their borders. | |||

"He attended a public event having tested positive for Covid at worst, or awaiting the results of a PCR test at best. In either case, the actions of a selfish D1khead. " Mmm. Someone who believes the law doesn't or shouldn't apply to him, in an action which is not without significant precedent and one which poses no undue hardship on life or essential life activity. The hysteria over this is incredible. | |||

None of this is ok. He appears to have not completed the appropriate steps to enter Australia - where he should have exercised the personal responsibility to find out how to do so (or, if he could not accept their conditions, stay away) - this isn't an ordinary person or a refugee, this is someone with lots of options and resources behind him. He either lied about having Covid in mid December or was unable to isolate. Lying to immigration officials is not appropriate, or not isolating with Covid is hideously antisocial. But apparently this is all ok because he's some sort of poster boy for kooks. | |||

Personally I’m on the side of the Australian Border force on this. Mr NF Just a question... Who took the test - him or someone else? Did he get someone else to test positive in his name to avoid vaccination and get into Australia? If it is his, then why was he out in public... clearly ignoring rules and potentially infecting others... Personally I don't trust his PCR test... Lets do an antigen test and check his levels... they should be able to calculate the correct levels of antigens in order to determine "if" he was actually infected or not. I say Australian Border Force should deport him immediately. " | |||

The court said the reason to cancel the visa was actually perfectly valid and legally sound, the problem is how it was actioned at passport control! During the interview he was told he was being given notice of intent to have his visa cancelled, after which his asked for time to talk to a lawyer. The original officer said no problem, but there shift was ending so he passed it on to another officer, it was that officer who then came in, said the intent to cancel had been cancelled and made official and ended the interviews!! It was because they reneged on allowing them to talk to a lawyer is the reason the judgement went for Djokovic and against the government… The home affairs minister can still cancel the visa if they think it is in the public interest | |||

"I'm not sure id want someone around me who doesn't isolate, when they know they are infected. " Yeah he seems to be getting a free pass on that behaviour. Although perhaps they've been picking their headlines. Its interesting that our media seem more interested in discussing one sportsman on the other side of the world than the thousands here who are about to lose their livelihoods for want of having the same vaccine to do their jobs (I know it's been done in these fora many times) | |||

"Using his status and wealth, next time I go to Australia I'll take my team of lawyers with me just in case!" Here's a bit of the transcript... This section catches the moment the tennis star is given notice that his visa may be cancelled and he now has 20 minutes to argue why his visa shouldn't be cancelled. The interviewer says Djokovic can request more time. Djokovic: "So you're giving me legally 20 minutes to try to provide additional information that I don’t have? "At 4 o clock in the morning? I mean you kind of put me in a very awkward position where at 4 in the morning I can’t call director of Tennis Australia, I can’t engage with anybody from the Victorian state government through Tennis Australia. "I just you put me in a very uncomfortable position. I don’t know what else can I tell you. I mean I-I-I-I everything that that they -- I was asked to do is here." "And I wouldn’t be here sitting in front of you if I if I wasn’t complying to all the rules and regulations set by your government. So I just -- I don’t know what I I mean -- to me it is a little bit shocking that you are have -- that you are going to give me the notice to cancel my visa based on what? | |||

" I hope now that he is free that the population can also free themselves, but Australia was a prison isle so maybe not much has changed." I love it that it’s people not in Australia who are trying to tell what Australians how they should consider their own government and laws…. The judge said the actual reason for cancelling the visa was reasonable and perfectly legal.. it was the application that was wrong… And with that in mind… the minister could just cancel the visa again since that part was okay and this time just follow the process to the letter of the law! P.s it is going to be interesting during his matches… the Serbian community vs the court of public opinion!! There are going to be fights in the stands | |||

There are going to be fights in the stands " you missed out quite a section of my original post, so here it is, one can't pick and choose you know. Thia tennis player should be seen as a business, he has steakholders, sponsors and fans who all pay money to the sport in one way or another due to him. if his earnings are personallly 200 million then he has generated twice that for his other interested parties. So with that in mind it was never going to happen that novac would be sent home as millions would be lost in sponsorship, banks losing money the tournament itself being damaged by reputation. If I was novac I would take myself home and f435 the tournament, but he cannot as he has responsibility to the same sponsors and steakhosders to make them money. I hope now that he is free that the population can also free themselves, but Australia was a prison isle so maybe not much has changed. I am putting out there that there are other interested parties who surround novac, who will not allow his non participation. as they have an investment in him and the tournament sponsorship etc, lets call them the money men. no where do I see in my quote that directs Australia to do this or that, I just said I thought it would never happen that he wouldn't play in this tournament. due to the powerful interests he has around him. | |||

Where do we draw the line with forcing someone to have a medical procedure? Do you earn enough to support a kid? No? forced abortion because you are a drain on the system. Do you have a disease that could be passed on to kids? Sterilised! If we start taking away body autonomy it's not a big leap to these things. I have a friend who got his covid vaccine for travel because he works overseas a lot and also travelled for a sport he competed in. He ended up with clots and heart issues after his 3rd dose. Now he can't work or compete and even struggles to walk up stairs. He's a shell of his former self and has even attempted suicide. How is it fair to force vaccination on anyone when there is even a slight possibility that this can happen? Personal choice is key. | |||

Without it, disfiguring diseases like polio and debilitating and fatal diseases like TB will once again be part of our lives. Some might argue that such wilful determination to exercise personal freedom selfishly puts the vulnerable in our society at greater risk. Yes, any and all. Where do we draw the line with forcing someone to have a medical procedure? Do you earn enough to support a kid? No? forced abortion because you are a drain on the system. Do you have a disease that could be passed on to kids? Sterilised! If we start taking away body autonomy it's not a big leap to these things. I have a friend who got his covid vaccine for travel because he works overseas a lot and also travelled for a sport he competed in. He ended up with clots and heart issues after his 3rd dose. Now he can't work or compete and even struggles to walk up stairs. He's a shell of his former self and has even attempted suicide. How is it fair to force vaccination on anyone when there is even a slight possibility that this can happen? Personal choice is key. Sorry to hear about your friend’s reaction. While you cite an example of how you believe a vaccine damaged your friend’s health, the same vaccine saved my life. Before vaccination was rolled out, I spent 4 days fighting for my life in hospital. Since vaccination roll out, I have had covid twice but only ever suffered a runny nose. " Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not anti vax in the slightest. Im glad your subsequent covid infections were mild. I got my first two doses, zero side effects from either other than a sore arm (although I was very hungover both times the next day so wouldnt have noticed if it made me feel under the weather) I just didn't go for the boosters as I didn't feel I needed them. If had two doses and covid twice by that point. I've always been pro choice. It should be upto the individual to make that decision without feeling coerced in any direction. | |||

"Hes a good. No hes a great player. Let him make his own choices for his body. But im not sure i can see any justification at all for forcing a fit young man to have any vaccine, let alone one which has so few benefits for people of his demographic and who hes going to come into contact with. Seem strange that this is still a thing. Couldn't agree more. Glad he stood his ground, I've been against any form of coercion or force used to vaccinate people from the get go.

Endemic corruption of government, revolving door" To be fair, from the studies and articles read yesterday, my personal choice of having further boosters, had I not had covid, would have changed. The potential for getting encephalitis again is enough for me to say no! The conclusion of the studies was that for the vulnerable and elderly the benefits of having boosters outweighs risk. There appears to be enough concern of the mRNA to be looking at the next generation. But that's how science works. | |||

Hey, if someone wants to say they know more about the subject that an actual expert then that’s their prerogative - but I’d expect them to back it up, that’s all. I thought he was an expert and specialist in the field of tropical disease & communicable illness? Now he's a vaccine expert which one is it? I am not trying to be vaciusios. Someone in that position would have a great deal of knowledge on vaccines. He is however not an expert and doesn't even work in the field of vaccine efficacy or advocacy. Do you not think a consultant in the field has a degree of vaccine knowledge beyond the average layman? " No I absolutely do and I genuinely ment it when I said I'm not trying to be facetius. I just don't think it should stifle debates. I have seen numerous consultants come out in the media contemplating loosing there Jobs over the proposed NHS vaccine mandates at the time,because they simply did not believe the evidence was sufficient to show a reduction in transmission or that it was efficacious for younger people not at risk of becoming seriously ill from Covid. | |||

"Not all vaccines, just mRNA ones that have zero long term studies "Have an expert in the family" just sounds so cringey. No one knows you personally so who you are related to is irrelevant.. Anyone could make such a claim and I'm really not interested in your second hand interpretation of what he/she may or may not have said. Oh it sounds cringey so you’re gonna disregard it. That’s your prerogative, I guess. Not quite sure why I’d think to invent a brother to win an argument about vaccines on a swingers forum, tbf, but that’s ok This site is full of people that invent all kinds of stuff and not just on the forum He works in your city, randomly " Hahaha small world.. Think the center for tropical diseases is right next to the department for genital urinary medicine as well. Might pass him on my way for my next retuine check up ???? | |||

"If there was only a small chance of passing on a possibly deadly disease then i would take all precautions to stop that happening. And certainly not encourage others to ignore medical advise. Especially if youre in a position to influence others." Oh really? There absolutely still is a "small chance" of passing on a possibly deadly disease. Are you taking "ALL" precautions now to stop that happening? I don't think so.. | |||
