EXPLAINER: An Australian immigration official must make the politically charged decision of whether to use his authority to overturn the judge’s ruling that would allow Novak Djokovic to compete at the Australian Open.
He’s not in the clear yet. Immigration Minister Hawke has put off until Wednesday his decision on whether to revoke the unvaccinated tennis star’s visa on public health grounds under Australia’s Migration Act.
His application for a medical exemption to the rule that all non-Australian arrivals must be vaccinated was based on his claim that he tested positive to COVID-19 on Dec. 16. Photographs and videos since then have shown a maskless Djokovic attending public events, including a junior tennis prize ceremony in Belgrade after his positive test. Serbia’s COVID-19 protocols should have required him to isolate for 11 days.Djokovic arrived in Melbourne as it faced record daily numbers of COVID-19 cases. Numbers also were increasing across Australia because of the omicron variant.
He tweeted “rules are rules” and repeated that in interviews on subsequent days. At first it seemed a certain political win.
