Novak Djokovic is rejected and cannot participate in the Australian Open tennis. For the Australian government, in fact, Covid infection is not a sufficient reason to obtain medical exemption and the number 1 tennis player in the world "has not provided further clear evidence of a contraindication to the vaccine".
Not only that, "regardless of the judgment of the Court" called to express itself on the appeal of the Serbian lawyers, "the choice of not letting Djokovic enter Australia is the responsibility of the government".
On the eve of the hearing on the cancellation of the visa, the Melbourne Court published the response that the Australian government will bring to the court, in which the lawyers of the Canberra executive stress that the sample "is not vaccinated".
As stated in point 64, there are no guarantees of entry by a non-Australian citizen to the country. Indeed, there are criteria for entry and reasons why the visa can be canceled or refused.
"Even though Djokovic was confirmed that his applications met the requirements to be able to travel to Australia without quarantine, the Minister of the Interior has the power to verify the evidence and cancel the visa," it reads.
In conclusion, Novak Djokovic's application must be rejected. And in another very important passage of the document, the government does not seem to give Nole a chance: the Australian executive, it says, "has the right to cancel the visa even if the court agrees to Djokovic", this is because " Australia, as a sovereign state, maintains the utmost discretion as to who to let into the country ".
