Good Grief.

"Prime Minister Scott Morrison has left the door open for Novak Djokovic to return to the Australian Open next year despite the tennis star facing an automatic three-year ban from the country."

All this fuss over getting him gone, and now they will consider waiving his three-year ban.

I am unsure how they could have handled this worse. They just need to stop talking now.

Such rubbish, if your Visa is canceled its a 36 month exclusion EOFS

Inviting him to come back next year makes a mockery of the immigration system

The minister has discretion on the 3 year exclusion.

it's not like he tried to smuggle contraban or planned to work on a tourist visa ... i believe he genuinely believed TA and Vic State did a deal with the federal govt to allow him in. though he did forget that he was in Spain ...

Ultimately though, it's irrelevant. You're responsible for ensuring information you provide is correct regardless what advice you receive. The information saying that previous infection wasn't a valid reason to not be vaccinated was publicly available, and linked from the declaration - he is a seasoned traveller, and there's a bit more of a duty of care to make sure they're across the entry requirements of a country on his team who do this professionally.

And yeah, that ignores "forgetting" that he'd visited another country.

news says he was previously given the go ahead to play in the French Open but as he was flying out of Australia, France passed a law - no vaccine pass no play tennis

That is not true at all. The Vaccine Passport law is nothing to do with tennis, it's a law to make it a requirement to have a Green Pass to enter into shops, stadiums, etc. Since you can get a temporary Green Pass if you contract and subsequently recover from COVID, he would actually be good to go in France under the circumstances of his Australia trip.

An important note is that he can easily get a Green Pass since it's not just EU members that issue them, the Republic of Serbia is a country that can issue them as well. You yourself have a Green Pass already, since New Zealand's "My Vaccine Pass" is also an EU DCC Green Pass.

The Guardian - Djokovic has 80% stake in biotech firm developing Covid drug

breaking

Novak Djokovic is the controlling shareholder in a Danish biotech firm aiming to develop a treatment for Covid-19 that does not involve vaccination, it has emerged.

The world No 1, who was deported from Australia this week after the government cancelled his visa in a dispute over a medical exemption relating to his unvaccinated status, bought an 80% stake in QuantBioRes in 2020.

This could explain many things ...

For those that are interested, the full legalese version of the judgement is available to peruse: Djokovic v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCAFC 3 (fedcourt.gov.au)

The Court's findings basically sum up to ND's legal team failing to prove that the Minister was irrational in coming to his decision, and acknowledging that while another rational person may not have come to the same conclusion, the Minister did and that's all the law requires (this particular quote being quite relevant: "where the criterion of which the authority is required to be satisfied turns upon factual matters upon which reasonable minds could reasonably differ, it will be very difficult to show that no reasonable decision-maker could have arrived at the decision in question").

Have a read of just how that "biotech" company's treatment works. Apparently it uses electromagnetism to "disrupt the energies of free electrons along the protein" to neutralise the virus. Basically, it's about as effective as smearing feline excrement under your armpits at treating SARS-CoV-2 infection.

It is well-documented on the Internet that cat faeces is very effective for horse worms.

AZ not an approved by CDC? That's going to be an issues for the Aussies who have received this particular Vaccine which they pushed so hard.

Similar for most of Europe, and Asia, where the dominant vaccines are AstraZeneca, Sputnik, and Sinovac.

(Though as an update, it doesn't matter anyway since that's not what's happening).
