Tennis superstar Deyo landed in Australia and was imprisoned Two core issues interpretation

Beijing time on January 6 news, Djokovic went to Australia to prepare for the Australian Open, landed in Melbourne after being detained by customs, was told that the type of visa application is wrong. Tennis legends have been locked up in a "little black room" in Melbourne, mobile phones have been confiscated, the incident has risen to the diplomatic level, and the Serbian president and Australian prime minister have spoken out.

Let's take a look at the story of this incident, the whole thing has two cores, why can Djokovic not be vaccinated to participate in the Australian Open? Why are you barred from entering the country after obtaining a medical exemption?

1- Why did Deyo get a medical exemption?

On January 4, the Australian Open officially announced that the Victorian government had approved Djokovic's medical exemption, which means that Djokovic, who has been refusing to be vaccinated against the new crown, will be eligible to compete in the Australian Open. Subsequently, the Djokovic team announced their departure for Melbourne.

This official decision of the Australian Open immediately caused a worldwide discussion. The Australian people believe that this is an insult to every Australian who seriously abides by the rules of covid-19 prevention.

There are many people who say sarcastically that in the future, don't question the top athletes, they will get privileges anyway.

The point of contention is, what exactly is the Australian Open regulation on medical immunity? Why can Djokovic get a medical exemption?

In this regard, let's interpret the rules of the Australian Open.

The Australian Open and the Victorian Government require all entrants to be vaccinated before coming to Australia, and this rule also applies to athletes competing in pre-Australian Open warm-up matches in Sydney and Adelaide unless they are exempt from the vaccine. Athletes come to Australia and are quarantined for 14 days.

And the paper description of the medical exemption: people who have experienced acute major medical accidents, who have had adverse reactions to the new crown vaccine before, who have been infected with the new crown virus in the past six months, and who have a mental illness that poses a threat to themselves and others when they are vaccinated.

In a statement issued by the Australian Open Organizing Committee, Deyo was granted a medical exemption after two independent medical expert panels were rigorously reviewed, but the reason for obtaining the medical exemption was not disclosed, and the reason for the medical exemption was not disclosed, just to protect privacy.

Australian Open director Terry said 26 people applied for medical exemptions, 75-80 per cent were not vetted, Deyo was not treated specially and the application and approval process was fully legal.

In addition to Djokovic, three athletes were allegedly granted medical exemptions and used the same visas they applied for, after the three had entered the country, but the Australian Open Organising Committee and the Australian Tennis Association have not yet revealed the names of the three players.

2- The Deyo visa is cancelled by the Federal Government

Speaking in an interview the day after Djokovic was admitted, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said: "Djokovic, when he arrives in Australia, if he is not vaccinated, then he must provide acceptable evidence that the vaccine cannot be received for medical reasons. If the evidence is insufficient, he will not be treated specially, but will simply take the next flight home. ”

By the time Morrison said this, Djokovic and the team had boarded a plane bound for Melbourne.

After Deyo landed, he was immediately detained by the local customs and subsequently informed that there was a problem with the type of visa. In the process, Deyo was confiscated of his mobile phone and locked up in a guarded room.

At this time, the Victorian government, which provided medical exemptions to Deyo, received multiple applications from the Border Agency to verify medical exemptions and other relevant documents. Victorian government officials say visas are a matter for the federal government and medical exemptions are for doctors.

After the news returned to Serbia, Serbian President Vucic expressed concern, and Australian President Morrison then tweeted: "Mr. Djokovic's visa has been cancelled, and rules are rules, especially when it comes to Australia's border issues." No one can be above the rules, and I want to thank border officials for their work. ”

In this process, Djokovic has always followed the rules of the Australian Open and the Australian government. Both the Australian Open director and the Victorian government said that Deyo's application for a medical exemption was in accordance with the rules and procedures, but after coming to Australia, he was barred from entering the country and required Deyo to provide medical certificates.

The exemption given to him did not recognize it, and he locked up in a small black room at the door of the world's first-class road in the tennis world, and finally returned to the door of the visa that did not meet the requirements.

It can be seen that this matter itself is a chaos within the Australian government, the federal government does not recognize the medical exemption given to it by the Victorian government, and during the period of Djokovic's siege, the Victorian government did not provide entry support for Deyo's entry.

You may even think that Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is using this matter to appease the mood of the Australian people, and also in this election year, he is also using this event to improve his image in the hearts of the people.

Interestingly, just the day before, Sander Company, who was still shelling Deyo for obtaining medical immunity, turned around and began to shell the Australian Open Organizing Committee, saying that Australia did not deserve to hold a Grand Slam and that the Australian Open should be canceled.

3- Deyo repatriated to China The next three Australian Opens will not be able to participate?

After coming out of the small black house, Djokovic was locked up in the federal government's quarantine hotel, and according to Australian media sources, Djoyo will take the next flight back to Europe. But some media said that De Dating stayed in Australia and immediately filed an appeal.

Because the reason given by the Australian federal government this time is that the type of Djokovic visa is wrong, the next time you can apply for the correct type of visa, Djokovic can still come to Melbourne to compete, but this situation is already minimal.

Deyo has cancelled the Australian Open participation trip on his personal official website, pulling the 20-time Grand Slam champion to the door of the house to give such treatment, it is difficult to imagine that Djokovic will come back to participate.

Serbian media said Djokovic would appeal.

According to Serbian media sources, the visa of Djokovic was revoked, and according to Australian law, Djokovic may not be able to participate in the Australian Open in the next three years.

This claim is not yet certain. Mary Crocker, a professor of public law at the University of Sydney, said if Djokovic's visa was cancelled for making a false statement, entry to Australia could be banned for the next three years.
