On the evening of January 14, local time, according to Australia's "Century Newspaper", Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke has used his personal power to cancel Djokovic's visa, and Djokovic's legal team immediately applied for an injunction against his deportation and decided to appeal again.
On January 10, a hearing on Djokovic's Visa on Arrival case was held, and the judge declared Australia's visa revocation order against Djokovic invalid, citing improper procedures. However, under australian immigration law, the Minister of Immigration still has the power to unilaterally exercise the power to revoke Djokovic's visa again.
After several days of deliberation, Immigration Minister Hawke finally decided to exercise his personal higher authority to cancel Djokovic's visa again, meaning the Serb could be barred from re-entering Australia for three years and would be immediately deported if he did not appeal against the decision, or failed to overturn the resolution after filing an appeal.
In a statement, Hawke said: "Today, I exercised my authority under section 133C(3) of the Immigration Act to cancel the visa held by Mr. Novak Djokovic on the grounds of health and good order, on the grounds that it was in the public interest to do so. ”
"In making this decision, I carefully considered the information provided to me by the Home Office, the Australian Border Force and Mr Djokovic. The Morrison administration is strongly committed to protecting Australia's borders, particularly during the outbreak. ”
Djokovic's team of lawyers has said they intend to impose a ban on the minister's decision to allow Djokovic to continue to compete in the Australian Open.
