【Global Times comprehensive report】The German visa storm has turned again! Australian Immigration Minister Hawke announced on the 14th that out of "public interest" considerations, the visa of Serbian tennis star Djokovic was cancelled again, at this time there were only 3 days left before the start of the Australian Open. According to the Australian newspaper reported on the 14th, Australian Prime Minister Morrison explained in a statement that this is to ensure that the results of the "sacrifices" made by Australians during the new crown pneumonia epidemic will not be wasted.
Djokovic was scheduled to play the Australian Open in Melbourne next Monday. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation combed the timetable of the visa storm: after Arriving in Melbourne by plane on the evening of the 5th, Djokovic was cancelled because he was not vaccinated and did not meet the entry requirements of Australia, and was transferred to a hotel where immigrants were detained. Although the judge of the Australian Federal Circuit found that his visa was unreasonably cancelled on the 10th and ordered the release of his detention, but on the 12th, there was another wave, Djokovic admitted that he checked the option that did not conform to the facts in the "travel declaration" submitted at the time of entry, and explained that this was the negligence of the team staff when filling in the report. On the 14th, Hawke exercised his discretion to cancel his visa again.
Agence France-Presse said on the 14th that Australia is about to hold a general election this year, and Djokovic's visa dispute is full of political overtones. Senator Kenny Lee of the Opposition Labour Party in Australia said it had been 58 days since Djokovic obtained an Australian entry visa, and "Hawke has only now decided whether Djokovic will stay or go, and the Morrison government is incompetent." It's a farce. Labour MP Charlemagne accused morrison's government of delaying the decision in order to distract attention from supply chain issues.
CNN commented on the 14th that Djokovic's visa was cancelled again, almost ending the ambition of the tennis "brother" to participate in the Australian Open and win the 21st Grand Slam. Agence France-Presse said some tennis players said Djokovic should now be allowed to play. However, Tsitsipas, who ranks fourth in the world, criticized on the 14th: "There is no doubt that he has been playing by his own rules." It takes a lot of courage to take the Grand Slam and take the risk, and I don't think many players would do that. ”
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation said on the 14th that Djokovic's cancellation of his visa will bring serious consequences, including a possible ban on entry into Australia within three years. Djokovic's lawyer, Wood, citing more details in government documents about the visa cancellation, said djokovic's visa was cancelled not because it was harmful to the public, but because "he will provoke anti-vaccine sentiment", a reason that is "clearly unreasonable".
According to the BBC, at an emergency court hearing held on the evening of the 14th, the judge ruled that Djokovic would not be deported while the appeal process was in progress, and the appeal hearing was expected to be held this Sunday. In addition, Djokovic was asked to speak with immigration officials at 8 p.m. on Saturday, and the judge said the Australian government could detain him after meeting with immigration officials, but he was still allowed to travel to his lawyer's office to prepare for Sunday's hearing.
