On January 16, Beijing time, djokovic visa case second appeal proceeded, Djokovic and the authorities of the lawyers made a statement for more than 4 hours, the case is currently in the adjournment phase, is expected to have a final result this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
Immigration Minister Hawke revoked Djokovic's visa twice, mainly because of his apparent anti-vaccine rhetoric, which Djokovic explicitly expressed in an interview in April 2020 against vaccines. If he is allowed to stay in Australia, it will encourage the arrogance of Anti-Vaccine activists in Australia.
Djokovic's lawyer said that Djokovic's remarks in April 2020 were made under specific background conditions, and Minister Hawke did not take into account the background of the article. And since then, Djokovic has publicly clarified his position, he is "open to vaccines" and will "choose the most beneficial outcome for his body".
Hawke's lawyer said that if Djokovic was willing to be vaccinated, he could definitely be vaccinated on his terms. Deyo's application for medical exemption was that he had a second infection on December 16 last year, and for a long time before that, Deyo had the opportunity to get vaccinated.
In the end, the judge adjourned the hearing, saying that he would use the afternoon or evening time to deal with the argument between the two sides, and strive to have a final result this afternoon or tomorrow morning local time.
Lawyers from both sides also said that considering the tight time, they hope to get results today. The Immigration Department said that if they failed, Minister Hawke wanted to know the reason for the failure, while Djokovic lawyers said that if Djokovic won, he hoped to restore Djokovic freedom within 30 minutes, as he did after the first victory.
