Hawke says Djokovic ‘perceived by some as a talisman of a community of anti-vaccine sentiment’
Novak Djokovic
Djokovic faces a federal court hearing Sunday morning, Australia time, which will determine whether the minister acted unreasonably in rescinding his visa.Documents filed in the court reveal the minister’s reasons sent to Djokovic as justification for cancelling his visa. Djokovic’s visa was cancelled under the extraordinary and broad powers vested in the Australian immigration minister under section 133C of Australia’s Migration Act, introduced in 2014 when Scott Morrison, the current prime minister, was immigration minister.
Djokovic’s legal team argued the minister failed to consider that the government’s detention of Djokovic and his potential forced removal from Australia might also incite anti-vaccination sentiment.
