Djokovic's visa cancelled:
Lawyers believe the hearing could be fast-tracked by minimising the length of written submissions and verbal evidence.
This decision followed orders by the Federal Circuit and Family Court on 10 January 2022, quashing a prior cancellation decision on procedural fairness grounds. The move has thrown the world tennis no.1’s quest for a 10th Australian Open into turmoil with the tournament to begin on Monday. If he doesn’t challenge the decision in the courts or is unsuccessful in doing so, he will be immediately deported from the country.Alex Ellinghausen, AP“Today I exercised my power under section 133C of the Migration Act to cancel the visa held by Mr Novak Djokovic on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so.
Two police officers manned the vehicle entrance to the building on Flinders Lane until about 3.45pm, when they drove off without being replaced.Simon Schluter “The government can decide to release him from detention on a bridging visa. That’s a subsequent decision,” he said.Dr Rizvi said if the minister cancels the visa, it would likely be made under his personal powers and the decision would focus on false information provided on Djokovic’s visa form. Under that decision, the minister would consider the cancellation to be in the public’s interest, which would be tested in court.
