He should have said he had flown to Australia to get his eyes tested.
Problem solved.
He was invited by the tournament organisers AFAIK.
You'd have expected them to know it could cause issues .

Apparently the international tennis association (whatever they’re called) tried to self certify him as medically exempt thinking they could blag him in only to get there and it wouldn’t wash. Basically everyone involved thought they were exempt from the same controls as normals because of who they were. That will learned them.

I don’t agree with anti-vaxxers at all but I respect their right to be idiots.
Ok, at what number of vaccinations do we turnaround and commit to normality?
The Government is relaxing testing requirements, reducing testing from travellers, reducing the self-isolation period. With that in mind, you’d think our Government is more or less ready to ‘live with COVID’.
The NHS will be strained, but every flu season strains the NHS - something I remember reading about doing my A-Levels.

“I know some people that, through energetical transformation, through the power of prayer, through the power of gratitude, they managed to turn the most toxic food, or maybe most polluted water into the most healing water, because water reacts. Scientists have proven that in experiment, that molecules in the water react to our emotions to what has been said,” Djokovic said.

He advised Tennis Australia why he should be exempted from the requirements for an Australian visa. They accepte dthis as gospel but the federal government are actually ones who control entry to the country asked for proof that backs up his medical exemption. He was unable or unwilling to so they refused him entry as is the right of any government in control their own borders.
fuck the horrid weird c**t anyway

It looks to me like the Australian Open tennis organisers gave him an exemption to compete in the tournament, and then the Australian Government were like hold on a minute, we haven't given him permission to enter the country.

Due to magical covid infection in December that nobody knew anything about

It would appear he’s claiming he tested positive in December - there is some debate about that

So he's using the previous infection excuse for exemption in a country what only allows an exemption for previous infection for it's own citizens and not foreigners?

tbf, the tennis authorities classed such a thing as a valid reason to get an exemption. It appears at first glance that they may have been a bit lax, in their desperation to get the stars into the country.

The Federal governments argument is they control the borders and a 2nd player has had their visa cancelled over the same thing. Yeah Tennis Australia seem to have been granting exemptions it shouldn't of granted.

This is an interesting read, nothing suspicious at all about the date of his claimed positive test and subsequent negative test:

There is something almost poetic here if he has actually been bundled in a van and taken away.

Could be but there was also absolute uproar from Australians when they thought he was getting an exemption. Given that fully vaccinated Australian citizens have struggled to get into the country over the last couple of years given how tight the rules are / were not surprising they weren't happy when an anti-vaxxer looked like he was being waved through.

The hypocrisy of him demanding an Eastern European be let into another country is off the scale.
