That was basically their official explanation. Not because he violated some rules (the court established that the he's done exactly what was told to him). But because of the possibility of "civil unrest". Many observers say that federal officials exploited the outrage of local people "he is allowed to enter not vaccinated, while we are suffering".ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 5:01 pm Serious question. As you say that the tournament is not open for political reasons: do you think that Djokovic not being allowed to enter the country was for political reasons? Why would Australia want to ban Novak? If they wanted, wasn't it like 8 slams too late? And Australia has a very large Serbian migrant population, which says that they are not anti-Serbian (Tomljanovic is of Serbain parents, and almost all Aussie tennis players are from foreing parenets). I am really curious.
But this is one layer of this story. Another layer is that some company digging for natural resources was seen off from Serbia. And this company they say have some connections to Australian PM relative. Whatever was done to Djokovic (they gave him the visa and then basically arrested upon arrival) was a payback.
