The hearing in his case lasted six hours Novak Djokovic. A panel of three judges has examined all sides and for some time now they have withdrawn in order to make their final decision on whether the Serbian tennis player will be deported immediately (and will not be able to enter the country for three years) or will be acquitted and acquired. Eligibility for the Australian Open starting on Monday. As it became known, the decision will be made at 8:45.
The government side claimed before the judges that “Nole” is a symbol for the vaccinators and hurts the influence it has both in Australia and worldwide. This argument was refuted by the defense of the tennis player (who followed the process through zoom) emphasizing that he was never asked for his views on the vaccine, but also that he is the most influential person in his country, where 59% of the population is fully vaccinated.
The government also claimed that a possible entry permit for Djokovic would provoke reactions and possible demonstrations within the country, which has suffered from many lockdowns and strict measures against the spread of the coronavirus, and citizens may react if the green light is given to an unvaccinated athlete. The Serbian lawyers responded that his possible deportation would have the same results and would cause even more damage to Australia’s image worldwide.
