Greek Minister of Immigration Alex Jodz Hawk is the man who will decide the fate of Novak Djokovic.
Alex George Hawk, on his mother’s side, is originally from Thessaloniki and, in fact, from time to time, in interviews, he states that he is proud of her family but also a fan of Greek cuisine.
“Whatever stone you lift, you will find a Greek,” says the popular proverb and is confirmed in the case of Novak Djokovic.
Minister Alex George Hawke is the one who will decide whether to turn on the green light να for the Serbian tennis player to claim his 10th title at the Australian Open.
Elected with the liberal party, but also the orchestrator of his right turn, a politician has Greek blood in his veins.
One of the few Greek words that the Greek-Australian knows is the word “grandmother” as his grandmother, from the moment, at the age of ten, he lost his mother to cancer, was for him something like a second mother.
“She made wonderful meatballs and cookies. Everything he did he did with love. “I will not find better food than this”, he has stated in an interview on the expatriate website “Neos Kosmos”.
Alex Hawke’s mother and her parents went to Australia aboard the Anna Salen. They were born in Chortiatis, Thessaloniki.
“My family is part of the great history of Australian immigration after World War II. I pay tribute to my grandparents who worked so hard in a new land. They managed to keep the family together in difficult times “, he states, among other things, on his personal website and adds that his beloved grandmother voted for Labor until he ran for the Liberal party.
Alex George Hawk maintains excellent relations with the Greek community in Australia. He is upset that he does not speak Greek but does not hide his desire to visit the land of his ancestors with his family.
At the political level, the Greek-Australian politician has strong views on border protection.
In fact, hundreds of visa applications have been rejected or revoked in his day.
The 44-year-old is considered one of the most active members of the Morrison Government. At times he has expressed his opposition to same-sex marriage because he believes it undermines the institution of the traditional family.
In a recent interview on the website “Neos Kosmos”, the 44-year-old politician is in favor of vaccination but also in favor of the harsh restrictions imposed by Australia regarding the pandemic.
Alex George Hawke began his political career with the Liberal Youth, of which he was president for some time. He was first elected to Parliament in 2007.
He served in the royal army for six years and rose to the rank of lieutenant.
He has also served as Assistant Minister of Defense but also Minister of International Development and Pacific, Special Minister of State and Deputy Minister of Immigration and Border Protection.
The minister who will judge whether or not Novak Djokovic stays in Australia, even though he grew up as a Protestant, has spent most of his life in Greek Orthodox churches as for his beloved grandmother, as he said in an interview, “the church was her life”.
Maybe if his grandmother was alive she would speak to him in favor of the Serbian tennis player, who has not hidden his relationship with religion.
