The federal court in Victoria, Australia, has not yet made a final decision on the future of senior tennis player Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, after his visa was revoked for the second time over the weekend.
The case was adjudicated overnight by a panel of judges headed by James Slope.
The judges listened at length to both sides.
The representative of the Australian Minister of Immigration, Advocate Steven Lloyd, claimed that Djokovic expressed positions that were perceived as supporting opposition to the corona vaccine and thereby endangering the public health of the country, and therefore his visa was revoked.
On the other hand, the Serb's defense attorneys claimed that Australia had achieved the opposite goal for itself, and in the drastic step it took against Djokovic, it united behind it the vaccine opponents who thus gained a windfall.
The Honorable Judge Slope stopped the hearing after several hours, dispersed those present in the courtroom and announced that he and his friends would convene in the coming hours behind closed doors to consider the claims of both parties.
It seems that during the day the final decision will be made by the federal court, which will determine on the eve of the opening of the Australian Open, whether Djokovic will board the pitch or the first plane to Serbia.
