Politics, not public interest, has caused Djokovic’s visa to be cancelled again
The Australian authorities have elected to cancel Novak Djokovic’s visa for a second time, with the Australian Immigration Minister, Alex Hawke, deploying his power to cancel the Serbian’s visa “on health and good order grounds”. Four days ago, I pondered whether this scenario would play out, as the Australian’s Government vaccine dogma has permeated all aspects of society, and that it would not let “an unvaccinated, non-conformist sportsman parade around one of its most proudest cities”.
Consumed by the bio-security state, Australia has – for a long time now – attempted to hammer its population into compliance, without a care in the world for civil liberties, due process, or basic human dignity. This is a nation which once arrested a pregnant mother in her own home for conspiracy to organise an anti-lockdown protest.
Now the land down-under has one of the world’s most high-profile athletes in the world in its iron sights. The name Djokovic carries considerable weight – enough to cause a diplomatic incident and has heightened tensions with Serbia; he has an army of legal experts to send into battle on his behalf, and a bank account enough to fund this campaign perhaps 100 times over.
The Australian Government wants to make an example of Djokovic, just to further let its citizens know who is really calling all the shots. If Djokovic is scalped, then the game is truly up for the people of Australia – if it wasn’t over already.
