Djokovic

I dated a Polish girl who was a homeopath. Her preference towards all things natural was so interweaved with spirituality it was equivalent to a strong, principled religious belief.

Very deep belief in something will motivate a person.

In fairness it looked like the exemption would be granted and he was all set, I don't think he expected so much trouble. If it were a clear no in advance maybe he'd have gotten vaccinated. He did say he would 'have to consider it' in that case.

You could argue that a man in his position could have 'got vaccinated' without actually getting vaccinated if you know what I mean.

Admitting he didnt isolate after positive test result and the agent gets the blame for the travel declaration "administrative error". Oh dear.

Nah. Thats pure scumbag behaviour not isolating when you know you have a positive test. He has now admitted this is true.

If he gets away with lying on his immigration declaration that's amazing. What a complete tool he is for attending public events while positive. The level of entitlement is jaw dropping.

I think that is more than enough to turf him out, but I doubt they will do it. It shows you money can protect you from pretty much anything.

Seriously damaged and tarnished his reputation.

Still people will defend him, he confirmed he was positive and knew and still went to events.

I like how he addresses it as "misinformation" then he has to go on and admit it all....lol

Noone should have to isolate

So basically you are ok with with hospitals collapsing and mass death then 🙄

Yes totally - collapse of civilization should we fail to isolate when we have what is now a glorified flu

I'm also OK with being labelled a "granny-killer" should I fail to wear a mask, or or a "child-killer" should I close the windows in the classroom

🤣

If this is the type of loony stuff being crowbarred into threads like this I think I'll stay away from the main coronavirus threads. Deary me.

he thinks he's above the law cos of his status etc.. I hope Hawke takes him down a peg or 100

What narrative change?

To my knowledge he didnt break any isolation protocols for entry into Australia, what he has or hasnt done in Serbia is irrelevant.

The Australian immigration (or other) authorities have no jurisdiction for transgressions outside Oz, so unless Djokovic broke protocol in Australia he should be allowed to enter and play.

He/his agent lied on the form...or did you miss that part?

I wonder is there a section that states you filled it out yourself that would be signed. Like with the did you pack your own bags ?

Imagine getting stopped by Aussie border patrol and blaming your mammy for filling out the form wrong

The Australian authorities don't care who filled out the form, or whether any false information was included dishonestly or just carelessly. They just care about whether the information is correct or false. Damage to Djokovic's public reputation may be limited by blaming the hired help but, from a legal point of view, that's irrelevant.

If the government don't have him turfed out then all the efforts to keep people on board with restrictions will be difficult.

They now also have issue where he lied on immigration forms, the old excuse about someone else filling it out can't fly or it makes a total laugh out of their immigration service and rules.

Also the tournament organisers should at this stage beg for him to be turfed out or the tournament will turn into a shyte show with his supporters rioting with pro lockdown/pro vaccine and anti Serb opponents.

There wouldn't be riots at a tennis tournament over covid restrictions you're dreaming

There appeared to be no danger up until yesterday at least of sponsors pulling the plug, but I wonder will Hublot's LVMH parent want to be associated with him?

And then what about Lacoste or Peugeot ?

It has probably worked out conveniently for Australia's ANZ Bank and Jacob's Creek that their deals have expired.

Can't see an Australian company want to be associated with him now.
