Japan isn’t the only one looking forward to moving on from COVID… Yesterday, Tennis Australia boss Craig Tiley confirmed that Novak Djokovic wants to come to Melbourne to play in the Aussie Open next year. That’s an issue because of the way things went down in January… As you’d remember, he was deported over his vaccination status – as in he’s not vaxxed against the coronavirus – which has seen him miss 2 grand slam tournaments this year. And after being booted from our shores, he was handed an automatic 3-year ban from re-entering. Djokovic can reapply for a visa, and then it will be up to Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to give him the green light. His office wouldn’t comment on it yesterday, but Coalition frontbencher Dan Tehan said any application from the world #7 player should be rejected. “As a tennis lover, I’d love to see him there… But the most important thing here is that we protect the integrity of our immigration system,” Tehan said.
