‘ I sort of felt I recognized the tall dude as a tennis player but couldn’t recall his name, so I asked him if he was a tennis player. He told me who his was and we go talking for a little while.

On the Owen Shroyer vid I posted upthread he discusses the attitude of Australians with Evelyn, and how this tournament could have been viewed as an opportunity for Australia with the possibility of sporting history being made – 21 Single Grand Slam titles. Australia could have taken it as an opportunity to showcase to the world that it is open for business and travel again, etc. But no, Australians did the opposite.

This is from the Virology Journal in 2005
Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread
Background
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-CoV). No effective prophylactic or post-exposure therapy is currently available.
********************************
Kaysee, Chloroquine was found to stop Covid-19 in February 2020. A French doctor used it on patients suffering from Covid-19 and he had a 100% recovery rate, this was against the early Alpha version of Covid-19.
Other doctors replicated his work with the same results, then interest grew in other anti parasitical drugs, Hydroxychloroquine and later Ivermectin. They all appear to be successful if used with zinc.

There’s a lot of people out of work as they don’t want the mandated vaxxs, I suppose they would be on the Job Seeker allowance. What will happen to them if the government declares they have to join a “work for the dole” scheme in the supply chain, but can’t get employment as they aren’t jabbed.
Could the government then force them off the dole?
The state and federal governments created this problem, Australia’s population actually dropped last year as those who could leave the country did so. Over 20,000 Australian citizens left permanently, and around 300,000* permanent resident visa holders packed up and left. There’s probably a few Uber drivers in that lot, but also medical, engineering and other skills represented too.

Just on the unvaxxed, I know an 88 year old who is unvaxxed. When I ask what the advice is from his doctor, he says he is always fobbed off to someone else, such as his cardiologist, whom he doesn’t know how to get in touch with. He has about 25% heart capacity left. I expect medical professionals know his heart would not cope with the hit from the Covid vaccines.
Seeing as the average age of a Covid death is still somewhere in the mid eighties, the unvaxxed deaths are likely people on the way out who the vaccines may have killed anyway.

Morrison has picked the wrong battle (again)
Joel Agius
… Instead of cracking down on the insanity of the premiers and gaining the political credit he desperately needs for the upcoming federal election, he has chosen to cause shame and embarrassment. It has made his government even more unelectable, ensuring that the rest of the world looks at us like we are all insane. It would not be surprising if tourists decided to travel elsewhere given how backwards this country is.
The Djokovic saga has only highlighted what is wrong with this country, and what is wrong with this Prime Minister. He lacks the wisdom to pick the right battles to fight. He chooses cowardice over courage. And unless he makes a change immediately, he is doomed for consignment to the dustbin of history as one of the weakest and most ineffectual leaders this nation has ever seen.

Authorities plan to move Djokovic into detention tonight
By Anthony Galloway
Immigration Minister Alex Hawke’s decision means Novak Djokovic could be forced back into immigration detention within hours.
It is unclear whether federal authorities plan to move him back to the Park Hotel in Carlton, where he stayed alongside refugees held in detention until the Federal Circuit Court ordered his release on Monday.
Sources confirmed the plan was to move him back into some form of immigration detention…

Decision to cancel based on Djokovic stoking ‘anti-vax’ sentiment, lawyer claims
By Marta Pascual Juanola
Novak Djokovic’s lawyers claim Immigration Minister Alex Hawke based his decision to cancel the Serbian star’s visa on the basis his presence in Australia would stoke anti-vax sentiment.
Counsel Nicholas Wood, SC, said Mr Hawke had chosen to “remove a man of good standing” from Australia and “impair” his career over comments Djokovic had made in 2020.
“He has no rational basis to say the decision he makes is up to generate a greater amount of anti-vax sentiment that he is seeking to minimise,” he said
9.45pm
The proposed grounds for Djokovic’s challenge
By Tammy Mills and Marta Pascual Juanola
Djokovic’s lawyer Nick Wood, SC, has foreshadowed the grounds on which they could challenge the visa cancellation.
Mr Wood told the court the minister has justified the cancellation on the basis Djokovic’s presence in Australia would excite anti-vaccination sentiment.
He said the minister has given no consideration whatsoever what the forceable removal of Djokovic may have on anti-vaccination sentiment.
Mr Wood described the minister’s justification as “patently irrational”.
Mr Wood said the challenge is a question largely of “interferences to be drawn from the minister’s reasons” and rationality and perversity in approach to his decision-making.

Djokovic will not be detained tonight, or removed from the country after proceedings end

Lawyers ask for Djokovic not to be taken into detention while hearing is on
By Tammy Mills and Marta Pascual Juanola
Novak Djokovic’s legal team has asked that the Serbian tennis star not be detained in immigration detention while the urgent case is heard before the court.
Nicholas Wood, SC, said as well as being left alone tonight, Djokovic should be allowed to be with his lawyers tomorrow after he is interviewed by immigration officers at 8am tomorrow, and then permitted to stay in the same “residential premises” that he is in tonight.
But the lawyer for the Minister for Immigration Stephen Lloyd, SC, said Border Force officials plan to take Djokovic back into detention tomorrow.
Mr Lloyd told the court that after the immigration interview, Djokovic would remain at his lawyer’s office until midday tomorrow before being taken into detention and brought back for a court on Sunday.
Djokovic’s lawyers said they will file their submissions by midday tomorrow.
The court has adjourned for a short time.

Djokovic lawyer warns of security issues
Djokovic’s lawyer Nicholas Wood, SC, asked for Djokovic to be taken into detention in a location other than the immigration office, citing security fears and the possibility of a “media circus” after the location of his interview was broadcast during the proceedings.
“We have a genuine concern about security and a potential media circus, to be frank,” Mr Wood said.
But Judge Anthony Kelly said that could have been brought to his attention sooner.
“The obviousness of that circus might have occurred to everyone before five to 11 on Friday night. Now don’t put this at my feet,” Judge Kelly said.
The Minister for Immigration Stephen Lloyd, SC, said detention arrangements could be agreed between the parties.
“You can’t ask me to broker this,” Judge Kelly said.
He then stood the case down for a short time.

That’s all for tonight
That’s it from us on the live blog tonight after a massive day.
To re-cap, Immigration Minister Alex Hawke cancelled Novak Djokovic’s visa once again, citing health and good order grounds, on the basis it was in the public interest, in a statement just before 6pm.
Djokovic’s lawyers are challenging the decision, telling the Federal Circuit Court this evening the basis of the cancellation was irrational.
The court heard Mr Hawke cancelled the tennis player’s visa on the grounds his presence in Melbourne would “excite anti-vax sentiment”, as Djokovic’s lawyer Nicholas Wood, SC, told the court.
Mr Wood said removing the Serbian tennis star would do exactly the same thing.
Also from tonight’s hearing, we learned Djokovic is not in immigration detention yet, but rather a “residential address”. He will be taken into detention after he is interviewed tomorrow morning at 8am.
The government has given an undertaking that it would not remove Djokovic from the country while the court challenge is afoot.
Djokovic’s lawyers will file a formal application to the court tonight and submissions tomorrow by midday.
The case will be transferred to the Federal Court, which will hold a hearing on Sunday at 10am.
Thanks for reading, and we’ll bring you all the developments over the weekend.
