‘What more could this man have done?’ Judge asks lawyer
The judge presiding over Djokovic’s case, Anthony Kelly, questioned what more the tennis player could have done to ensure his entry to Australia.
The court heard before and after arriving at Tullamarine airport in Melbourne, Mr Djokovic had a medical exemption from a professor and an “eminently qualified physician” to support his claim he had a medical contraindication to a COVID-19 vaccination.
He was also separately given an exemption by an independent expert panel established by the Victorian government, Judge Kelly said.
“The point I’m somewhat agitated about is what more could this man have done?” the judge said.
Mr Djokovic’s lawyer Nicholas Wood, SC, said what “emerges with utmost clarity” from the transcripts and recordings of his client’s interaction with border officials is “he had done absolutely everything that he understood was required in order for him to enter Australia”.
Mr Wood said Mr Djokovic provided the evidence required to support his declaration when he applied for the exemption.
Mr Wood said the federal government “thought he was ok to come” by granting him a visa initially.
When he encountered issues in Melbourne, the court heard Mr Djokovic was mystified, saying words to the effect of,“If there has been an error, I don’t understand what it is” and he indicated he wanted to speak to a lawyer.
Judge Kelly said in effect, Mr Djokovic told officials he would never have come to Australia if he did not think he could not have gained entry.

The judge presiding over Novak Djokovic’s legal case has order the star be taken from his detention hotel; to a location where he can watch the hearing and questioned “what more could this man have done”.
Judge Kelly told the court that Djokovic had a medical exemption from a professor and an eminently qualified physician.
“Further, that medical exemption and basis on which it has been given was separately given by an independent … panel established by the Victorian state government,: Judge Kelly said.
“That document was in the hands of the delegate (Home Affairs).
“What more could this man have done?”.
Judge Kelly said Djokovic had been “quite candid” in interviews with the delegate.
“In effect, (he) wouldn’t even have come here” if he didn’t have everything needed to get into the country, the judge said.
Judge Kelly said he was somewhat “agitated” by Djokovic’s situation regarding his medical exemption, as provided by independent medical panels for both Tennis Australia and the Victorian Government.
The highly anticipated court case between Djokovic and the Minister for Home Affairs, Karen Andrews, is being conducted by remote access technology.

The verdict
Judge Kelly, at 5.16pm, ordered that:
â—¼ï¸ The Border Force delegate’s decision to cancel
Djokovic’s visa be quashed.
â—¼ï¸ The government pay Djokovic’s costs and any reserve costs.
â—¼ï¸ The Minister must release him “immediately” from immigration detention. This must occur within 30 minutes from 5.16pm, so 5.46pm.
â—¼ï¸ Djokovic’s passport and all other personal effects be returned to him “as soon as reasonably practicable” after the order is made.
â—¼ï¸ The Minister must concede that the Border Force delegate’s decision to proceed with interviewing Djokovic and cancelling his visa was “unreasonable”.
â—¼ï¸ That was because Djokovic was told at 5.20am on Thursday, 6 January that he could have until 8.30am to respond to the notice of intention to cancel his visa, but his comments were sought at 6.14am, the delegate made a decision at 7.42am and he was denied the chance to make comments until 8.30am.
â—¼ï¸ If Djokovic was given until 8.30am, he could have made submissions after consulting lawyers and Tennis Australia.

Immigration minister will not decide to cancel visa again tonight
By Anthony Galloway
Immigration Minister Alex Hawke will not make a decision on whether to cancel Djokovic’s visa tonight.
Mr Hawke had four hours to use his personal power under the Migration Act if the government wanted to try to keep the tennis champion in detention.
But the government has decided to not make a decision within the four-hour period, meaning Djokovic is free to leave.
It is expected Mr Hawke will make a decision on whether to cancel his visa as early as tomorrow.

‘Powers are for criminals, not political problems’: Former Australian tennis player and MP John Alexander
Former Australian tennis player and the federal member for Bennelong John Alexander says ministerial powers to cancel visas should be reserved for criminals, not the “political problem of the day”.
In a post on his Facebook page, the Liberal politician said Novak Djokovic appeared to have complied with all the health entry requirements, and he did not seem to present an unreasonable risk to Australia.
“So would be the ‘public interest’ the Minister could potentially use to exercise his personal powers to deport our defending Australian Open champion?” Mr Alexander said.
“Retaining the Australian Open as a grand slam event, I would argue, is in our national interest.
The Minister’s ‘personal powers to cancel visas’ are designed to prevent criminals otherwise walking our streets, or to prevent a contagious person otherwise walking our streets; they’re not designed to assist in dealing with a political problem of the day.”
