Whatever judge(s),elected official(s) or government bureaucrat(s) who were responsible for Djokovic having been told to leave did Australia's reputation huge damage.
Maybe if he said his pronouns were she/her, the outcome would have been different.
It’s their country. He was told not to show if he wasn’t vaccinated. He came anyway, was told to leave, argued about it and ultimately left. It was Djokovic’s choice not to take the shots. It is never anyone’s right to be allowed in a country. And by entering the country after being told not to against the wishes of the government of that country, it was he that released his covid situation. If he had stayed home, no one would have known about it.
“insisting on his rights to medical privacy”
Medical privacy is not a right. It is a legal system within any country that wants to have it. It is a privilege. And in that country, right now, not one they are supporting. It’s their stance, their country. And he knew that before he got on the plane. And whether he was lied to by the tennis association there that had promised him immunity from the law, which they obviously don’t have the authority to do, he should have been clear on that when he boarded the flight. It’s his fault, not Australia.
They are doing what they think is in the best interest of their country and it is openly displayed for everyone. Djokovic tested positive, his last test in December, went to an event which he should not have, and then knowing he would be barred tried to go around the rules. They even allowed him to stay for a while while the court reviewed his protest, which they didn’t have to do. I have no sympathy for him.

They could roll all the tennis players into ditch and light them on fire and I wouldn’t care.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC faces an uncertain future in tennis after his Australian Open fiasco.
By CHARLIE GORDON
Novak Djokovic has been given food for thought on his tennis future after Miami Open tournament director James Blake claimed that he would ‘love’ to see the Serb compete this year...
Miami Open chief James Blake, however, has thrown caution to the wind by claiming that the Serbian extraordinaire would be welcome at the tournament, which runs from March 21-28.
“We’d love to have him, he’s one of the greatest champions we’ve ever had in the sport,” he told the Miami Herald (LINK).
“I believe he will go down as the greatest champion. He still got quite a few more years of being at or near the top of the game...
Amid tightening Covid rules in France, it was speculated that Djokovic would not be allowed to compete in May’s French Open if he refused to budge on his firm stance against being vaccinated.
But he has since been offered hope, with La Gazzetta (LINK) claiming that a Covid infection within six months of the tournament would be enough to earn a Covid passport, which is needed to enter public places...
