This is pretty disgraceful if accurate. Hopefully the attention Djokovic and this situation have created highlights stuff like this as well.

There are 36 refugees at Djokovic’s Park hotel. Some have been stuck in the hotel for eight years and have been treated abhorrently by the state ever since. They deserve the attention and compassion that Djokovic’s brief stay among them is generating.

In case anyone was wondering what a ****wit take on the situation would be like.

The righteous glow when you know you are on the opposite side of Nigel Farages argument.

I don’t get the banana republic reference?

So Novaxx’s entire basis for his exemption was that he had Covid in December.

I don’t get the banana republic reference?

I'm sure Farage didn't either when he made his comment.

Don't know this guy but it seems like a reasonable assessment of the Novax situation.

I've also come across a guy called Ben Rothenberg who seems to be a tennis journalist and is writing a good bit about the case. Anyone know anything about him?

Djokovic wins his appeal. Sounds like the Australian authorities didn’t follow the procedures correctly.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see this carry on.

[Buzzo]

What a shambles.
