Excellent news. Our immigration minister has set the precedent that, with enough money, lying to border officials and providing them with false information is only worth a one year ban. What could go wrong?

In Australian Federal court it was PROVEN that the exemption he got from AUSTRALIA was legit.

That he never lied to Officials. No false information whatsoever.

Propaganda is crazy.

A statement by the (edit: former, not current) minister, from the court documents:

> Further, I have had regard to the fact that he received a letter from Tennis Australia, which was signed by Dr Carolyn Broderick and reviewed by an Independent Expert Medical Review Panel comprised of [names redacted]. I have taken into account that upon receipt of this letter, Mr DJOKOVIC considered that he had a valid medical exemption to come to Australia, and that he would thereafter be entitled to remain in Australia.

Or in other words, our tennis governing body said they wouldn't stop him from playing in their tournament, and he assumed that meant he was cleared to enter the country. As if the highest authority of Australian border security is a fucking sports organisation.

In reality, he was neither vaccinated nor exempt from requiring a vaccination, and yet he declared that he was in his visa application. What is that if not lying?

Facts from official Federal Court documentation: downvoted for "bullying King Nole"

Baseless fabrication that uses CAPITAL letters for EMPHASIS as if that makes their FANFICTION true: blindly accepted and believed

I certainly hope you always declare all the good you buy abroad, wouldn't want to lie on your form.

As pointed out that form that he hadn't been in another country in last 14 days isnt the smoking gun you think it is, given that they had to kick him out for "anti vaxx sentiment" should tell you the lawyers probably know more than you. Also tidbit of info for you, you can verbally correct anything in that form on your arrival, that info might help you one time.

Also the fact that 10 people were granted the exemption but only fuss was made about 1 tells you his status is actually what got him into the mess, if he was a nobody he gets let in like the 9 others.

The prime minister previously spoke positively of the anti vaxxers protesting for their beliefs only to change his tune when he wanted cheap political points ahead of an election to distract from his mishandling of the rapid tests.
