If he has the wrong visa, surely he can leave Australia, apply for the correct visa, then fly back

He has appealed, I'm in the process of clapping slowly until the result comes back

Yeah whole thing is weird, Novax must have a valid exemption reason unless the process was corrupt, and as much as I would love to know the exemption reason it's a private matter he has no obligation to make it public

Coming from someone who's not a fan of the guy lol

From what I read, federal govt is ok processing the visa, but the exemption must be approved by the state (Victoria), which they apparently refuse to do. So they get to point fingers at each other saying it's the other party's fault.

This seems like the proper thing to do but with all the political **** going on I have no idea what’s going to happen.

Point the finger at the effing idiot. I guess these guys really do get a Henry VIII syndrome. "The country is on lock down? They are imposing strict adherence to their citizens? They are playing hardball with entry into the country? How is this relevant? I mean, they know who I am, right?"

LOL. I hope this guy invents 10 different ways to not take the grand slam record. Upsets, injuries, DQs, get the F out of our country vax nincompoop, beaten by better players very soon, screwed by judges, etc. etc. I'm not all against the guy, love seeing the race and love his game and how he overcame early career brain cramps, but he's just asking for this abuse.

yeah i read that the tournament gave him an exemption, but the country never did to allow him in, so here we are
him thinking he could just roll up and bully his way in

the way some of you were talking i figured in was more complicated than:

Throw him in the gulag for a year with no concern for what diseases anybody there is carrying ... TB, AIDS, hepatitis, Covid. Where he can convince everybody of the special treatment he's deserving of. Maybe throw in that civil forfeiture confiscation of his entire net worth. Let him out with $10 and "Thanks for coming, we hope you learned something from your stay."

To get a grasp how Victoria handles sports stars, see the situation with Jamie Kah.
