Thread Name: BS: Aus Open without Djokovic
Subject: RE: BS: Aus Open w/, w/out Djokovic
the latest from The Guardian - quote from his lawyers - Irrational' for minister not to consider anti-vax consequences of Djokovic deportation. Wood is developing the argument that the minister should have considered the consequences of deporting Djokovic on anti-vaccination sentiment.

latest from ABC - 6 mins ago - Lawyer says BBC article on Djokovic's views supports Minister's case. Mr Lloyd says the Minister obviously read the BBC article that Djokovic’s lawyers have used to argue there was a lack of evidence to cancel the visa. He also points to a line in the story that says anti-vaccine groups have treated Djokovic as a “hero or as an icon of free choice”. He says that's something that formed part of the Minister's considerations.

Both articles have live updates

one of my favourite quotes from earlier discussion answered the question "What else could he have done?" ans. Get vaccinated.
