Happy he gets to pay for the costs as well. Mere mortals do not get three high court judges out on Sunday - That cost a lot. Unlike me working to day for free

What intrigued me about the judgement was the judges' veiled swipe at the competence of Djokovic's legal team. The judges said “These grounds focus on whether decision was for different reasons irrational or legally unreasonable. It is no part or function of the court to decide upon the merit or wisdom of the decision.”... Perhaps a legally trained member can comment, but it seems that they were being given a lesson on hows and whys of the Federal Court....(how embarrassing!) I wonder if they'll reduce their fees accordingly!

3 x Federal Court Judges (including Chief Justice Allsop).

Makes you proud to be an Australian

With a government that embarrasses us all

Invite the bloke over, give him a visa, wait till he arrives, then send him home

What a joke

I'm still proud to be an aussie. Dont see it as a joke at all, the court agreed with the government.

Funny how a few days ago the government got bagged because they lost his appeal with costs. Glad as a tax payer I'm not paying for 3 judges to sit on a sunday .

I’m proud to be an Australian
Not proud of the government

The government departments get together and set the rules, then when it doesn’t suit for whatever reason they change them and make them look like fools

Novak should have the right to seek compensation for the balls up

The good thing about living in a democracy is he has the right to do that thru the due process. If he does and he wins then so be it .
Funny how when the rules fall one way one side of the fence is happy , when they dont then the other side is.

I'm sure Novak has the money and the lawyers to do as you say but....

I for 1 am keen to see how many other countries now stand up to him and other sports / celebrities who dont comply with the rules now that this has happened.

It’s not a game of who stands up to who and who doesn’t comply with the hypocritical rules
He applied for the visa, he was approved within the rules, arrived and when the powers above realised who he was, they found a loophole to reject his application after it was approved
It’s more about people’s opinions and how they can change the rules to suit their agenda

Gotta love those Ministerial powers. Got a feeling THEY will come home to roost. Canaries have more sense.

Of course it’s a game of who comply,s with the rules hypocritical or not. Read my original post in the beginning of this thread and I say he should not have been issued the visa to start with.

I didn’t think the courts were influenced by people’s opinions, and early in this thread when he won his appeal plenary were of the opinion the court approach was fair ruling... well guess what , the court ruled and he lost this time .

I have taken the government .. well actually the Australian fish management authority (AFMA) to the high court and I won my case, but I wasn’t awarded costs and it nearly broke me but I had the option to do that under the rules , no different to Djokovic, only I couldn’t afford to do it on on a normal work day let alone a Sunday.
