Minister Alex Hawke, who should decide whether to deport Novak Djoković, has not yet made a final decision! And when and whether he will do that at all, is not known...
The drama about the deportation of Novak Djoković continues! The "dragging" of the Serbian tennis player has been going on for days, and the media in Australia start the day with the news "The Minister postponed the decision on Novak".
It was the same this morning, when a final decision was announced, which, according to the announcements, was bad for Novak. It was hinted that this would be the case when the start of the draw for the Australian Open was postponed, because it was expected that Djoković would be deported, so that the draw would then take place.
However, at the conference of Prime Minister Scott Morrison, nothing epochal happened, he just said that Minister Hawke is still "weighing in".
Now the Australian "The Age" reports, citing a source from the federal authorities, that Minister Hawke has postponed the decision again!
He has two options on the basis of which he could theoretically revoke Djoković's visa, but rumors seem to be coming from Australia that Hawk himself is not sure what the smart thing to do is at this moment.
The problem for the authorities there is that even if Hawke made a decision on deportation, Novak would have the right to appeal, so the court would make the final decision again. And that court has already released the Serb once, so the authorities there are afraid that a new defeat in court could strike a big blow, in addition to shame which is guaranteed.
