Alex Hawke's statement about Djokovic

"Today I exercised my power under section 133C(3) of the Migration Act to cancel the visa held by Mr Novak Djokovic on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so.

"This decision followed orders by the Federal Circuit and Family Court on 10 January 2022, quashing a prior cancellation decision on procedural fairness grounds.

"In making this decision, I carefully considered information provided to me by the Department of Home Affairs, the Australian Border Force and Mr Djokovic.''

But border guards rejected the documents and tore up his visa, with the multiple Grand Slam winner thrown into detention while he waited for his appeal to come before the courts.

Judge Anthony Kelly in a hearing that took place earlier on Monday Januray 10, dramatically quashed the decision to revoke Djukovic’s visa after ruling that border guards had been 'unreasonable' and had not given the Serb enough time to appeal.
