    Minister cancels Djokovic Australian visa


    Officials looked into potential discrepancies on Djokovic's declaration form, which stated he did not travel out of the country in the two weeks before his flight to Australia.

    Djokovic's lawyers, who are likely to challenge the latest cancellation in court, have provided lengthy submissions and supporting documentation to the minister.

    Djokovic has denied he was trying to mislead the government on the form, stating an agent had made an "administrative mistake" while filling out the form.

    The minister can't use: "he's not double vaxxed" to cancel his visa because that's already been resolved in the court.

    So, the question for the courts will be:

    1. "Is it reasonable to cancel someone's visa due to an honest mistake made on the form?" and...

    2. "Would Djokovic's had been denied a visa if the form was filled in correctly?"


    Hmmm, I wonder how many tennis players visited other countries before coming here?
