I don't agree with Djokovic's claims either BUT when a Federal judge made a determination it was then time to just accept that determination and move on. Ministers should only override such judicial decisions in extremely rare circumstances and this is not one of them.

COVID has also moved on and as Scomo says, what may have been a good strategy a few weeks ago may no longer be relevant. Everyone is getting exposed to COVID now so last month's rules aren't completely relevant.

Regardless of what determination Hawke now makes, he's painted Australia as a global CLOWN. Hawke's idiocy places the Future of the Australian Open AT RISK!!! Other countries are actively competing for a tennis Grand Slam hosting opportunity.

Is Hawke working for the ALP? The answer is no but he may as well be. From a voter's perspective Hawke brings into clear focus the inability of Government to make timely decisions and to "think ahead" on issues relating to COVID.

I suspect there is more to this than is currently known by the general public. I'm in full support of Hawke taking his time to uncover the facts and make a ruling based on the facts. I also suspect that if it is cancelled, most of the world will see that it is the right thing to do.
