“Rules are rules” – Morrison defends Djokovic’s visa rejection
Tennis player Novak Djokovic has arrived in Australia but has to leave soon. After his visa was revoked, he was taken to a quarantine hotel in Melbourne’s Carlton district on Thursday. There he has to wait for his departure. Prime Minister Scott Morrison: “Rules are rules. And there are no special cases.” The fans of the world number one don’t think that’s good at all. In front of the quarantine hotel they expressed their displeasure: “Thank you Australia for locking him up like a refugee or a criminal. Thank you, really.” “We came here to support him. It’s just not fair and discriminatory.” Djokovic does not want to reveal his vaccination status, but still wants to participate in the Australian Open. Due to a lack of evidence, an exemption from the compulsory vaccination was canceled. The tennis star wants to apply for an injunction against the decision, say people familiar with the matter from the Australian Open.
