Formal inquiry on the way?
When history looks back upon the 2019 – Covid years, tennis star Novak Djokovic’s attempt to play in Melbourne will be a defining chapter.
The Serbian flew to Australia, well over a week ago, after the country’s tennis association promised him a waver as he is unvaccinated. Prime Minister Scott Morrison saw this as an affront to his constituents being locked into their homes early and often so denied the visa. Djokovic’s team fought back, telling a judge that he did not have to be vaccinated since he had recently had the disease. The judge agreed and his visa was given back until today when Australia’s immigration minister, Alex Hawke, ripped it up again and detained Djokovic in a cell ahead of a hearing that will likely see him forcibly evicted.
According to The Guardian, “The Djokovic visa snub was released in time for the main TV news bulletins on Friday and, they had hoped, late enough to limit the tennis champ’s lawyers chances of getting a judge to re-hear his case. While that hope proved unfounded, the government believes a court could only examine the probity of immigration minister Alex Hawke’s use of his power to withdraw a visa, not whether Djokovic deserved to be punted. However, the damage to Australian tourism and Australian sport caused by a single, stubborn tennis player and a hesitant federal government could require a formal inquiry to sort out.”
Even more damage has been done, though, to Kelly Slater’s 12th World Title campaign.
The world’s greatest surfer, too, has been vocal about his vaccine skepticism. With Djokovic re-receiving capital punishment, and possibly unable to re-enter Australia for three years, it is highly unlikely that Slater will be able to compete in the Australian leg of the Championship Tour this April.
No Bells.
No Margaret.
And while, theoretically, he could use those as his throw aways, it will not make his pathway to glory any easier.
12 fading before our very eyes.
Rats.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is part of some kind of mind fuck game by Kelly, he’s probably fully vaxed already
Let the sun beat down upon my face.
Maybe one day I’ll procrastinate work by compiling an alternative world title spreadsheet. A slightly more productive use of time than playing minesweeper.

Man no matter how much shit you throw at the GOAT his surfing remains at bench mark level , you would be better of slinging shit at the not even close to second tier so called pro,s that are really just social media fodder.
What a banger!!
Spellchecker fail? I think you meant vaccination.
Tony likes them young. Dirty, dirty old man.
Your voice is heard
almost a step up from the corgis favoured by the monarchy.
Does this mean we’ll be getting another environmentally sustainable, fold-out recycled paper Outerknown catalog in our mailboxes soon?… The Spring 2022 Anti-Vax collection featuring organic cotton SS tees in 48 color selectios for just $69.99 ?…
As amusing as it is too read Kelly being compared to Djokovic let’s just stop for a second and compare prize money earned between the two.
Kelly who??
The real story here is that throwaway results are stupid. In all serious sports, bad results hurt.
Anyone heard a word from John Alexander?? Of course not. The only sports person in that whole building. Staying “on message” and enjoying the perks and benefits of retirement on our behalf. Politicians are the most disgusting POS ever to breathe.

Pro-jab kooks all suck the pus from dead dogs dicks…
How did you know about dead dogs having pus dicks and why did you think immediately of sucking?
It’s called poetry…
That’s a bit harsh
They are the victims and did it in good faith.
It’s the ones that take shits on people who didn’t comply that can suk a dik.
Through poetry I’m referring to the ones who are still continuously raa-raaa-ing on about how those who haven’t had multiple jabs are endangering the lives of those who have had multiple jabs.
Through poetry…
More suffocating than Delta.
Go fund me?
Giant rum rations are the only answer to curing all that ails us, except for the vomitous and violent reaction that comes when seeing images or reading headlines about Kelly Loves Kelly, kaiZuck, and JOBlookatme.
Oh… White Hawaiians living at corporate owned beachfront properties is also vomitous, but what is the answer? More rum I guess.
NonJohn has had extra rations today. His bilge is full.
You prefer tops?
