"The unvaccinated tennis star was deported for fear that his presence would 'excite anti-vaccination sentiment'
Unvaccinated tennis star Novak Djokovic is reportedly in talks to sue the Australian government for the equivalent of $4.4 million after recently being deported from the country for fear that his presence would "excite anti-vaccination sentiment." What's the background?
Djokovic, the world's No. 1 tennis player, was stopped at the Australian border and held in immigration detention earlier this month upon his arrival in Melbourne ahead of the 2022 Australian Open.
Despite being unvaccinated against COVID-19..."

Okay, Phil Silver, first of all NOBODY is ‘vaccinated’ because there is no covid vaccine. Just because they call it that doesn’t mean that is what it is. Second of all, you are a sheeple for using that phrase so often. REAL vaccines do not require masking, distancing or ‘boosters’ and you can’t get what you took them for moron. They also take 10 YEARS on average to develop, not 9 months. Nobody is anti-vaccine, as we all had real ones as kids and those worked (and nobody had heart problems either). Lastly, you should be fired.
another aspect of the Djokovic/Australia saga that has been getting more attention:
22 Jan: Daily Mail: Serbia revokes Australian company’s mining licences
by Ivana Sekularac, Reuters and Stephen Johnson, Economics Reporter For Daily Mail Australia
Serbia has revoked Australian mining giant Rio Tinto’s lithium exploration licences a week after tennis Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic had his visa cancelled...
***Djokovic, who left Australia on Sunday for Dubai, had himself voiced his support for ‘clean air’ in a December Instagram story post...
The mine was forecast to produce enough lithium to power 1million electric vehicles...
Earlier this month, Brnabic had said the project would be likely paused at least until after the elections (in April)...

19 Jan: Alugy: Rio Tinto getting kicked out of Serbia following Novak Djokovic’s deportation from Australia
By Katy Misic
Here is how Rio Tinto, Australian PM and Novak Djokovic are connected...
The man who many in Serbia blamed for Djokovic’s ordeal is the PM of Australia, Scott John Morrison...
In addition, Morrison’s very close associate (Chief of Staff), John Kunkel, was an advisor to Rio Tinto and head of the(ir) department for relations with the Government, and he spent two years there...
Five years fast forward, the people in Serbia have hit the streets to save the Jadar Valley from the extraction and production of lithium, having in mind the consequences Rio Tinto had on the environment wherever it mined.
Novak Djokovic was the biggest name to support these protests...
Tweet: 5 Dec 2021: Sasa Ozmo
#Djokovic speaks in favour of protests in Serbia and against Rio Tinto mining.
“Clean air, water and food are keys to one’s health. Without it, talking about ‘health’ makes no sense”.
PIC MASSIVE PROTEST...
That is why there are more and more comments that Djokovic is just a collateral damage and a “scapegoat” of a political struggle...
Rex Patrick, independent senator for South Australia noted on Sunday: ”I keenly await the decision reasoning of the Full Federal Court in the Djokovic case. Perhaps the biggest loser will be Rio Tinto.”. Looks like he was right...

not only did Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, make a u-turn on EVs in November last year - now supporting them and promising subsidies from taxpayers - much to the surprise of his conservative base - he has a Minister for Indigenous Australians, Ken Wyatt, whose cousin is from the leftwing Labor Party, who was recently appointed to the Rio Tinto Board of Directors:
Rio Tinto: Board of Directors: Ben Wyatt
APPOINTMENT: September 2021
Ben has had a prolific career in the Western Australian Parliament, holding the ministerial portfolios of Treasury, Finance, Energy and Aboriginal Affairs, and becoming the first Indigenous treasurer of any Australian parliament...

He also made history in June when he joined the board of Woodside Petroleum, and in doing so became the first Indigenous board member of an ASX200 company...
He was just pipped to the title of first person in his family to become a government minister by his cousin, Ken Wyatt, who was appointed to (former Liberal Party Prime Minister) Malcolm Turnbull’s frontbench in 2015 (& later named Minister for Indigenous Australians in the Scott Morrison govt)...
When Ben Wyatt decided to leave politics at this year’s March state election, he was courted by a number of corporates keen to have the former lawyer, politician and graduate of the London School of Economics on their team...

(”excite anti-vaccination sentiment.”)
Oh my, personal choice and personal freedom?
How gauche!! How tacky!!
Put him in the comfy chair!
Poke him with the soft pillows!
NOBODY EXPECTS THE COVID INQUISITION!!!
Go for it!
Alex Hawke and his support team seem to be on the illogcal side of the issue.
Not sure about Shill Phiver
Good for him.
Nice to see someone stand up to global bullying.
How does one spread a disease one doesn’t have?
When we got our vaccines as kids, we were not aware of a lot of problems that would start occurring down the road as more and more jabs became “essential”.
I hear the CDC has taken down it’s assertion that jabs don’t cause Autism...
I never was anti-vax but the more I learn, the more prone I am to be vax-leery
Good for him!
