Australia set to screw over America's Greatest Competitive Surfer of All Time, Kelly Slater…

No. Hawaii lets you come in with a negative test if you are not vaccinated. It also recognizes proof of prior infection, and accepts natural immunity.

I just came back from there, and only had to prove I had it, which I did.

I doubt he'll have problems with them. They are strict, but somewhat sane.

It's great to see him pushing back.

I've watched his career (was a surfer, still do so occasionally). Tom Brady calls him the world's best athlete.

I have to agree.

Novak met all the requirements but then when he landed in Australia they imprisoned him in a quarantine hotel and even after Novak win in court the Australian government made a political decision to punish him. I’ve also read in numerous news articles that several other players are in the same circumstance but they were allowed to stay because they were not “tall poppies.”

That’s totalitarianism.

I am done arguing with a propagandist. You got some issues.

You are wrong. I met Canadians and other nationalities there in the early winter.

But clearly you can't see very well.

Somehow you think we haven't seen the violence unleashed against your own people by your government, the police are just wonderful there.

And yes, we're not far behind, but what I've seen happen there is ten times worse than anything here.

Keep pretending you live in a "conservative state".

Yes, we're laughing at you. Not even California and New York were as bad as what happened in Australia.

First, where did you meet Canadians and other nationalities in early winter that were unvaccinated (unless they were illegal immigrants let in freely)? Can't you read you own country's immigration rules? And now Hawaii, for example is considering that domestic visitors, even vaccinated Americans will have to have a third booster shot to travel to Hawaii.
https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/hawaii-travel-covid-booster-shot/index.html

"(CNN) — Hawaii may soon require travelers arriving from other US states and territories to have a Covid booster shot if they want to travel to the islands without quarantine or testing requirements. Gov. David Ige said on a recent livestream show with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser newspaper that his office is considering changing its definition of "fully vaccinated" from two doses of an approved Covid vaccine to three. That could mean that domestic travelers who have not had booster shots may have to take a Covid-19 test before arriving in Hawaii or isolate for five days upon arrival in Hawaii at their own expense."" Both the USA and Canada only allow vaccinated foreigners to visit, unless they have a very special exemption. And in Canada you cannot even ride a train without being vaccinated. And you do not know what you are talking about if you thinks things are worse in Australia than the USA. In New York the governor forced people into age homes with Covid and killed thousands of aged people. Same thing in New Jersey. In New York and New Jersey the state police were arresting people for trying to operate businesses and dragging them out of their premises.

The USA has a Federal mandate that all health care workers are vaccinated. In Australia the only Federal mandate is for aged care workers. The mandates in California and New York were far more draconian than in Australia. Your schools were closed and still are in those blue states, our schools in most states remained opened. Victoria, though, is indeed like California.

In the USA your FBI is investigating parents for protesting a school board meetings. You have political prisons run by your own Nation's police. People are locked up without due process, just for trespassing, and your FBI has scared all of you so much, many Americans are afraid to even protest now.

So tell me what happened here that is ten times worse than the USA? Our Federal police are not terrorizing the population with a Justice Department that resembles the Soviet Union. You really do not have a clue about Australia. You are living in a police state in the USA under Biden who is controlled by the CCP.

He did not meet all the requirements. Talk about a propagandist, take a look in the mirror. I think the immigration rules here are stupid and Novak should have been let in, but he violated a number of immigration rules. The one judge, just like you have in the USA and happens all the time, ruled in his favor, but the three higher level justices voted unanimously that he should not be let in. Since you have “read” that so many other players were let in under the same circumstances, can you please give me those references?

Novak doesn't have many friends with his fellow tennis players, I don't think it should have kept him from playing, but he is so arrogant is doesn't help hims. Talk about issues, some people believe anything they read on the internet on a blog.

Tell me how great New York and California's police in handling Covid protesters and just regular people trying to do ordinary things. This was just today.

Police in California arrest people at Republican meeting:

Canada is much worse than Australia, where are all the protests about Canada? The unvaccinated cannot even ride in a train in Canada. And police have been vicious in arresting vaccine protesters, even religious minister and Quebec is awful.

Are you maybe a CCP informant?

Seems to me that you are supporting your Soviet Union style government. Pointing out what you think is bad in Australia when things are already been taken over in the USA, led by Biden and his family's connection to the CCP. You probably are learning a lot about communism.

Get over Australiababe, The governments of Australia and America suck and we need to fix them.

I’ve never been the type of person that, in the face of abuse, can fold and learn to accept their abuser’s torments and confuse it with love. How do you do it?

If I took the entire weekend, I would not be able to cover all the reasons that...I am shocked and thoroughly disappointed in Australia.

I thought they were thoughtful and reasonable people.

Boy, was I wrong.

If it’s just the government that’s nuts, the citizens better take some kind of control
