Australian Border Force cancels tennis player Renata Voracova's visa ahead of Australian Open

A female tennis player from the Czech Republic has had her Australian visa cancelled and is being detained in the same immigration hotel as Serbian star Novak Djokovic.

The ABC can reveal Renata Voráčová, who has already played in a warm-up tournament in Melbourne, was detained by Australian Border Force officials yesterday and taken to the Park Hotel in Carlton.

A government source familiar with the case has confirmed Voráčová was informed by ABF officials she must soon leave the country, but it is still unclear if she intends to challenge the decision.

Voráčová is believed to have entered Australia last month with a vaccine exemption granted by Tennis Australia because she had recently contracted and recovered from COVID-19.

Czech diplomats are believed to be in contact with the 38-year-old player, but the country's embassy in Canberra is yet to comment publicly.

The ABC has approached the Home Affairs Minister's office for comment.

The Australian government found another tennis player to deport from the Australian Open. How can anyone run an international sporting event in a country like that?

Australia has a lot of creepy venomous critters slithering around. And I’m not talking about the wildlife.

They’re probably OK with a transgender manbeast playing against women.

Nice to see that they still have a sense of humor about what they name the events.

Australia would be a very easy country to invade, conquer and enslave.

They don’t have enough freedom loving patriots.

A few Chinese or Russian battalions could take that country with ease. /spit.

One of my lifetime dreams was to visit Australia.
I guess, I will die without fulfilling this one!

So she has better antibodies and protection than those vaccinated, but that’s unacceptable. Got it.

Seems like that’s already been accomplished.

This morning on FOX, Steve Ducey likes to claim that he had covid, but now has omicron but he still needs more shots because I guess that natural immunity does not last. Since he got those shots he seems to be sick a lot.

He has no understanding that the clot shots destroy the natural immune system and make people more prone to get all types of diseases.

What’s the point of someone who already caught the current variant getting another shot against a long-extinct variant that doesn’t provide a good antibody response against the current version?
If the shots were being updated there might an argument for getting them (voluntarily), but this is like having the flu and then getting the flu shot from 2 years ago.

Since drug companies and government agencies keep us from knowing what we are being shot up with, there is no way to know anything about what they come up with next.

I will believe nothing any of these people do, say, or command us to do. They are liars and political shysters.

Australians surrendered their freedoms when they surrendered their firearms - so, they get what they deserve. Stupid is as stupid does.

We were fortunate to visit Australia and New Zealand in the mid 90s before they became medical dicktatorships.
