Novak Djokovic admits to lying on Australian entry declaration in detailed Instagram post

Novak Djokovic has sensationally admitted to lying on his entry declaration, saying “human error” was the cause of his faulty entry declaration – amid growing concerns over the world No.1’s movements around the time of his positive Covid result last December.

Djokovic took to Instagram on Wednesday as he waited for further clearance on his visa application – which was again delayed by a further 24 hours after further submissions from his legal team over a possible cancellation by Immigration Minister Alex Hawke.

But in doing so he made the significant admission that he had incorrectly ticked a box on his entry declaration saying he hadn’t travelled within 14 days of arriving in Australia – when in fact he had been in both Serbia and Spain.

“On the issue of travel declaration, this was submitted by my support team on my behalf – as I told immigration officials on my arrival – and my agent sincerely apologises for the administrative mistake in ticking the incorrect box about my previous travel before coming to Australia.

Having never been to Australia, the AO is the most famous thing I know
or care about as far as Australia is concerned.

And roos.

I don’t count the Melbourne Cup as a sport.

I’ve found myself at it quite a few times and I didn’t see a single horse race :)

I would bet at least 25% of those who have traveled within 14 days lie on that question.

if true, just another shameful event in a long line of shameful events in response to the Wuhan virus:

12 Jan: Daily Mail: Australian government prepares case to DEPORT Novak Djokovic as investigation hones in on ‘inconsistencies’ in his statement - amid concern letting him stay sets a ‘dangerous precedent’
Novak Djokovic may be deported despite winning Federal Circuit Court case
Australian Immigration minister will make a decision on the matter Thursday
Inconsistencies have arisen in the world no. 1 tennis star’s account of events
By LEVI PARSONS
It is understood the government is willing to receive harsh backlash internationally over the issue in order to maintain its ‘tough on Covid’ border stance...

Immigration Minister Alex Hawke is expected to hand down his decision on Thursday with bureaucrats from the Department of Home Affairs’ investigating inconsistencies in the tennis star’s story...

Ministers and advisors within the Morrison government are growing apprehensive about the diplomatic fallout internationally.

But at the same time many feel failing to act would will bring embarrassment on the homefront and undermine Australia’s strong stance on borders as Covid cases continue to spiral.

Either way, policymakers do not want the scandal to drag on any further and have urged on Mr Hawke to make the call as soon as possible.

The Immigration Minister however has quietly rejected their demands and is in the process of examining all of Djokovic’s submissions.
‘Mr Djokovic’s lawyers have recently provided lengthy further submissions and supporting documentation said to be relevant to the possible cancellation of his visa,’ a spokesman for Minister Hawke said.
‘Naturally, this will affect the timeframe for a decision.’...

Learn to speak Mandarin, it’s your future.
Though you’ll likely be a party member, being a statist and apologist.

people have to buy their own rapid antigen tests (despite there being virtually none available), test themselves and then report on themselves!

12 Jan: Daily Mail: Why NSW (New South Wales) Premier Dominic Perrottet’s $1,000 fine for not reporting a positive rapid antigen Covid test result is ‘COMPLETELY unenforceable’
NSW penalties for failing to report positive RAT results labelled ‘unenforceable’
From Wednesday, residents must report the positive result or risk a $1,000 fine
Positive rapid antigen results can be lodged via the Service NSW app or website
Experts argue the rules are ‘very unenforceable’ and difficult for police to prove
Only two groups could be stung - those hospitalised with Covid or share-houses
By MIRIAH DAVIS FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA and SAM MCKEITH FOR AUSTRALIAN AAP
NSW authorities are likely to face an uphill battle trying to implement new ‘very unenforceable’ rules that make it compulsory to report positive rapid antigen test results for Covid-19, a law academic says.

From Wednesday, NSW residents who fail to report positive rapid test results will face a $1,000 fine as the state transitions to a testing program based on the at-home testing kits, rather than PCR tests.

Under the new regime, unveiled by Premier Dominic Perrottet on Wednesday morning, it will be mandatory for residents aged over 16 to log any positive RATs they have taken this year via the ServiceNSW app or website...

However, the new plan has come under fire by many who have criticised how authorities will regulate whether people will upload their positive results.
Chris Rudge, an expert in health law and medical regulation from the University of Sydney, labelled the new system as ‘very unenforceable’.
‘I can’t think of many legal instruments that are more unenforceable than this,’ Dr Rudge told AAP...

He said two groups in particular are likely to be in the sights of authorities - people hospitalised with Covid-19, and those living in a ‘group setting’.
That is because Covid-19 positive patients in hospital could easily be questioned about whether they had reported a positive RAT test, while those in share houses or living with family could be ‘dobbed in’ by housemates...

Dr Rudge pointed to police having to unearth a positive Covid-19 RAT result, or a record or photo of one, to prove a breach of the rules.
‘It’s very hard to prove if there’s no positive test available,’ he said.
He described the mandatory RAT reporting regime as largely about ‘self regulation’, despite the threat of financial penalties for non-compliance.
‘The problem with self-regulation is it’s pretty hard to enforce unless there is some chance intervention or a dob in, or something additional to the self-regulation,’ he said...

I’m trying to fight Chinese propaganda and people like you are spreading it. You’re the Chinese puppets whether you acknowledge it or not.

I have never fought for lockdowns. I have opposed them.

If you think I'm a supporter of that type of thing, it just proves you do not have a clue what you are talking about.

An Australian talking about freedom is comical.

Only because you have believed all the lies you've had rammed down your throat about my country.

I have to go make money now, but I’ll find your post where you were fine with a group of Aborigines being rounded up, against their will, in the Northern Territory and taken to a camp.

No, I wasn't fine with that. Explaining why it was happening is not the same as being fine with it. Like I said, this distinction seems too subtle for Americans.

You are the one spreading Communist Chinese propaganda. Over and over and over again.

And attacking the person who is trying to correct their lies.
