Novak Djokovic admits false information was provided on entry declaration form
To lie is to deliberately, not negligently, provide false information. Djokovic has stated that his agent negligently checked the wrong box on a form, and you have repeatedly lied about it and called it a lie.
Perhaps such negligence should be a deportable offense, but Mr. Hawke evidently doesn’t think so. The reason he gave for cancelling the visa was the inspiration Djokovic gives to anti-vax Australians.
This matter has changed my attitude toward Australia. I now think the USA should not be allied with Australia. When China comes calling you should defend yourselves if you can without any American help. As far as I can tell the human rights differences between Australia’s governments and the CCP are too small to care about.
