[Mr Ramsbotham]

If anyone (Djokovic, for example) was acting on principle, he would have stayed home and publicly explained why he was refusing to participate in a tennis tournament in a country with a totalitarian, oppressive government.

Yes, but that was not the issue under consideration, and you're making my point for me. The issue was whether anyone should simply shrug his shoulders and dismiss the evil being done on the basis of the fact that it's "their country, their rules." Obviously the answer is no.

In this case, a “their country, their rules” shrug of the shoulders would be perfectly appropriate. Australians are perfectly capable of fixing their Branch Covidian problem over there. They apparently have no interest in doing anything about it, so why would anyone outside the country lose any sleep over it?
