Novak Djokovic's Australian visa revoked again

[CatWoman]

Australia's immigration minister on Friday revoked tennis star Novak Djokovic's visa ahead of the Australian Open, saying "it was in the public interest to do so."

Novak Djokovic will be detained by Australian immigration officials Saturday, ahead of a decisive court hearing Sunday where detailed arguments will be presented on whether the tennis star should be deported.

Judge Anthony Kelly who presided over the hearing, said the government had agreed not to deport Djokovic before the case has concluded.

Kelly also said Djokovic will be allowed to visit his lawyers' offices Saturday to prepare for his Sunday hearing, before eventually being moved back into pre-immigration detention, as required under Australian law.

An initial hearing in the case has been scheduled to take place in Australia’s Federal Court at 10:15 a.m. Saturday local time (6.15 p.m. ET Friday) and will be overseen by Justice David O’Callaghan.

In a late-night court hearing Friday, Djokovic’s barrister Nick Wood requested that written submissions from both sides in the case be submitted to the courts by end of day Saturday.

What could happen next: Once those submissions are made, a more detailed appeal hearing is expected on Sunday.

1. anyone who lied on the form in 2 separate places would be immediately deported in Australia

Pitifully sad commentary that this asshat who lied twice on the form and has changed his story numerous times hasn't alreday been kicked out and banned for several years.

Just gives you an idea of how desperate for $$ the Australian Open and tourism departments are that he wasn't sent packing as soon as it same out that he lied about traveling before coming to Australia.

consideration.
