This gets more farcical by the minute. Get him outta here

His message starts "I want to address the continuing misinformation about my activities"..

All caused by yourself buddy! I reckon he's been given the hint that he has to leave.

NoVax has just issued a post onto instagram acknowledging that the attended events after receiving a positive RAT test:

This is also against Serbian government requirements - looks like he's in damage control mode now!

But he doesnt explain anything and hes used the words " ïn the lead up" to my positive test, and not post test.

 

[Must...Fly!]

In the Instagram post he claims to have had the PCR test on 16 December and found out the result the next day after attending the event with schoolkids etc.

I direct you to page 11 of his Federal Court submissions: https://www.fedcourt.gov.au/__data/...f-Novak-Djokovic-sworn-on-10-January-2022.pdf

Are we to understand it took over 18 hours for a positive result to be returned to him?

Deport this liar.

Somewhere it actually says he received the result on the evening of the same day. So he had overnight to make the decision to attend the event the following day. His lies are entwining onto each other now.

Novak Djokovic releases statement, admits "human error" mistake on immigration form​

Djokovic says a mistake on his immigration form about travelling abroad before arriving in Australia was "human error" and "not deliberate".
In a six-panel post on his Instagram page, Djokovic said he wanted to "address the continuing misinformation" about his attendance at events in December after he had tested positive for COVID.
He says he took a rapid antigen test, which returned a negative result, on December 16 after attending a basketball game in Belgrade on December 14 at which a number of people tested positive.
He also took a PCR test on the same day.
The following day (December 17) he attended the tennis event where he presented trophies to children after taking another rapid antigen test which was also negative.
He received the result of his PCR test, which was positive, after that event.
He says the day after (December 18) that he had "long-standing commitment" to complete an interview with l'Equipe as he felt "obliged" and he wore a mask the whole time except when the photo was taken.
He admits this was "an error of judgement".
As for his travel declaration, he says this was completed by his support team and that his agent "sincerely apologises for the administrative mistake in ticking the incorrect box", adding that it was a "human error".
He says his team has provided additional information to the Australian Government on this matter.

I think the twin brother defence would be more plausible …

 

[Must...Fly!]

Despite knowingly being positive (I doubt he was, but obviously must say he was to protect the fake COVID tests) he still attends an interview. Obviously L'Equipe knew nothing of this. Wait for their story tonight, I'm certain it will be explosive in its condemnation of the danger he has put their staff in.

Either way, unfit character to be in this country...

No Djokovic decision today​

Immigration Minister Alex Hawke’s office says don’t expect a decision on whether to cancel Djokovic’s visa today.

 

[HappyFlyerFamily]

I wonder what the entry requirements are to enter Spain. How long recovered, etc

I also wonder how he was told of his positive test on 16/12 - Australia we get an SMS - yes I'm aware it can still be fradulent.

No Djokovic decision today​

Immigration Minister Alex Hawke’s office says don’t expect a decision on whether to cancel Djokovic’s visa today.

The minister has been considering whether to step in and personally cancel the visa since Monday, when Djokovic won his court battle against it being cancelled by border force.

Since then, questions have been raised about whether the tennis champion lied on a border entry form, saying he hadn’t travelled in the last two weeks when social media posts showed him in two different countries in the 14 days before his flight to Australia.

In a statement on Instagram, Djokovic addressed some of the queries, saying his team filled out the form and the mistake was “human error”.

He also said his team had provided the Australian government with more information in a bid to make sure he’s allowed to stay in the country.

A spokesperson for Mr Hawke confirmed this, saying:

“Mr Djokovic’s lawyers have recently provided lengthy further submissions and supporting documentation said to be relevant to the possible cancellation of Mr Djokovic’s visa,” they said.

“Naturally, this will affect the timeframe for a decision.”

What do they mean by digital test result?

I was looking at the numbering of the test result

16/12 (positive) 7371999-259039
22/12 (negative) 7320919-259039

I guess the last 6 digits are a medical record reference or something, but later test has a 'lower' number

So being AFF we know EK leaves MEL at 22:30, anyone want to keep an eye on F loading?

no one sitting up front, tonight, just yet - there is 2 F seats taken on tomorrow's EK409 though... :

Maybe the PM will pop up at the airport with a parting gift ie deportation papers with ‘Do not Pass‘ go printed
I‘m rather liking the slow burn ‘roast on a spit’ element of this saga - even if not deported residual ‘reputation‘ of Novax in tatters. Maybe the juice will be worth the squeeze?

I don't get this part. Why do his lawyers get to submit anything? Shouldn't this happen AFTER he's kicked out and on appeal?

If anything, his own-foot-shooting admissions should hasten the timeline.

I hope this goes to 16/1 at least - draw made, cause more havoc - top of the draw with no seed.

I was trying to recreate my own saying before MARTINE provided one. It's a classic case of one lie leading to many.
