The Australian Open is scheduled to begin January 17th in Melbourne, the epicenter of Australia’s totalitarian COVID mandates. Australia granted unvaccinated tennis superstar Novak Djokovic a visa to compete. Australian border officials then attempted to block his entry and deport him, because he was unvaccinated. Novak Djokovic took the issue to the federal court in Australia, and won his legal case against the Australian government. The government then decided unilaterally to revoke his visa on immigration grounds. Djokovic appealed.
The world #1 ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic lost his appeal today to remain in Australia and play the Australian Open tournament. He was immediately escorted to the airport and kicked out.
The government did not hide their reasoning, as immigration minister Alex Hawke said getting Djokovic out of the country was “fundamental to safe-guarding Australia’s social cohesion which continues to strengthen despite the pandemic.”
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison echoed the Hawke sentiment saying forcing Novak Djokovic out of the country quickly was a matter of “public interest“, because his continued presence would destabilize the government. Morrison further stated, “Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the result of those sacrifices to be protected,” allowing an unvaccinated person to enter Australia was a threat to the social fabric that has bowed to the controls and threats of government vaccination mandates.
None of the statements by the government, and none of their legal arguments had anything to do with COVID-19, or any medical issue or threat represented by Mr. Djokovic. The government didn’t even attempt to make any such case in their court arguments. Instead, the government relied upon convincing the court that Djokovic’s physical presence represented a threat to “social cohesion“.
To support the position of the government, Australian Chief Justice James Allsop stressed the court was ruling on the “lawfulness and legality” of the decision and not whether it was right or wrong to deport him. {LINK} The government can arbitrarily decide who comes and goes into the country, therefore, if the government wants to ban Djokovic for whatever reason, they can. That was the determining legal factor, nothing else.
Now we get to the key distinction between Americans and Australians. This is the point where many Americans find it difficult to reconcile with the outlook of Australians. This is where the distinctions in democracy become very important to understand.
Americans view any form of tyranny as bad. Americans, in the whole, view any effort to crush your freedom as a negative. Australians only view tyranny as bad if it is not applied equally. As long as everyone suffers the punishment of government equally, the pain is approved.
In Australia, government oppression is only bad if it is applied unequally.
If every Australian is forced to have their right hand removed to comply with government rules, then the removal of the hand is permitted. Everyone gets in line at the hand-chopper. However, if someone jumps out of the line and tries to escape, because they don’t want their hand removed, all the other people in line will chase him down, bring him back and hold him down while the government hand-chopper does the removal.
The American looks at this mindset with jaw agape and says, “F**k you, my hand isn’t getting removed, and neither should anyone else’s; and I will fight the government hand-chopper if it means stopping them, even if you are okay with your hand getting chopped.”
Generally speaking, the line of Americans to get their hands chopped will look scornfully as the two-handed rebel departs, but they accept his decision. (Although this outlook is changing in America – SEE HERE)
When an American sees a person fighting Australian tyranny (Djokovic), our gut instinct is to support him (we would if his confrontation was inside America – his location is irrelevant). We support the freedom fight, because we see the underlying reason for him fighting -his medical and health freedom- as having merit.
However, most Australians, who would fight for the type of freedom defined by their version of democracy, see Djokovic fighting for a specific freedom their mob democracy has already conceded and lost.
The anti-vax movement, writ large, does not independently support Djokovic on principle, because Djokovic is not acquiescing to the same rules they are subjected to.
There’s also a weird part of this where we recognize that Australians are unwilling to contemplate or accept that non-Australians might have different inherent rights because, well, they are not Australians.
The Australian system of government is based on a pure democracy. Extreme democracy. As soon as 50% plus one is achieved, the other 50% accept the rules of the majority, regardless how small that majority position might be. This is why everyone in Australia is required by law to vote.
The concept of minority rights or individual sovereignty, restrictions on the mob’s ability to interfere in your life, is unfathomable to Australians. Once a law is passed by majority consent, they all agree to follow it. That is their social compact.
As a result, when the government of the majority tells them to do something – they comply.
This is the “social cohesion” that was threatened by Novak Djokovic being allowed to exist as an unvaccinated sovereign citizen in the country.
♦ One man standing against Tyranny brings Americans to their feet in support.
♦ One man standing against Tyranny in Australia immediately triggers the crabs in the bucket…
Last point. Notice how there are some very famous people in Hollywood from Australia? There are hundreds of them, and many of them are very wealthy. Notice how they refuse to go back to Australia? Their ideological hypocrisy is rather stark. The Hollywood Australians are the worst kind of Australians; they have left the bucket, will not return to the bucket, yet advocate for the bucket crabs to keep everyone else in the bucket.
Did you see the female player have a heart attack.
All over GETTR.
bad for her but maybe a few will awaken
Wow. I went to look for a female player with a heart attack, and all I came up with was a Brazilian referee who had a heart attack in quarantine.
Is there some sort of contagion of flaming stupidity going on? This link “debunks” the enormous number of heart attacks occurring in sports
https://www.news.com.au/sport/football/vaccine-theory-about-footballers-collapsing-debunked/news-story/013da222d688403b2568cc5e8404b1b0
I’m becoming afraid to go out… because of the Madness of Crowds.
Well, I see you have your lies ready to go.
I watched the video.
Do you have a different set of lies?
From November 2021, a list of 69 athletes who collapsed in one month? Of heart problems, many of them dying as a result?WTH

Pretty classy statement from Novak.
Get woke, screw Noke…
Yea, a classy statement from Novak. He probably suspects that polite submission at this point is his only hope of returning within the 3 year ban.
Well, it is obvious that the conservative Sky News was not outraged at Djokovic’s ouster. One commentator was saying that maybe he needs to re-think his approach and get the vaccines.
When the government is more concerned about “social cohesion” than they are freedom, it sounds like they intend to keep control over anyone who would challenge their draconian measures and their totalitarian rule. Australia is not a free country and the Democrats in the US are leaning toward the same autocratic and unfair measures here.
Australia is afraid that Novak will beat their vaccinated sheep.
I wonder if any of the tennis players that have been vaxx’d will fall out on the court w/a heart attack on live Tv? What will they say then? Novak would get the last word. I’m sorry it has been a hot mess for him, but he is smart to remain loyal to his body. He can always write a book about his experience w/the Aussies, so he has that.
Personally, I see him as the greatest tennis player in the world, he stood up to tyranny.
That woman has had a bad lip job, she looks like Maria B. It always turns out badly, why do women do that?
Playing their game, by their rules, at the end of their strings is not standing up to tyranny.
He needed this tournament, and a win, to be the best male tennis player of all time, at least to date. Apparently Novak loves playing this Open. He didn’t cave to pressure and say “ok, I will get the vaxx so I can play in your tournament”. I call that a win, but that is just me. The other players were whining like babies that it isn’t fair. What is not fair? Wanting to take care of your body so you can live? Kudos to Novak for having some balls.
Time will tell if he caves, which I hope he doesn’t. Just Say NO. Anyone that does that has my respect, and I see them in the fight against tyranny.
Its the only way they can win
A tennis player became a national threat. Just nuts!
He’s a devout Serb Christian, that’s his problem with Oz; had he been a Serb Muslim, he’d most likely be playing for another championship.
The tennis player isn’t the threat… not deporting him is the threat. “Social Cohesion” doesn’t enforce itself, ya know.
Reminds me of the Night’s Watch Lord Commander Jon Snow beheading a mercy-begging Janos Slynt for insubordination in Game Of Thrones Season 5, Episode 3. He didn’t want to do it… but he knew he had to.
Except in this case I think the Aussie Authorities quite like their power.
Social cohesion = do what you’re told to do
Sundance, thank you for connecting the dots re democracy vs. (hopefully to continue) [our] Republic.
Making the idea of democracy the all-important thing is just crazy-making. It seems like about 75-80% (at least?) don’t comprehend. Such lack of comprehension is so dangerous.
We understand why so many countries who pretend to be America’s friend actually secretly hates America.
Especially 5 eyes countries.
Sheep cohere to the max.
Not to call all Austrailians sheep as some appear here regularly who are not
I have SILs who definitely are.
Forget the bucket, I say f…kt.
IRRATIONAL INSANITY aka ‘Mass Formation Psychosis’
Appears the australians have adopted a new one word language
BAAAAAAAAAA !
It just feels unfair.
If I were a sheep I would be deeeeeeply offended at the continuous comparisons to a mindless species.
It is easy to talk like a hero.
Let’s see how Americans behave when/if painful sacrifices are necessary. Until then … just hot air.
BTW, over 25% support vax camps here.
I am un-jabbed and MORE THAN WILLING to defend that position !
wire cutters……
Count your blessings. As for Australians, we have few here in the Tree House. And they are doing the best they can under the circumstances. I’m praying for those who are still out there working to change hearts and minds.
Re-read the article. And THINK!
Apperently, around 1/4 of “Americans” are australian transplants, at least based on their Worldview.
WHO KNEW Aussies comprised a higher percentage of Americans, than blacks?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. – Samuel Adams, 1776
Many whom Adam’s was addressing were future Canadians.
lol
they didn’t want their BS ‘COVID’iot narrartive coming unstuck…
if it had to have continued on in court, Djokovic could have subpoenad witnesses like, for instance, Dʳ Robert Malone, the actual INVENTOR of the Vₓₓ ;
ASS-stralia…land of the freak…home of the knave…
run by: fags, femi-twats and GUN-grabbers….
And a female tennis player promptly had a heart attack on the court.
Take the clot shot win stupid prizes. Any athlete taking the jab is an idiot.
Cant find news on that. But this is a link with “old news” from 2021, cardiac emergencies during sports events
https://www.arabnews.com/node/1997221/sport
No what fellow, you are getting to be a PITA. I am flagging you.
Sorry you are annoyed. You would be more useful if you would provide working links that people can share concerning the risks to athletes, and the names of those already injured (or dead) who have tried to speak out but go unheard.

You Lawyers out there better start thinking about how we’re going to punish these Socialist Politicians. The days of no-accountability are over. If you don’t do it someone else will.
I think that sentiment is better directed at the U.S. Department of unJustice.
I would say you who (rightfully, mind you) continue to spout the nonsense that “Justice is coming” need a dose of realism, as you are every bit as delusional as the leftist useful idiots.
The idea that massive “perp walks” are ‘just around the corner’ is wishful thinking, like the endless “beginning of the end, of the Trump admin” talking head mantra.
No, there will be no Justice, certainly not in our lifetimes.
You haven’t seen what Mr Maker can do. It is coming, wrapped in earthquakes and asteroids. Justice will be world wide.
Is the #2 ranked guy an Australian or something?
Spanish, Swiss or Russian depending upon what perspective you are looking from.
Regardless of who’s #1 currently playing in the tournament-
They’re obviously jabbed and approved by the Australian Government or they wouldn’t still be in the tournament.
Threat to Australian social cohesion my hairy posterior! This is barely a threat to government control. It is disappointing, though, that other tennis players are withdrawing from the tournament and leaving in protest of the treatment one of their own is receiving.
/s?
Precisely! Those still there playing deserve our scorn every bit as much as the tyrants the Aussies are having to live under.
Should read:
“…that other tennis players are not withdrawing from the tournament…”
Sorry for my lack of proof-reading before posting. 🙁
He’s lucky they didn’t stick him in one of their friendly ” well camps ” for a few ……. years .
You know , like the ones NY and Wash state want to ( or have ? ) built
Australia proposes to push back against China’s bullying, but is scared of a tennis player?
Did I get that right?
Yes
Is Australia much different than communist China?
Is this really about Covid and “public safety” or is it about Djokovic‘s open opposition to a lithium mining project in Serbia by an Anglo-Australian company called Rio Tinto?
Is it retaliation for a photograph he released of himself with protestors in Serbia?
When you go up against the 2nd largest metals and mining company in the world, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they’re going to mess with you.
It also shouldn’t come as a surprise that they own a few politicians.
https://www.barrons.com/new…
I would guess it is purely “Respect mah Authoritah, peon!”. Don’t ever show the crabs that there is a way out of the bucket.
Whoever wins any matches that Djokovic would have won will forever have an asterisk next to his name.
As they should for not really winning and for enabling fascism.
Suppose they gave an Australian open, and nobody came?
Would be a kicker, but won’t happen, cause apperently their ain’t no balls down under.
Just another sport that has been ruined by politics.
I speak with a few people from Australia often and I agree with Sundance on how they view freedom. I’ve asked several questions to all of them over the last 2 years. No matter how crazy it gets they just accept it because it’s “equal”, they complained however multiple times over those not following the rules. They truly think if they all just comply everything will work out….
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !
You got that right. Lol
Agreed
Also great insight from Sundance. It’s difficult at times to see how other countries treat the common man with minimal resistance from citizens
However, it’s their culture and heritage, not our American way
This is the main reason that I typically don’t comment on the affairs of other countries. (Also, we have enough of our problems to sort out here)
You are talking to the wrong Australians Jeanette.
and of course we would say their compliance is causing the rules
Well you mustn’t have spoken to me.
As I noted above, this view is not unique to Australia, it is common here, as well.
Isn’t it frustrating? It is their moral imperative to comply.
Yes the Australians have sacrificed something. Reason and accountability.
Article at JoNova, a Aussie Blog
https://joannenova.com.au/2022/01/a-vaccine-so-good-we-have-to-punish-the-worlds-best-tennis-player/
Exactly, if the vaccine is sooo good, then why are they all scared of any unvaxxed person?
You would think that a country that started as a penal colony would be more resistant to this type of tyranny. Especially since most were from Ireland and hated British tyranny. RIP Crocodile Dundee. Haven’t heard anything from Paul Hogan, have we?
The new Hollyweird Crocodile Dundee remake will cast a beta soy boy as Dundee, a Tranny fighting Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine drug smugglers.
Rod Ansell was the real Crocodile Dundee.
https://allthatsinteresting.com/rod-ansell
Problem is that their governance was based on British Law.
Last I heard he lives in Hollywood proving Sundance’s point.
They went along with the gun grab too.
Social coercion.
There, fixed it!
Thank you for that, Sundance. A fine distinction I was unaware of, although I’ve had lots of crabs in the bucket! They all get cooked.
I just crossed one destination OFF of my bucket list!
“Americans view any form of tyranny as bad. Americans, in the whole, view any effort to crush your freedom as a negative. Australians only view tyranny as bad if it is not applied equally. As long as everyone suffers the punishment of government equally, the pain is approved.
The concept of minority rights or individual sovereignty, restrictions on the mob’s ability to interfere in your life, is unfathomable to Australians. Once a law is passed by majority consent, they all agree to follow it. That is their social compact.”
Definitely explains the vitriol they posted here about the “rich” and “elites” getting “special” treatment. Bless their hearts.
Amazing how one man can terrify a whole government. Where have we seen that before 🤔
There are just no words to adequately describe how pathetic Australia has become.
The words “social cohesion” seems adequate.
The person that “wins” should have an asterisk next to his name because he really won’t have earned it. And any tennis player that stays and plays in this tournament is a coward that cooperates with evil.
Haven’t we all been told to cast aspersions on the Germans during WWII when they didn’t resist under threat of death, but wealthy tennis players can’t just leave a tournament?
I don’t see why we will need to waste a drop of American blood defending AUS against Chinese aggression. I think they will fit into the Chinese “Greater Prosperity Sphere” quite well.
Because Aussies stood side by side with Americans in your wars
Well the most recent action Aus government took was participating in the unlawful persecution of candidate and President Trump. So the Aus gov can FOAD.
Many Aussies feel the same about our government.
Also, it’s in your own interests to stand against China.
Long time ago. We’re in a very different world today.
Australia has flipped its damned lid. The US owes them nothing.
You’d rather that China grow stronger and bigger – enough to overtake America.
Interesting/unusual choice
Japan was a lot bigger threat to Australia than to the US. International communism in East and Southeast Asia and Indonesia was a lot bigger threat to Australia than to the US. In WW I, we both bailed out Mother England.
Australia fought back the Japanese. But the real fall of Japan came from America.
I often wonder if Japan didn’t attack America and if Germany didn’t attack Russia – would half of Asia be owned by Japan and would half of Europe be owned by Germany.
As for war – Australia has a population of around 26 million. And a massive land area, I think about 2/3 the size of the USA. We have limited capabilities to defend ourselves. That’s just a fact. We would lose in less than a day. However, it is in the interest of other western nations to be allies. As an example, look at how we vote at the UN. Plus we are a wealthy country and buy the friendships of smaller and poorer countries.
Your continental area is bigger than ours IIRC. China wants your resources and what will stop them. I fear for you!
The US and Japan were on a collision course from 1900.
Yes you did. However given our collapse don’t be looking for help from us.
The entire West is currently under the same disaster from the global oligarchy. We are all at war with them. Hopefully if we all fight we can take them all down.
China, however, is a different story. They are currently enjoying the show, and the division.
And then they tried to take down PDJT.
Clearly our government is stupid and wrongly jumped on the anti Trump bandwagon. We also do loads of other stupid stuff, like banning Djokovic.
Not sure exactly what you want from me here. If you simply want a fight, then shall I point to you guys and the Obama disaster and the Biden disaster. Even Bush has turned out to be a globalist. But, I still love Americans. YOU will not change that.
As did the Serbs
Is this one of those examples of the ‘law of unintended consequences’? !
Let’s notice how the money thing works here. When the female tennis star was “removed” in China, the WTA removed the Association from China. I haven’t heard of any fellow competitors standing in solidarity with him, much less the Men’s Association. $$$…
Some media is a threat to ‘social cohesion’ – what to do?
Great news, Aussies never have to worry about spending the tourist dollars I leave on vacation. I’ve done business with them but their happy go lucky exterior hides darkness.
Australians are subject to mass hysteria when someone deliberately scares them.
As are Americans.
He does not represent a health threat. They are not even arguing that.
What the hell is a “threat to social cohesion?”
Social cohesion is a term for tyrants. Americans have a right to differences of opinion.
Where in Australia’s constitution does “social cohesion” stand above individual rights.
Australians are a pack of fools to buy this nonsense. They embrace government tyranny like it is some kind of a wonderful gift.
These people are “flat Earth” believers.
You can’t convince people this ignorant of any objective truth.
The country will suffer mightily for this when the truth about the vaccines is revealed to the world.
Did you even read the article? If so, then you need to go back and read it again. This time please slow down and absorb what Sundance is saying.
The word “Democracy” is not in the Declaration of Independance, or the Constitution, even a cursory reading of “the Federalist papers, shows the Founders firmly rejected “Democracy” as a dictatorship of the majority.
Sumdance brief exposition shows why.
The “Democrats” are showing WHY they took that name.
And, if the Republicon party were not a fake “controlled opposition” party, they would be openly and proudly pointing out the flaws in Democratic governance, and championing the value of Republican governance.
THE “enemy of the People” is, even more than the MSM, dare I say even more than the DNC, the RNC/GOPe “controlled opposition” and we can only win back our rights by wresting control of Congress away from the Decepticons in Congress.
Without that, nothing is possible, with it ALL is posdible.
Correct.
Democracy – two wolves and a lamb discussing what’s for dinner.
Our America is still a Constitutional Republic… thank God.
Prayers for our Aussie friends.
Social cohesion, is that Aussie speak for fascism?
As an Australian I am disgusted with this decision.
It’s petty in the extreme.
Unfortunately, a lot of what you say is true. Many folks in Australia seem to take Djokovic’s situation as a personal affront – which just makes no sense to me.
Madness.
They are just jealous and resent him for having common sense.
Julian, I’m an Aussie as well, and I’m as disgusted by this decision as you are. Nothing about this makes any sense, but that just about sums up my opinion on how the whole covid situation has been handled from beginning to end. No sense in any of it.
If we don’t get the right answers it means we aren’t asking the right questions.
Unbelievable.
Feelings over facts. Social credits. Fascism.
Western civilization is being destroyed by tyrants.
If people are not permitted to compete, then Australia should no longer be part of the Grand Slam. There needs to be consequences.
And I would also like to say, not all Aussies are as Sundance described. Not me. And I know many who are with me.
Meanwhile, our conservative party seems to have lost it’s ideals. Our two major parties are offering one policy.
Consider me with of those Aussies ‘with you’. Our conservative party is a joke. They now offer no point of difference between the other major party – which happens to be the Labour part (or socialists). They’ve even surrendered on the energy issues, and are now pushing for a net zero policy – which I imagine will be as successful as the ‘covid-zero’ approach (sarc). For actual freedom-loving Australians who believe in individual rights – we really have no one left to vote for.
I agree. I plan to vote for PHON and UAP – depending on who they preference. Possibly going to vote below the line, which is a pain in the bum. And I also know a bunch of people who are now doing their homework prior to the next election. I’m a conservative, not a libertarian, but I do have friends also voting for the Lib-Dems.
I have moved interstate recently – but in the last state election where I was, I told the Labor guy handing out ‘how to vote’ cards that there was no way I would vote for them after they kept me from my family. His jaw quite literally dropped and he didn’t reply.
Check out the AustraliaOne party as well. They have an interesting platform – and they clearly state their economic policies (especially tax reform) and clearly outline what they’ll do to maintain Australia’s sovereignty while maintaining individual rights (including the banning of forced vaccinations).
Thanks – I know there’s a few more options popping up, probably some good independents too. I will do some more homework once the election is called. That’s also why I’m thinking about voting below the line for the senate. I want my vote to go where I want.
Not just your conservative party!
Well obviously, but the Left is going to do leftist stuff. That’s expected. It’s the conservative party that didn’t stand true to the ideals they should have.
Great analysis.
Every democracy in history has failed. Maybe there is a Thunderdome moment in their future.
Every civilisation in history, has also failed.
Those who study civilisations (archelogists) generally believe EVERY civilisation is doomed to eventually collapse.
Is THIS what we are actually seeing?
IMO Yes. When things are tough there is no time for this nonsense.
When life is easy the rot sets in.
Empires rise. Empires fall. Nothing new under the sun.
…
The government did not hide their reasoning, as immigration minister Alex Hawke said getting Djokovic out of the country was “fundamental to safe-guarding Australia’s social cohesion which continues to strengthen despite the pandemic.”
Spoken like a good little commie.
That, is the only reason why they can’t afford anyone, let alone someone famous to not have vaccination compliance. The whole country’s cohesion for ‘the greater good’ is just nothing more than the leaders’ demented power world view and self-interest agenda for control and power.
Over which they think they are garnering more of with more draconian measures while the ‘strengthening’ cohesion’ is nothing more than the citizens’ compliance and submission.
THIS
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/01/must-read-local-conservatives-feel-djokovics-australian-visa-cancellation/
Except for that comment about mandates for the vaccine in Australia. I know many who had to choose between work and the vaccine. Some took the vaccine in order to earn a living. Others lost their jobs. A lot of Aussies had to make this choice.
An awful lot took $750.00 PER week to stay at home.
True – but don’t forget that a whole lot had their business shut down by the government. That was not their choice.
Agreed. Jabbed or starve isn’t a real choice.
This? Equating immigration to a guy who was supposed to play in a tournament, not looking for residence?
An illegal immigrant is an illegal immigrant, whether its a minute, a day, a lifetime. It would open the flood gates to actual illegal immigrants using the same loophole. Once you let one slip through…well you know the rest. Welcome to border protected Australia!
You are saying the guy with an actual Visa to play tennis is an illegal immigrant? There is no equivalency here.
Character grounds get immigrants thrown out of Australia ALL the time. If you commit a crime here in Australia, you are deported to your birth country upon release from prison. This is the same thing, he’s been deported on character grounds. Again for the government to lose the authority to throw people out or keep them out on character grounds is essential to controlling the border. This is what strict border control looks like. One tennis player is banned – big deal. Would rather that than every actual illegal immigrant clog up our court systems with endless appeals using tax payer money (like they used to). Australians are very comfortable with our border controls.
Thanks for your explanation and rationale but you are also endorsing vaccine requirements, this is not a “character” flaw to have natural immunity and refuse an experimental gene altering treatment!
This is an endorsement of the vaccine tyranny and not at all based on him being a threat. The treat is people are mad if he gets away with not being vaccinated while other Australians are locked away in quarantine camps. But he is not an Australian national and not seeking residency or refuge, he is there to play a tennis match! He could also be tested for Covid, really.
I don’t think anybody rational would ever support this. They did this to support their vaccine medical tyranny, can’t even get ivermectin there either or shipped in. They don’t want to disturb their “social cohesion” not at all having to able to ship away migrant illegal aliens seeking permanent residency.
” not being vaccinated while other Australians are locked away in quarantine camps “
under S51 ssXXIIIa of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of AUstralia, the gov’mt, actually, cannot ‘mandate’ any medical procedure what-so-ever;
that includes, of course, the Vₓₓ ;
there is, also, provision under S116 of same for clear-cut ‘religious exemptions’ ;
AFAIK, you do not even have to be associated with any established ‘religion’ ;
neither does any-one have the right or the power to ‘cross-examine’ you on it;
you just have to say: i have a religious objection to…. [what-ever];
And all the vaccine passport rubbish goes against the Disability Discrimination Act. Not to mention all the Human Rights laws being broken. And probably many more.
Right now our governments are criminals, going against pre existing laws that are higher up than emergency laws.
“many more…”
Privacy Act 1988,
also: Fair Work Commission/unlawful dismissal if yr ‘sacked’ for refusing the ‘jab’ ;
(unless its pre-stipulated in an actual Contract of Employment)
“pre existing laws that are higher up than emergency laws”
the Constitution of the Commonwealth of AUstralia cannot be ‘over-riden’ by any state or federal ‘law’, ‘statute’ or mandate;
they would have to, actually, change the Constitution;
and
that can only be done by referendum;
IIRC: there have been some-thing like 20-odd of those in the last cn’ry or so and only a measly 1 has succeded;
and: that was only abt re-classifying indigenous/Aboriginals as British subjects/AUstr’ citz;
which every-one accepted any-way[s] ;
also: the Constitution, actually, implies the Bill of Rights 1689 which, amongst other ‘rights’, gives the right to bear arms and the right to free speech;
the latter provision has been adjudicated on by the HCA/Canberra many years ago and is well established;
the right to bear arms has been brought up to the HCA on different occasions….mostly since John Howard’s 1996/1997 Gun Grab….but didn’t get much past1ˢᵗ base primarily b’cs the actual plaintiffs did not have adequate legal representation;
it could, still, be re-submitted if there was sufficient money and determination to so do it….
the only proviso to the BoR1689 is that ‘arms’ are not stock-piled with the intention of, actually, over-throwing the Crown….
OTW: the gov’mt has nor real authority to restrict any form of private owner-ship;
in fact: in the UK, prior to WI, under the BoR1689, Brits could, actually, own Vickers machine-guns…
its one of the main reasons these statist control freak cruds want to make Austr’ a ‘republic’…..
𝘤𝘧 ‘Freedom Wears a Crown’ by Canadian author John Farthing ;
There have been 8 alterations to the Australian Constitution, the first in 1907 and the most recent in 1977.
The Constitution confers few rights on citizens and certainly not a right to free speech. It does imply a right to political communication on the ground that how can we exercise our explicit right to vote if we can’t talk to each other about the pros and cons of the candidates and their policies.
“The Constitution confers few rights on citizens”
nah….
that’s wrong;
the Bill of Rights 1689 is, in fact, implicit in the Constitution;
that ‘right to political communication’ was, in fact, a ruling based on BoR1689;
Just today I responded to a wall-of-text comment by an Aussie who said “you are all missing the point about why we are happy that tennis player was kicked out…” I said (very much paraphrasing) that they are about to get forced vaccinations. Will he be upset about those who do whatever they can to avoid getting forcibly jabbed? Because if he does, he’s a giant prick.
” forcibly jabbed”
under S51 ssXXIIIa of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of AUstralia, the gov’mt, actually, cannot ‘mandate’ any medical procedure what-so-ever;
that includes, of course, the Vₓₓ ;
there is, also, provision under S116 of same for clear-cut ‘religious exemptions’ ;
AFAIK, you do not even have to be associated with any established ‘religion’ ;
neither does any-one have the right or the power to ‘cross-examine’ you on it;
you just have to say: i have a religious objection to…. [what-ever];
Somehow I suspect that won’t matter in a couple weeks.
“won’t matter”
it WILL matter if its forced up to the HCA…
even with an ‘injuction’ ;
if the HCA ‘rules’ that S51ssXXIIIa is being violated, then, any-one who tries to ‘push’ it can be either gaoled or SUED out-of-existence…..
via ‘a private prosecution’ if needs be…

IIRC: there are, as of now, @ least 2 cases ‘before-the-courts’ in both Qld and NSW …
funded, again, IIRC, by billionaire Clive Palmer…..
the gov’mt is, of course, totally FLOUTING the law ….
just like they did with Djokovic;
b’cs: all such mandates should be, automatically, put on HOLD unless and until those cases are resolved; ultimately, by the HCA/Canberra ;
Boy, you Australians really TRUST your Government Laws . Us Americans? Not so much. We are praying for your country.
Don’t you have to be vaccinated to make entry into the US? I could be wrong, haven’t really kept up.
If so, and it’s still in place for the US Open, I say he should illegally enter through Mexico with a caravan 😂😂😂
You must be jabbed for entry to US unless a diplomat or some other privileged person.
Not if you enter illegally!
The US Southern border is wide open to all.
Every disease in the world crosses over with no problem.
Hand chopping ? America is like that about racism they will throw you under the bus to prove they’re not the racist that they are , in some degree they all are some very racist some not so much ,you can see it in the worshipping of the great Marxist pornographer MLK https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/01/time_to_reevaluate_the_legacy_of_martin_luther_king.html
Or how the advertising is all black now https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/01/why_are_caucasians_vanisihing_in_tv_commercials_.html
To throwing under the bus the 3 men who were within the legal right of killing Ahmaud Arbery , Americans up in arms about Rittenhouse had to pretend they’re not racist by saying duh killing of thug Ahmaud was wrong , see how it works , Rush spent 20 years walking back his racist Donovan McNabb remarks , I myself din have a problem with it but I could spot it on him by his sniveling playing Berry White and other crap … It’s the American way , I’m ok with American racism when you live in close proximity to blacks your quality of life goes down exponentially, most don’t know how to live never being habilitated, they can’t even talk , I had a black judge who was always searching for a big word to say to make up for his ignorance, I ended up passing sentence on myself, or the black doctor I had who was searching for the big word, I had to help him out too , I ended up writing my own prescriptions, like Rush did with his idiot maid 🤣 , don’t feel bad it’s all good when they live over there . Born in Rochester NY I moved to Maine to get away from the pants down to your knees crap, say what !
Whether this is extrinsic, the result of Africa’s unfortunate history and tropical location, or intrinsic, an unfortunate genetic reality, the fact is that sub-Saharan Africa and African America is a sad exception at this point in history. .
Also clear is that no one wants to stare this African exception in the face.
Yappy,
Wow, your erudition in your post above, verily leaps off the screen, to assault my eyes.
Firstly, how about no run on sentences?
Secondly, hit the space button every couple of sentences, to make it easier to read for those on phones, as requested in the “guidelines for posting”, accesible from the Homepage.
Thirdly , “tis better to kerp your mouth closed, and have people think you are an idiot (bigot) than to open your mouth, and remove all doubt.”
“Ahmaud Arbery….. Rittenhouse “
“throw you under the bus”
and… that other fellow…some yrs back;
forget his name, for now….
they were all, quite clearly, actual POLITICAL PROSECUTIONs;
how do we know this?
b’cs: initially: the cops did not even ‘prefer’ charges;
and
they had to ‘drag in’ some commie ass’t. ‘DA’ from some-where[s] or t’other to ‘go on with it’ ….
then: the BS media hysteria also….
more likely than not….
you’d be better off with an actual NON-white jury…..
white juries have to ‘virtue signal’ their political correctness….
pr’by: Hispanics and Asians would be best….
predominantly: Asians….
they’d just coldly and objectively stick to the facts and not get ‘swayed’ by BS ’emotions’ ….
generally, US blacks are too effin’ STOOPID to serve on juries….
you’d hafta have a recent immigrant ☻ to the US….
preferably: an Oxford or Cambridge-educated, bespectacled, briar-pipe-smoking black who wears a Saville Row-tailored Harris-tweed suit and who spends a lot of his spare time discoursing on the classics…
also: avoid women…they’r, generally, too emotional for juries…
“Australians have made many sacrifices” he says.
The law makers and enforcers have sacrificed nothing, lost nothing.
Tyrannical bullying of a sheepish frightened public of the highest order that’s what we’ve had.
And all with frenzied support from their lying, corrupt, rotten media partners.
Social cohesion, means Djokovic was upsetting the government’s control factor, and that scared the hell out of them.
Every athlete should have boycotted Australia!!!
Boy has this opened my eyes about Australia and Australians. I never knew. I had thought they were like Crocodile Dundee.
Stereotype much?
When personal choices are a threat to social order and you are jailed and thrown out of the country you know you have been to Australia. Welcome to sothern china.
That’s exactly what all dictators do…silence dissent. I used to think a visit to Australia would be really cool. Now I wouldn’t go there if you paid me.
If it weren’t for the dictatorial decrees of vaccine compliance, I would still love to go to Australia.
I was called there in a dream and didn’t follow it. Now I fear I never will.
You get the government you vote for. At least we used to.
