Australian SHAME!!!

Baffled!

If one is happy to host a tennis competition in the middle of a pandemic – supposedly to entertain people and keep things moving – why would you not want the world’s best tennis player there?

You can get the guy to take a Covid test twice or three times a day. If as it were, he has already arrived in Australia, get him to self-isolate (apart from mixing with his team of staffers) for the duration of the event and take daily tests as a minimum – if he doesn’t test positive, what is the harm? YES, the chap was very arrogant in thinking he can just waltz into Australia with some ill-scripted exemption, but I doubt he would have expected to become a political pawn..

The reasoning that he may give voice to anti-vaxxers or his presence leading to unrest in Australia, is perhaps the most bizarre argument I have heard in years! You only have to conduct a very basic investigation, to find that most likely a majority of government officials have been flouting the Covid rules. Or is there anyone dumb enough to think it is only the UK’s 10 Downing Street staff throwing lockdown parties?!

When Covid broke out, governments around the would could have shut borders but didn’t. Can Covid be spread by vaccinated people? I believe the answer is Yes? So, they depot a guy who hasn’t rested positive because they wanted to make a point? if only the vaccinated can travel, make that mandatory – but nobody seems to have the guts to do so. I am fully vaccinated and will gladly take future jabs, but I fail to see the need for this persecution of those who choose not to be vaccinated – when what should be mandatory is proof of whether or not you have the virus (how to make the provision of such proof reliable, is where governments should have focused months ago) and as we have seen, some will still flout whatever rule is put in place – and in the UK, it appears it is those putting those rules in place that are flouting it without any penalty

Yes, all the crap being stated by Djoko’s father and the rest, is just that: CRAP. He just fell victim to political games that’s all. He should have been smart enough to ensure the event organisers confirmed all aspects before jetting out to Australia. There is no conspiracy nor attempt to put Serbia down. Australian politicians simply say an opportunity to use him in scoring cheap points and they couldn’t pass it up. It is very similar to how we use every crime committed by a foreigner, to say we should kick all foreigners out. Forgetting all the crimes locals also regularly commit.

This is the sad, sad state the world is in today. But in truth, that is the sad state the world has always been in, the only difference is that social media and tech now get these stories out there at record speed…

For a country largely made-up of immigrants (Australia) to behave the way they now behave, is truly tragic. But not at all surprising.

Canadian tennis player Vasek Pospisil wrote: “Novak would never have gone to Australia if he had not been given an exemption to enter the country by the government (which he did receive; hence Judge Kelly’s initial ruling). He would have skipped the Australian Open and been home with his family and no one would be…talking about this mess. There was a political agenda at play here with the elections coming up which couldn’t be more obvious. This is not his fault. He did not force his way into the country and did not “make his own rules”; he was ready to stay home.”
