Morrison government dragging out Djokovic visa saga ‘as a distraction’, Labor says
The Guardian says Labor has accused the Morrison government of dragging out the Novak Djokovic visa saga to distract from its Omicron woes, as uncertainty over the tennis star’s ability to play the Australian Open enters its second week.
With no decision yet announced by immigration minister Alex Hawke, the independent senator Jacqui Lambie also accused the government on Friday of an “absolute shambles” in its handling of the Djokovic visa issue.
Djokovic’s lawyers are prepared to challenge a visa cancellation, which has made the Australian government hesitant to pull the trigger until it is certain it won’t be reversed by a court.
