Anyone read this? What a f@@ mess!

Filip Serdarusic, Croatian tennis coach and brother of tennis player Nino Serdarusic, told Serbian site Sport Klubhe only had to leave Australia after being granted a medical exemption due to Novak Djokovic’s situation.

He said Australian authorities were playing politics with Djokovic at the expense of others.

Serdarusic, who arrived in Australia on the same medical exemption as the world No.1, told Sport Klub journalist Sasa Ozmo that on the day Djokovic arrived, Australian immigration authorities called him at 10pm and asked him to attend an interview the following day.

“There was an opportunity to enter with an exemption. I am not vaccinated and I had coronavirus in October,” he said.

What's the point of that statement?

My point was that 90% of the vaxxed majority who welcome the decision aren't a public menace, and the 10% who aren't vaxxed are likely to be incentivized by this decision to continue being disruptive to the community and ergo I don't agree that the minister needs to act in the favour of people like me who are very much pro-vax.

In other words, it is in fact stirring up "anti-vax sentiment" which is a little bit hypocritical in my eyes as that is the reason he is ostensibly not welcome in the country.

No one can complain it’s not going to be a fair hearing no matter which way it goes.
I will say though if he gets off goes on to win it would be the most remarkable GS wins of all time. Shithouse prep
 
I dunno. One of my posts got deleted but not sure why.
It looks like it was deleted because it quoted an appropriate post of someone else's, that often happens when we remove the original post….the posts quoting it go too.

One of mine did, it had a few likes so it was semi popular :p

P.S Hopefully Novak flies out of Australia tomorrow night, but if he ends up staying and plays on Monday.... I hope the boo's are glorious

maybe he'll soak them in

Only the ones who are a threat to my immuno compromised loved ones.

An unvaccinated tennis player staying in a bubble inside of a city with tens of thousands of cases of coronavirus is not a threat. And I say that as someone who is personally immunocompromised and frankly terrified of catching it.
