No way he'll allow it lolWTA leaked the email without making a final agreement with the Government so let's hear Dan Andrews view on this new rule
I know. Lol he will be fuming to hear the latest leaked emailNo way he'll allow it lol
I don't think the rules have been set by the governmentIf they are the rules, then I think it is fair.
So Dan makes pariahs out of unvaccinated Victorians not allowing them to do anything until 2023 including visiting the AO tennis as fans, but will allow unvaccinated players at the same tournament to have free reign.Apparently unvaccinated players will be allowed to play at Australian Open but have to complete 2 week quarantine at a hotel.
We're all in this together.So Dan makes pariahs out of unvaccinated Victorians not allowing them to do anything until 2023 including visiting the AO tennis as fans, but will allow unvaccinated players at the same tournament to have free reign.
Hypocritical much?
Should be consistent and not allow anyone unvaxxed to play regardless if they test negative before they arrive.
The same except unvaccinated players are allowed to mix with vaccinated spectators and staff at a tournament others are precluded from attending for that very reason.An unvaccinated player would still follow the rules of other unvaccinated people in Melbourne. They wouldn't be able to dine at restaurants or bars, they won't be able to go shopping, they won't be able to go watch a live show. Unvaccinated players would have to follow the same rules as other unvaccinated people in Victoria.
They'll come here to play in a tournament, train, rest and leave once finished. What is the big deal? Hopefully by mid January next year we are nearing 95% fully vaccinated anyway.
Entry requirements into the country is also a federal decision.
Look a few of us spoke about this being an issue a few weeks ago after Andrews decided to make it political. Andrews may think he is a big deal, he is small fry compared to Djokovic.
The tournament will be an absolute joke and laughing stock if the top players do not compete.

I see what you are saying and I understand this is a hot topic with lots of opinions. Just on your point, players don't really mix with spectators all that much. Maybe you could make the protocols more strict for unvaxxed players on the grounds of Melbourne Park.The same except unvaccinated players are allowed to mix with vaccinated spectators and staff at a tournament others are precluded from attending for that very reason.

So an unvaccinated player would complete two weeks quarantine and be guaranteed to be negative to covid on release. As we know, both vaxxed and unvaxxed can become positive to covid as well as pass it on to someone else (chance of contracting covid is slightly reduced if fully vaxxed).
I hope I don't make this a political post and I respect different opinions on this. I'm supportive of getting as many people vaccinated as we can, to help the healthcare system. But I do believe that the national plan, which the states and territories agreed to, would be that at 90% fully vaccinated there would not be restrictions between the two groups. Andrews going on about restrictions in place for unvaxxed through 2022 as well does not sit well with me.
I get the feeling they cancelled it/didn't plan for it before they found out vaxxed players would have no quarantine, because logistically it actually would've been fairly to hold for players not wanting to switch states pre-AO with the updated conditionsI was hoping kooyong exhibition would go ahead
Not everyone cares about Christmas.Much ado about nothing - No unvaccinated player will travel to Australia to complete two weeks quarantine - Even if they were stupid enough to consider this would result having XMAS in qurantine.
Not everyone cares about Christmas.
Some unvaccinated players will surely do the quarantine for $100k+.
Greg Hunt just said the states(Etc Victoria) would have to apply for an exemption.The rules are inconsistent, this morning ScoMo announced that unvaccinated players will be allowed to play at the AO but will have to quarantine for 2 weeks.
Not sure how the public or Dan Andrews will react to this news.
