Novak Djokovic: Australia cancels tennis star's visa again
The Australian government has cancelled the visa of the Serbian tennis star, Novak Djokovic, for a second time.
The immigration minister, Alex Hawke, said the decision was made in the public interest.
The men's world number one tennis player initially had his visa revoked last week because he had not been vaccinated against Covid.
Anthony Galloway is the foreign affairs and national security correspondent for the Age Newspaper and Sydney Morning Herald. He says: “If he doesn’t appeal he could be forced into immigration detention within the next few hours or be forced on a plane.”
