That would certainly start skewing the goal difference if the same approach was taken in football.

What if both teams cannot fulfil the fixture, a 48-48 draw?

I assume both teams get nothing from the game and get 48 points added to their points conceded.

I see that Lemina and Aubemayang were caught partying 4 days before AFCON and now both have covid.

Aus is a brutal dictatorship for sure and Covid is nothing new, they’ve been denying me my human right to bring satsumas in on Qantas for decades. As you say it’s not about health, it’s all part of the great worldwide reset to oppress Serbian tennis players.

Ha right you are, they could test everyday if they wanted to, but it's not about that is it. Must really wind them up that he's not towing the line. 

Do you think Mr Djokovic is going to place the Australian health system under pressure? 

We need more LEADERS like this fine man in Oz

If you want to live in a society where liberty is restricted  and your papers are checked for health status (of a virus that for 99% of people is a cold) then it might be appealing. 

Vaccine passports do nothing to "stop the spread" a group of friends went to the Spurs home game last week, two tested positive a few days later, both of them triple jabbed! Others who were double or not at all seem fine. Crazy.

Exactly that. "Choice" ain't just about people doing what they want. It's also about countries and institutions having the choice to set their own rules. We could debate the merits of the Oz rules all day long, but they are what they are, and fair play to them for implementing them.

Fair play to 'em! Good old Aussies , plenty of other countries good at consistently implementing their draconian liberty restrictions,  good on Iran, good on North Korea , fair play to them all

Sounds like a thorough, peer reviewed, scientific test, from a very large data sample, with no variables.

Control. 

State overreach over every part of your life. 

You enforcing a jab on millions of people who don't need it and telling them unless they do it they can't have their freedoms back .

[Noodles34]

The real issue with Novak is that he checked what he needed to come in and then the goal posts were changed for purely political reasons. He was originally not going and it was the Australian Tennis Association that turned that around. Clearly public outcry (and for good reason tbf) swayed the PM into winning some kudos before the elections this year. I think Novak is the innocent party in all this, I am surprised he is appealing, i would told them to fuck off and never pay in their third rate GS tournament again. 

Actually their PM reminds me of someone else that likes to court public opinion for his own agenda, feel pretty sure we'd be like the goons in Wales and Scotland if it weren't for parties and flat refurbs.

But you can never have complete freedom, one man’s freedom to walk around catching and spreading whatever diseases they want impacts the freedom of the others to go around without the risk of catching diseases. There were countries that require you to show vaccine status to enter before covid, just like there are some jobs that you have to be vaccinated from certain diseases to do. 

I don’t particularly agree with Australia’s Covid policy but, we are in a pandemic, the rules are there for a reason so should apply to everyone regardless of how well they can wack a ball over a net.

If the covid vaccine stopped you from getting and passing it on you might have a point, but it doesn't, also if covid was actually dangerous for 99% of the population, but it isn't.

This has been explained many, many, many times, if you’re unwilling to take that information onboard I’m not going over it again.

As egg said (one of the many) the gaping hole in all this conspiracy nonsense is why? I haven’t seen any explanation as to any motive which makes any sense. If it makes you happy then yes; I am a terrified, obedient, brainwashed sheep who has been hoodwinked by the Machiavellian Boris. I’ve had my three jabs, got my Covid pass and wear my mask on the train and in Tesco. Let’s suppose Boris gets his wet dream, 67 million subservient disciples, just like me. Then what? What is the end game in all of this.

How do you know he’s healthy? 
 

Besides, there’s a matter here of the greater good for all Australians and if it sends out a message then they may think it’s worthwhile. Their choice. It’s only a tennis player. There are plenty of others to take his place.

You misunderstand as usual. We didn’t have the vaccine in order to protect us from the selfish unvaccinated. It’s the unvaccinated that are spreading the virus despite what you read.

But it is the rule. Their nationals can show any feelings against the Oz policies at the ballot box, others have to accept them regardless of their views. C'est la vie. 

Back to my ignored question. The rule is in place - should the Oz authorities ignored the rule and waved him through? Yes or no.

For the purposes of entry into Australia is your definition of healthy someone who has had a covid jab? Why is a negative test not enough?

OK I'm on board with you now. 

Covid is the danger. 

The unvaccinated are the threat. 

Now we just need to decide what to do with them, without the unvaccinated there wouldn't be a threat...

We've removed freedoms, we've made them the enemy, we just need one final solution and the world will go back to normal, freed from these terrible virus spreaders.
