By PAUL COLLITS – THEY say that revenge is a dish best served cold. And so it came to pass at Melbourne Park tennis centre.
A mere twelve months ago, Novak Djokovic was deported from Australia by a Liberal Minister and a Liberal Government.
- This was justice. It is a victory for a whole movement.
- Only complete fools would have believed that he was a threat to anyone’s health last January.
- Having this anti-vaxxer tennis cowboy in Australia, winning tournaments, was too much for the political class to stomach.
Now, the still-unvaccinated Novak (as far as we know) has returned, possessing the appropriate visa okayed by a Labor Government operating in a post-COVID exceptionalism era. Oh, and he just won his tenth – yes, his tenth – Australian Tennis Open.
The political low-lives who arranged Djokovic’s short yet ignominious imprisonment and deportation are called Scott Morrison and Alex Hawke.
SPIVS
They are alleged to be conservatives. In reality, they are unprincipled political spivs, now mercifully out of office but, sadly, still collecting their parliamentary salaries. Salaries that are paid by us.
Djokovic seemed particularly emotional and very pleased with this particular win. The scenes after the match of the winner celebrating with his family and close supporters up in the stands were memorable.
Indeed, they were life affirming. This wasn’t just a tennis match. It was justice. This is a victory for a whole movement.
He said: “What a journey it has been for my family, my team and myself. I appreciate the patience and love you are giving me.
“This has been one of the most challenging tournaments I have ever played in my life, not playing last year, coming back this year and I want to thank all the people who made me feel comfortable.”
A champion player and a champion man, so often under-appreciated due to his (mis)fortune in sharing the career stage with two such stylish, charming, endearing and charismatic figures (Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal). But they never had to go through what Novak has.
BRAVERY
A wise twitter guy opined: “One year after being banned from Australia for refusing to take the worthless COVID shot, @DjokerNole wins the Aussie Open. This is what actual bravery, conviction & validation looks like. Love it. Novak is the GOAT & he was 100% right on the COVID shot.”
Djokovic also won Wimbledon in 2022. He wasn’t allowed into America to play in the US Open in 2022. On Joe Biden’s say-so. It was singularly appropriate that one Bill Gates was there in Melbourne to witness it. Photos of Gates show him looking especially forlorn, bordering on miserable.
Gates is the Sultan of Vaccines. The Djoker is the prince of COVID dissidents.
One wants to vaccinate the world, possibly for quite sinister reasons. The other is a champion of informed medical consent and the right to medical privacy. And freedom of movement, to boot. A little schadenfreude is surely permissible in relation to poor, sad old Bill.
DEPORTED
That, of course, is why Djokovic was deported. Only a fool would have believed that he was a threat to anyone’s health last January.
No, the fascist Morrison regime just couldn’t stand even to lose a single battle in its war on COVID scepticism.
The government of the seedy and unlamented Scotty along with his sidekick Alex Hawke, the NSW Party machine man who contributed massively to Morrison’s defeat by rigging NSW Liberal pre-selections, were deeply invested in vaccines – if not financially then ideologically.
In January 2022, before all the conclusive evidence on the vaccines was in, there was still a propaganda war to be won. “Safe and effective” had to stick.
Having this anti-vaxxer tennis cowboy on the prowl in Australia, winning tournaments, was just too much for the political class to stomach. No one in politics save a few (familiar) heroes demurred.
So out he went.
The cringeworthy shamelessness of the COVID Liberal Government should never be forgotten. And the media’s now more subtle campaign against all things Djokovic continues. His father is a Russian supporter, possibly a Russian war criminal.
Have him deported!
The Murdoch-owned Daily Telegraph had this to say: “Of course, it is important to remember the entire scandal could have been avoided if Djokovic had simply accepted the COVID-19 vaccine. The grounds for his deportation remain in every way valid.
The clown journalist’s name is Tyson Otto. Marching to the Murdoch drum. Perhaps Otto might do a story on vaccine injuries and deaths, or the silencing of dissident doctors, or the role of nudge units, or the vaccination status of those languishing in hospitals and morgues, having been vaccinated multiple times then getting ‘plagued’, or the origins of totalitarianism. Just sayin’, Tyson.
Very, very churlish. Suck it up, princesses. Meanwhile, Bill from Microsoft will now be able to get back to planning the next pandemic.
And killing the Western economy.PC
A very good and correct article. Please consider though that “cowboy” is a still extant good and honourable profession.
All to win an election,how well did that work, the intelligence of some is frightening.
