a judge overturned the australian government's decision to cancel his visa over corona virus rules. joke which is supporters gathered outside the court to celebrate decision. but the tennis stars sagat isn't over yet. the government may now use its powers to cancel joke, a vicious b on different grounds. australian open organizers had granted him and medical exemption from coven vaccination, but he was dramatically denied entry and detained because of the requirements that all non citizens coming to australia must be fully vaccinated for cove at 19. well to talk as through this story, i'm joined now by tennis commentator, steve pierce in melbourne. steve, i understand the judge has ordered jock of it to be released. has that happened yet? yes, it absolutely has. geography has been released and he's out of the immigration detention

for now. that the lawyers could joke of each clearly one the die largely on a matter of procedure that bite around. whether kind of 19, having had it in the last 6 months is a valid enough raisins coming to the country or not, wasn't examined in any debt by the judge. what. what the decision hinged on was the fact that border, for so far as he's, when they detained him and initially advised him of canceling his visa. they gave him a timeline effectively where he would be able to make some phone calls, find other ways of making different presentations to australia, beautiful officials. they gave him a timeline like that in the morning on that morning. i think it's the 6th of january. as it turns out they cancelled is, these are $742.00 nearly an hour earlier than the time that they given the minutes . that reasoning the judge and kelly came down on. joking aside, saying that by denying in that extra period, they denied him the chance to speak to tennis, a stranger in government to his legal team. so that he was effectively

a matter of procedural fairness. so it seems as if the government that they lawyers were happy to to understand that, that matter of fact, this wasn't followed then what subsequently happening is or, or might happen is another matter. ok, talking about what might happen, understand that lawyers for the government say that the immigration minister, australia's immigration minister still reserves the right to remove jock a bitch. he's only off on a technicality right now. could we end up sing further intervention by the government to boot him out? yeah, we absolutely code. i think that's a very much alive issue right now. it's only a matter of ours that alex hoke, the migration, the federal immigration minister, has that opportunity to effectively cancel this. these are again with a joke which can then appeal again, is another matter. but he but alex hall can definitely cancel these fees and he has that program under one of the sections of the immigration act. and if he chooses to do that, he really would be following what the federal government in australia has said all

along, which is that an infection in the last 6 months with nancy is not a reason. a fair reason that you can gain quarantine, entry to the country, which is what they've been saying for the last week. so it, the matter of the court hinges on those procedure. madison's training force, but do, does the government stand firm and cancel these these? and they're saying that this is the case. the joke of it is confirmed cases of 19, which i think was december 16th, he's not grounds billions come into the country. so what do you think state, are we going to save? draw cabbage play in this tournament or not? i'd say it's a 5050 at the moment. you know, the, the bull swan the everything swaying and joking, which is by this afternoon. but the fact that the government's lead lawyers made that reference immediately to which the judge said he was, you know, uncomfortable with that. with that reasoning, coming out a leads you to think that he's a very live prospect that the governments that may step in here and,

and effectively prevent joke of it from playing. so i, i think this could absolutely go either way in the next couple of hours. so thank you so much for bringing it up today to stay pierce, a commentator for australian open radio. so now military court, him jamar, has sentenced. alfred leader also cheated. 4 more years in prison, she was convicted on several charges, including possession of a licensed walkie talkies. the conviction is just the latest chapter in a trial that critics say is politically motivated. last month, the pro democracy leader was convicted of incitement and breaking corona, virus rules. me and merged opposed lead remains and detention. confronted with a slew of charges that could see young some, so she locked up for the rest of her life. the international community has denounced her jailing by me and mars military government, calling to legal campaign politically motivated. sushi was one seen as a beacon of human rights and the savior of me and mars democracy. thanks to her
