So Novak got a medical exemption. Pathetic. Didn’t Dan say he wouldn’t be playing if not vaccinated?

This from Merlino.

Victoria's Deputy Premier James Merlino said in December that there would be no special favours for superstars.

"They're the rules. Medical exemptions are just that — it's not a loophole for privileged tennis players."

Sorry, that’s exactly what it is

Can't wait to hear his response. Probably just another cheap dig at the federal opposition and that's it.

Word seems to be the federal government have approved it.

Regardless it is an abject disgrace and I'm backing it will be overturned faster than you can say backdown.
Yep, absolute joke. Unfortunately I think he's already on the way over.

The feds may have let him in to the country but both the state govt and AusOpen officials could still prevent him from playing. I'm tipping McGowan would stop him from playing if it was held in WA.

Not clear on what Tiley actually means here. You get an exemption just because you tested positive in last 6 months? Tiley doesn't give a f*ck. Just get the $$$$$ in.

Novax Jerkovic should prove as to why he has an exemption.

I’m interested to see the crowd reaction at his games, in light of this.
Only reaction that would be noticed, would be for no-one to turn up for his games n that won't happen.
Pretty certain that fans who boo him will be intimidated by security into shutting up by threat of eviction n that the media narrative will start to run along the lines of Novax is legitimately exempted so Aussie fans are boorish bogans for booing him.
