English broadcaster and journalist, Piers Morgan has applauded the Australian Government for rejecting Novak Djokovic’s last-ditch appeal against his deportation.
WuzupNigeria reported that Djokovic lost his bid to avoid deportation from Australia on Sunday, with a Federal Court unanimously rejecting his appeal to stay in the country and defend his Australian Open title.
Recall that the tennis star was hoping to defend his title at the Australian Open next week but found himself arrested and detained over an issue with his visa.
Reacting to the news on Sunday morning, Piers tweeted: ‘BREAKING: Covid rule cheat, immigration form liar, & anti-vaxxer icon Novak Djokovic loses final appeal against deportation & will be thrown out of Australia without being able to compete in Aus Open. Good. ’
Metro UK reports that Piers had condemned Djokovic when the scandal unfolded last week, he had tweeted: ‘So, you lied on Australian immigration forms (and have now chucked some poor aide under a double-decker for it), brazenly broke Serbian covid rules, and deliberately endangered other people’s health.”
