these discretionary broad powers, to again cancel that visa, that happened on friday. so here we are on sunday, and appeal to the full bench of the federal court and if novak djokovic loses, there is no automatic right of appeal but of course, time is of the essence, it is lunchtime here in melbourne and the australian open starts in less than 2a hours when novak djokovic would be expected to defend his australian open title. so time is very much of the essence here. the people and the noise you can hear behind me are around a0 or 50 supporters of novak djokovic stop they are pretty confident he will not only win this appeal but also go on to defend his australian open title but of course it is pretty soon going to be in the hands of the three federal courtjudges. hands of the three federal courtjudges- hands of the three federal court judges. hands of the three federal court udues. ., court udges. and if he were to lose courtjudges. and if he were to lose heat might courtjudges
