visa for a 2nd time. he was initially bought entry on arrival out of questions about his coven 19 vaccine exemption. but that decision was overturned by a judge or sarah clark joins us live now from brisbin, sarasota stoker through what's happening in court. and the arguments put forward by both sides now with a federal court hearing on on sunday in melbourne is under way of we've got a full bench that's 3 judges presiding over this tice joked, vicious, tame, spent about 2 hours, arguing the case. a big key argument is that the immigration minister, alex a hawk, took an illogical and irrational per approach and have cited no evidence on their key ground. that the government use was that they claim was it's a joke of it is a public health risk in australia and as a result, they won't dealt with, they canceled his visa now the job to which is tame, they finish their argument. we've now got the government and they've presented about 2 thirds of their tastes. the foundation of the cases, as i mentioned, i believe that drug, which poses a health risks not necessarily on an individual scale, but because of his high profile status, they're suggesting that any of these opinions or any of his statements. and of course we know he's a doesn't a, we opposes ment, vaccination that could be promotions and replicated by not just the anti vaccination groups, but also the public. now alex hoke, the immigration minister, has used his discretionary powers to overrides a tat, the visa, which was cancelled on monday. i saw that there is override the court's decision to re invoke that visa. and we do expect, given were about 2 thirds of the way through the government's case. we do expect the judge to make a decision on sunday, in the federal court, whether or not a joke of its will play in the australian night, but which starts on monday. yes sir. and what about public opinion on politics? have they been playing into this case? well, whoa, that's been released on sunday in the

number of type infections on a daily basis. we've had food shortages are in shape markets as a result of the panic. we've also had very big shortage of, of rapid adage and tests. so the government has a lot riding on this case. it is an election year at the federal government wants to make a point. they stating that rules are rules and i come under a time under bit of flack initially when the suggestion was that the government was allowing for jock a bitch to travel to australia to compete in the us. try an open, despite the fact he's been flouting a isolation rules and has his unvaccinated dust status, so certainly does a lot riding on the government out there on sunday. we do expect a decision to decide whether or not john, which i will be deported or not. and of course, if he is deported, he could face a 3, a ban on re entering australia. all right to sara clark live for stay in brisbin syrup. thank you. well meanwhile, in his native sabby a joke of riches visa
