on djokovic s route of getting to australia. yeah, djokovic is basically amassing a timeline of what djokovic has been up to for the last month raises a bunch more questions as to how he got here and whether he was doing things the right way. most recently found one of the forms released by the courts yesterday, which was this australian travel declaration, in which djokovic was warned to be honest under penalty of you know, penalties for misstating things on that form. and he said he had not travelled to any other countries in the previous 1a days, he checked the no box for that question, which was not correct, because djokovic had travelled between serbia and spain in that window. he also is raising more questions with his story about having a positive test on 16 december, which is a couple of days before he was at other events in public, including one large event with a bunch of kids, all not wearing masks, and that would have been the day after djokovic received a positive
podcast no challenges remaining and he s in melbourne. he is awaiting the australian open, but you have more hands more in your hands on that. as we wait to see what route the immigration minister might take, whether djokovic is allowed to continue, you seem to have unearthed some more detail as to novak djokovic s own route to getting here. djokovic is basically amassing a timeline of what he has been up a timeline of what he has been up to for the past few months, raises a lot of questions as to how he got here and whether he was doing things the right way. one of the forms released by the courts yesterday, which was the courts yesterday, which was the australian travel declaration, djokovic was warned to be honest under penalty of. penalties for mistaken things in that form. and he said he had not travelled to any other countries in the past ia days, he takes the know box, which

i don t know if it will come before or after the draw, clearly it would be best to come before, but we re also told the djokovic s lawyers will almost certainly appeal a decision if he is again deported. that would send the case back to the same judge, thejudge anthony kelly, and we re alo told the federal court may not be able to sit on friday local time, which means it would have to extend out to monday, the first day of the tournament. what is unclear is whether djokovic, if he is to appeal a potential re cancellation, whether he ll be sent back to immigration detention or whether he ll actually be allowed to remain in the community and potentially play the open while his case is being adjudicated, although that would be relatively extraordinary. as of last night we reported the investigation had widened and they are looking at his isolation breaches in serbia, they re looking at his potential illegal entry into spain and the errors he made in his australian travel declaration as we
