How Australians have responded to Djockovic: the Great Hysteria continues unabated.
This is just a TINY selection of tweets:
Wouldn’t it be fabulous if, when #novakdjokovic walked into the court, every single person got up and left?#AustralianOpen

Tennis star #NOVAKDJOKOVIC held on airport tarmac in Melbourne for 4 hours. He should not be let in to defend his Australian title as he's not been jabbed. No exceptions for pampered privileged sport stars

I bet #novakdjokovic was one of those students at school who always had a letter from his mum excusing him from doing his homework. #AusOpen #AusPol2022

Just because someone is good at sports doesn’t make them good at being a human being.#novakdjokovic

Barred by from entry to Australia because he's not jabbed #novakdjokovic now seeks legal challenge to Govt decision. The laws of the land apply to everyone but him he thinks. Pampered twit

Hey Tennis Australia
This could be the first time someone is booed off court at the Australian Open before their match even begins! #wellplayed

Haven’t seen my parents in 2 years and they haven’t met my daughter. I can’t leave Australia bc I’m on a bridging visa and they can’t get in despite being triple vaxxed. But great to know anti-vaxxer twats are welcome as long as they can hit a ball. #novakdjokovic

I am so impressed with all the sportspeople around the world with debilitating medical conditions
Who can all perform at such a high level#novakdjokovic #AusOpen— Strolling rabbi of no fixed address (@strollingrabbi) January 4, 2022
@CraigTiley and @AustralianOpen you should be ashamed.#novakdjokovic #exemption

I work with someone who was separated from their wife & child for 18 months when they got stuck overseas. They missed 18 months of their child’s first 2 years of life. But hey, it’s cool to come here if you’re a tennis player #novakdjokovic #Covid_19 https://t.co/8Bb93mfYE1

We should feel angry and confused. Politics and Money💰 win again, we shouldn’t be shocked 😳🤦♂️#novakdjokovic #AusOpen

A slap in the face to our healthcare workers,teachers,elderly people,for those who have queued for hours to get tested or vaccinated,for the kids that are still not eligible for vaccines, and for all of us that have not seen our families overseas in years! #novakdjokovic #AO2022 https://t.co/lA9sHj9S37

What acute major medical condition could #novakdjokovic have in order to get an exemption approved? I mean he’s an elite athlete, seemingly in peak fitness capable of playing 4-5hr long matches in 40+ degree heat. Setting an interesting precedent here potentially. #auspol #atagi pic.twitter.com/zgd2FgRwz3

There will be wild scenes on Melbourne talkback radio tomorrow morning. Many people I know who have passing-to-zero interest in tennis hold very strong views on Djokovic. #novakdjokovic #ausopen #tennis

To get into Australia I had to fill out multiple government forms, do 3 PCR tests and prove I was double vaccinated before I got on to the plane. And I’m a citizen. #AustralianOpen2022 #novakdjokovic

#NovakDjokovic can go and f@ck himself. No #vaccine? No #AusOpen #tennis. P!ss off parasite.

He might have an exemption to play in the Australian Open, but those Victorians who’ve endured COVID-19 restrictions for two years won’t welcome Novak Djokovic warmly when he lobs at Melbourne Park | OPINION by @NeilMcMahon #AusOpen #NovakDjokovic https://t.co/wCs8MIWfaF
