Our reporter Paul Karp will be covering the Djokovic hearing today. He’s just sent this preview:
The Full Federal Court will sit today (commencing 9:30am AEDT) to hear Novak Djokovic’s bid to overturn the immigration minister, Alex Hawke’s, decision to cancel his visa.
According to court documents, Hawke’s decision was based on his satisfaction that Djokovic could pose a risk to “civil unrest” as he is a “talisman of anti-vaccination sentiment”.
