About this episode

The world is watching Australia deal with Novak Djokovic, the number one men’s tennis player on the planet.  Novak wants to compete in the Australian Open next week – and potentially win a record-breaking tenth Aus Open title.

 

The Morrison government wants him deported – it says he hasn’t complied with Border Force requirements to secure the necessary visa.    Djokovic sued – and won.  But will the federal government let him win.....?

 

The Guardian’s Paul Karp has followed the Djokovic saga since day one.  He knows the ins and outs of what has become a major international story.....OR is it a timely distraction for the Morison government??
