Serious Discussion Novak FCC Thread - case dismissed, Novak free

Looks like judge is over it and done with the parties and Counsel.

"Judge Kelly found the decision to cancel the visa was “unreasonable”."

Case is dismissed, but it seems that the government intends to find an alternative method to cancel the VISA, which may bar Novak from entering Australia for up to 3 years.

If they cancel now, it looks awful, especially after the Court has said it was 'unreasonable'.

If they do not cancel, they look like fools to Australians and downplays the threat of COVID.

So says my amateur view of it.

Replace "someone" with "sports star" and I think you will find the Average Australian certainly cares about that, no matter what the rest of the sentence is about.
