By Associated PressMELBOURNE: Novak Djokovic has acknowledged that his Australian travel declaration form contained incorrect information, as the government nears a decision on whether to deport the Serbian tennis star, who is not vaccinated against COVID-19, on public interest grounds. Hawke has been considering the question since a judge reinstated Djokovic's visa on Monday. His exemption to compete was approved by the Victoria state government and Tennis Australia, the tournament organizer. If Djokovic’s visa is cancelled, his lawyers could go back to court to apply for an injunction that would prevent him from being forced to leave the country. Sydney-based immigration lawyer Simon Jeans said if Djokovic's visa were cancelled, he would likely be held in immigration detention.
