The consulate officer asked: "Do you have a criminal record"?
Applicant: "Is it still necessary"?

When I lived there, I was in the Midland-Swanview area. Dont get me wrong, I liked it there, but the racism is far more open and in your face than in Victoria.
As I said, McGowan was raised in a more racist version of Australian society, so he genuinely thought this was a good idea and totally not "comes off looking like a white saviour" stuff.
In a statement, Serbian embassy first secretary Ivana Isidorovic told Daily Mail Australia: 'Novak Djoković, since he is a citizen of Serbia, has the right to consular protection like any of our citizens – at the same time, Djokovic, as our most recognizable representative in the world, is the holder of a diplomatic passport, which should, in diplomatic theory and consular practice, guarantee him adequate treatment when crossing borders.
'Although the fact is that he is the best tennis player in the world, Serbia doesn’t expect any preferential treatment of Novak Djoković, but an adequate, professional approach of foreign authorities, which we are obliged to provide to every holder of our travel document.
'On the other hand, we do not expect that, because of his status as the best, he will be subjected to a particularly harsh treatment in order to serve as an example to others, just because of his popularity.'

If he is allowed in, it sets a bad precedent for boat people from Indonesia who have been treated so harshly by the Australian government. Djokovic is expected to be deported once all legal challenges have been exhausted.

Looks like he's going to win again I suspect. Federal Minister should not have the singular power to arbitrary overturn court decisions like that.
I wasn't even aware that stupid relic of the War On Terror era was still in effect.
