The 3 year ban is already in play the moment the Minister made the decision. He has 28 days to appeal. However he will be detained unless he can get a stay order from the courts or the Govt agrees to it until the appeal is heard.

Thank you, that answered the question I asked above.
Makes you wonder why Djokovic chose the path he did. I have a kind of saying - don't argue with bouncers. It could equally apply to law enforcement.
Whatever the rights and wrongs, if someone wields an absolute power then you really have to be super careful, play by (their) book and jump through the hoops. Either Djokovic, or his agent, has given the authorities something to point to when they throw the book - and this was highlighted to Djokovic (according to the interpretation above) on at least a couple of occasions. He could have (should have?) taken the hint.
You just don't call the bouncer a thick shoot. You know how it's going to end.

I think the Oz govt also spent a lot of time investigating what else he did prior to his entry. Respected German investigative weekly Der Spiegel queried the QR code for his PCR test and found that it was issued 10 days after the date originally claimed.
My guess is that he won't appeal as too many things will come out.

I don't pretend to know the Aussie system, but you can read live updates on the current hearing here:

It's possible that he's playing to his home audience for political power reasons. Klitschko the boxer is the mayor of Ukrainian capital city. He would be a good role model for Djokovich but imho Djokovich isn't as good a political prospect as Klitschko who is not just a supremely successful boxer but highly intelligent. I don't think Djokovich is as well rounded. However he'll certainly get a few years mixing with the great and good of his home nation after this.

So, yes, we must head out for a walk and enjoy the sun.... profiter as the French would say.

One thing you can say for him is that he has certainly given the Australian Tennis Open a lot of publicity !

Poor old Djocko is back in Stalagluft 19. This is turning into a real cliffhanger.

Apparently he could have gone for a two week quarantine as an unvaccinated visitor. But he didn’t want to do that either.
That wouldn't help his cause one bit if true. Some might see arrogance in that.

It can be a 3 year ban.
Personally, I think deporting him and banning him for a year would be a better option for the Australian government.
