Overturned with costs....titter! It was always going to end that way. Djokovic was denied natural justice and procedural fairness in waht was proved to be an arbitrary decision. I met my Thai wife in Australia. At the time she had a departation order and, luckily, I was able to get it overturned and we stayed in Australia until she gained citizenship. Actually, it wasn't so much luck as having worked for government and knowing how the system worked. I always say to Thai people wanting to live in Australia that the trick is getting there in the first place. Once you are there, there are many ways to stay permanently and gain citizenship. I think it is the opposite for Thailand (at least in normal times). It is easy to get a visa to come here, but difficult to gain citizenship.

Not exactly true - he has been allowed to stay on a technicality - if immigration want to, they an still throw hime out on grounds of breaking Covid regulations. PS - Largest group of illegally staying immigrants in Oz is...the Brits. Edited January 10, 2022 by Thunglom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rohitsuk Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 My uncle was a "Name" at Lloyds of London and he told me when I was still a young man: insurance companies derive their profit from the perfectly valid claims that they are able to deny. QED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
