Yes he can technically leave but he wants to play in the tournament and is suing the Australian government for his bad treatment.Do they still have him detained? They didn't release him? What's going on? He has been kidnapped
What I’ve heard is that Novak and the Aus Open tried to be slick.
The Australian government grants temporary vaccine exemptions to Australians that got COVID in the last few months.
Only Australians can take advantage of this.
Tennis Australia, allows non-Australians and Australians to get vaccine exemptions if they received COVID recently.
So what happened is that Novak got a vaccine exemption through this loophole but the thing is that, it’s enough to let him play but not enough to enter Australia.
All the right wing people are supporting Djokovic cuz he's not vaccinated, the lefties are kinda quietI’m happy he won as it embarrasses the right-wing here but two things must be noted:
1. He won based on the fact that government did not give him enough notice of cancellation not on the validity of his visa.
2. The minister can still cancel his visa without oversight.
If you disagree with this then you’re probably left-wing in Australia.

Most of the the right-wing federal politicians in Melbourne are anti-vax and support Djokovic
