Police Deploy Pepper Spray on Novak Djokovic Fans!
By Aussie Cossack
We are preparing a huge Sydney – Melbourne support Convoy for Novak Djokovic and his fans.
Novak Djokovic had been released from detention after a judge overturned the decision to cancel his visa. But on leaving his hotel the tennis star was re-arrested according to reports as the Australian immigration minister attempts to overturn the judge’s decision to approve his appeal.
Here’s what others had to say:

This is about sending a message to the Australian people.
Novak was a gift for Comrade Dan and Herr Dutton.

Honestly what the hell has happened to this country? I cannot believe the way Novak is being treated, this government has lost the plot and it has to go! Novak is being treated like a criminal and I hope the world holds our oppressive government to account just as we all must do this coming election!

POLICE NEED TO STAND WITH THE PEOPLE! I have defended police every time they’ve been unfairly treated, but no more. I and sick of these police “just doing their job.” Their job is not to terrorise the innocent people. It is to deter and catch criminals. These police who apparently “don’t want to do this” MUST stand up now and say no. If every cop stood up and condemned the orders, then all of these innocent people would be fine and there would no riots or violence.

I hope he wasn’t rearrested but it looks like he was. You’re not the only person reporting this. Looks like the Australian Open has lost all of its integrity.

When will this madness end? As an Australian this is VERY embarrassing to watch unfold. The world is watching Victorian police tyranny in real time! FREE NOVAK

If this is true, then Australian government officials are showing that they can exercise separate arbitrary power to ignore a court ruling. Rich or poor, high or low, we are ALL supposed to be equally bound by the law and the decisions of the courts. In a country held together by the rule of law, the immigration minister should NOT have the power to do this. It shows that we are a bananna republic and certainly cannot be considered a ‘free’ country. The idea of Australia being ‘free’ has been exposed as a lie over the last two years. It’s not even really about the tennis or Novak Djokovic. His situation has just further exposed Australia for what it is – an authoritarian nanny state ruled by arrogant, pedantic, nasty bastards who are above the ‘law’ – which appears to be so foundationless that politicians can just ignore it, re-write it, change it and invent it to suit themselves. The elites use the concept of ‘obeying the law’ to shame and coerce the population into compliance, but then totally undermine it in a public way like this. They are treading a dangerous line and they are too arrogant and moronic to see it.

There are no words for this outrage. If this doesn’t wake the few remaining sheep up to what Australian governments are trying to do to this country and its people, I don’t know what will. I hope those coppers are thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Unbelievable.

Goodness all the man wants to do is play tennis and he’s landed in this pure crazy. So sad right now. Stay strong Novak and supporters. The rest of the players need to boycott the tournament and support Novak. Police absolutely disgusting. Last year and now people have given them nothing but respect . Even when they don’t deserve it and treat citizens like shit.
