Again - this decision is indicative of just how broad the ministerial discretion powers are and just how little avenues applicants have.
It’s a different part of the law - but it’s one of the reasons the odds are so stacked against asylum seekers twitter.com/paul_karp/stat…

Djokovic Case Highlights Australia’s Cruel Immigration Policies
While the world number one tennis player, Novak Djokovic, spent four nights detained at an immigration hotel in Melbourne before a judge ordered his release, his case became a jolting reminder of Australia’s abusive treatment of refugees and asylum seekers who have been held in the country’s immigration detention system for years.

As Djokovic leaves 🇦🇺, a reminder that Australian politicians have long relied on “tough on borders” rhetoric to win elections.

Mehdi Ali case stains all of us with shame
On Friday my oldest daughter turned 15. Shes growing up fast but is still very much a child, not that she necessarily sees it that way. Mehdi Ali was the same age when he arrived by boat at Christmas Island, fleeing persecution in Iran. That was more than eight years ago. Last week Mehdi celebrated his 24th birthday in hotel detention in Melbourne, still locked up, surviving in limbo as to when or how he might be allowed to live the rest of his life free. His case hit the mainstream media because world No.1 tennis player Novak Djokovic was detained in the same hotel. The spotlight cant be all…

Sadly, the weaponisation of lockdown as a pointscoring issue and emotional trigger has led to a conflation of lockdown with all other public
