CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

Back to the Djokovic case for a moment.

Taking his name out of the equation, the whole episode is a bit concerning.

A person applies for a visa, and is granted entry.

Upon arrival there is an issue with paperwork vis type et al, and the visa is cancelled.

The case goes to a judicial tribunal, and a judgement call is made weighing up all the details and ruling in favour of the person who was deemed to have done what was required and the visa reinstated.

A politician has elected to cancel the visa because its in public interest to do so.


Forgetting Djokovic for a moment we have an example of another tennis player who was allowed in on same travel visa and only detained upon his arrival which speaks for the fact that the regulations aren't clear and the visa decision a bit of a misnomer.

I dont really like the sound of this.  The majority of the justification seems to sit in territory of we have been locked down and he should be too.  Mranwhile when Anastasia went to Tokyo last year we barely could visit people in their own homes, and when scomo went to the g8 summit in the UK, I believe we might have been in lockdown.

I have issues with all of this, and the genre public service response.  Some hyper aggressive adherence to rules and regulations that are a bit dehumanised in all of.  I know of staff who have medical exemptions from getting the vaccine based on clear side effects (Bells Pawlsy) which has resulted in her not being allowed to work in her job in elective surgery any more, and required to work from home.

I know of another mum who has been terminated in lieu of early maternity leave because thats the rule.  Get vaccinated or don't.  She was a high risk pregnancy and there was no ifs buts or maybes.  She even said I won't return until fully vaccinated and no early mat leave was allowed.

There are a lot of elements of we can enforce the rules in a much better fashion which doesn't result in the ostracising of people.  Not all work for everyone and some people like Novak and Liam Jones have to suffer the consequences of not getting vaccinated, but there is an element of mismanagement going on here that is being swept by.  I dont like that.
