Responding to questions about the Novak Djokovic visa battle, Victorian premier Daniel Andrews says the matter is for Australia’s federal government to decide. Speaking about immigration minister Alex Hawke, Andrews said: ‘If the immigration minister wants to use his extraordinary powers, that’s a matter for him.’
Andrews also said the Australian Open tennis tournament is about more than one person. ‘You know, I think that Rafa and a few others have made the position very, very clear. This is – this tournament is much bigger than any one person.’
