Further twists in Novak Djokovic visa scandal

From Morning Report, 8:40 am on 12 January 2022

In the latest twist in the Novak Djokovic visa scandal, Australian border officials are now investigating whether the men's world tennis number one incorrectly filled out his travel declaration.

Djokovic's entry form stated he had not travelled in the 14 days before his arrival in Australia - yet social media posts appear to show him in both Serbia and Spain during that fortnight.

It comes as the saga turns highly political, with the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison fielding calls from the Serbian leader, as his immigration minister considers whether to deport him.
