    To be fair, she's bound to get more press asking about her performance at a tennis match rather than a fashion event. Even then, she's less obligated to answer them.

    They should just not televise any of her matches and excuse her from any of her media duties then work out how much of the money is funded by the media interest and dock it accordingly from any earnings. I'm sure she would be alright with that.

    I appreciate anxiety etc are real issues but cocking up a tennis match and being asked what went wrong is hardly in the same league as a goalkeeper in front of opposing fans getting hammered all match and then meme'd into oblivion for any mistakes, never mind hammered by all fans for it etc

    I dunno. Tennis breeds mental parents and all the media she did after winning the US Open had deer in the highlights written all over it.

    This missing Chinese tennis player. Storm in a tea cup or genuinely she's been contained by the authorities?

    It's China. She said something bad about a waxwork. Even you can join the dots on that one.

    Quite. We can add the IOC to the growing list of shithouse international organisations that are happy to be puppets for that dangerous, dangerous country.

    I thought they'd already said there won't be, so it appears they have some backbone.

    And finally, Seb Coe really is shameless.

    Lord Sebastian Coe, President of World Athletics told BBC's Today programme that the question of where Peng is and if she is ok had been "achieved by quiet diplomacy" by the IOC.

    "Nobody is suggesting that there aren't questions to be asked. Nobody is suggesting that there aren't challenges. Look we have to maintain international relationships across sport," he said, adding that Thomas Bach will be visiting Peng Shuai privately when he arrives in Beijing in January.

    He's in the Tony Blair category of stateless illuminati slime god, 'maintaining international relationships' everywhere he slithers.

    What have the IOC got to do with this anyway?

    While Djokovic can, obviously, get fucked why have Australia waited until he's arrived only to THEN go "actually nah", cancel his visa and deport him?

    Because they were "allowing him to show his evidence of vaccine exemption" which he said he had, but doesn't. Or, in reality:

    More likely, as with ostensibly all decisions these days, zero thought was given to the actual consequences of concocting this bizarre 'anonymous exemption process' [clearly specifically designed to let him in] beyond the idea of specifically letting him in. Reasonable backlash ensued and the u-turn was then deftly, and hilariously executed.

    I've not followed it that closely, but lol at all the politicians coming out as if they would have had no input into the process. As if Tennis Australia [or whoever] is at liberty to unilaterally set Australian border policy. Both state and federal hands will have been all over it, so I'm not sure anyone has really been playing a blinder here.

    He's an anti vaxx loon, terrified it'll interfere with whatever other shit he's regularly pumping into his body.

    Andrews said last month that he wouldn't be given an exemption it was the Federal Government that let him into the country knowing full well he would be turned around. The Victorian Government have been consistent this whole time.

    'The best man in the world' is a big claim. I know Desmond Tutu's just opened up a vacancy in the top few, but even then I'd say Djokovic is struggling.

    In his book Serve to Win, Djokovic described how in 2010 he met with a nutritionist who asked him to hold a piece of bread in his left hand while he pressed down on his right arm. Djokovic claims he was much weaker while holding the bread, and cited this as evidence of gluten intolerance.
    What a monumentally thick twat.

    And during an Instagram live, he claimed that positive thought could "cleanse" polluted water, adding that "scientists have proven that molecules in water react to our emotions."
    Earlier in the pandemic, Djokovic's wife repeated a 5G conspiracy theory on Instagram - her post was given a misinformation label by the social network.
    He should compete, honestly. He's had Covid, as has the Czech lass that's been held and Australia's covid strategy now is all about community spread.

    If the Joker isn't careful he'll find himself on Christmas Island for offshore processing.

    We could even put him next to some poor brown bloke who's been rotting away for a decade or so.

    This thread spells out the timeline of Djok. The day he was apparently diagnosed with covid, he was at an event and the next day, at a children's event. He's full of shit.

    Biloela family: Locked up by Australia for three years

    Priya suffers ongoing medical problems, including diabetes.

    She's also scared for her safety. Last year, she had encounters with one of the guards at the centre. One day a man came to her room, and hovered at the doorway, leering. He seemed drunk, she said.

    "I believe he wanted to try and see me or touch my body or something sexually, so I felt that in how he acted towards me," she told the BBC.

    "I pushed him back and I went outside because I was concerned about my safety."

    The family later filed a complaint and the guard was removed. But Priya is still scarred from the encounter.

    "I find it really hard to get back from that situation," she said.

    "Everyday I just don't feel safe anymore. They can unlock the rooms whenever they want."
