Djokovic's last-gasp bid to avoid deportation suffered a potential setback on Friday when his case was transferred to the Federal Court, with Judge Anthony Kelly - who overturned the original cancellation - saying a new court and new judge would have to hear the challenge to the player's visa being cancelled again.    
But the Serbian's lawyers fought back, arguing in court on Friday night that Immigration Minister Alex Hawke had cancelled Djokovic's visa on the grounds his presence at the high-profile tennis tournament might excite anti-vaccination sentiment.

The reasons for Mr Hawke's decision have not yet been published.
Novak Djokovic celebrates after beating Russia's Daniil Medvedev to win their men's singles final at the Australian Open in 2021.

Djokovic has launched a last-ditch appeal to stay in Australia and defend his title at the Grand Slam which starts on Monday 
The minister's decision was 'patently irrational', Djokovic's lawyer Nicholas Wood told the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, adding that they wanted the challenge to the player's visa revocation to be heard on Sunday, so that he could play in the Australian Open on Monday should it be successful. 
It was confirmed by government lawyers that Mr Hawke was not seeking to detain the tennis star overnight, but he would be detained at the Department for Home Affairs and, after spending time with his lawyers preparing his case, he would then be taken back into detention on Saturday night.
Djokovic, the Australian Open defending champion, was included in the tournament's draw on Thursday as top seed and is due to face fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic for his opening match on Monday. 
The visa cancellation could mean the 34-year-old would be barred from receiving a new Australian visa for three years - except in compelling circumstances - potentially ruling him out of future Australian Open competitions.
A video on Friday evening showed a car - believed to be carrying the player - arriving at his lawyer's officers ahead of the hearing being announced.
Mr Wood requested the injunction against the Serbian's removal and appealed for him to be allowed to stay out of immigration detention as the case proceeds. 
'We are very concerned about time,' Mr Wood told the emergency hearing.
The Government told Djokovic's lawyers it had no intention of detaining him on Friday night.
Australia has cancelled Novak Djokovic 's visa for a second time, the country's immigration minister announced on Friday.
