How Novak Djokovic Defeated the Australian Government

Novak Djokovic defeated the Australian Government and has been released into the Australian community. How exactly did he and his legal team pull this off? Going deep on the law and procedures of visas and migration, immigration law professional Anka Sahin sat down with Discernable to lay out exactly what unfolded, from the airport detention, to the court case.  We also discussed the political machinations behind the scenes and how the Australian Government postures endlessly, finally ending our discussion on the plight of many people stuck inside the Australian migration system, often for years at a time.
