Australia has stolen the crown previously held by Canada as the most embarrassing country in the world. It’s not the Australian people’s fault but the fault of their heroically useless political class.

Australia has humiliated itself
Australia’s treatment of Novak Djokovic has been cynical, unfair and cruel.
So, the Australian authorities’ petty, vindictive, back-covering campaign against Novak Djokovic has backfired spectacularly.

The federal and Victorian governments have used Djokovic for political purposes.
It has blown up spectacularly in their faces.
