Secondly, when Scott Morrison thought there was a political opportunity in this, he was all over it and now that it’s gone so badly, he wants to pretend it has nothing to do with him and it’s all Alex Hawke’s job and all of his fault.

But when things get difficult, as they have with this Novak Djokovic case, he’s nowhere to be found.
