A law in the Migration Act of 1958 gives the Minister personal power to cancel a visa if the person in question poses a risk, such as health, to the Australian population. An Immigration Department spokesman said Tuesday, “In accordance with due process, Secretary Hawke will look into the matter carefully.”

A judge had canceled Djokovic’s visa on Monday and released him from the accommodation facility for people obliged to leave the country. Border authorities at Melbourne Airport had initially withdrawn the 34-year-old’s entry permit.
