nowt to do with australia or our visa rules, that's up to serbia to censure him if he's broken some local covid rule
Our minister does have the power to cancel his visa if he thinks he's of bad character, but that's a formal power and my guess he'd be too pussweak to use it, instead they tried to circumvent due process when novak tried to enter the country, and got deservedly toasted on appeal.
And if they are blocking people caught dodging their own country's covid regs, I don't think boris is going to be touring the antipodes touting some trade deal any time soon, though I do feel the clocks ticking with him anyway

Well, hang on. Making a false declaration on the entry form would be sufficient to get anyone else kicked out of the country. Why not him?

sorry, I thought you were referring to the headline about him breaking serbian covid regs
actually, people make oversights quite often on questions about where you've travelled. generally as it's not information that would have been grounds for refusal, there is nothing particular wrong with visiting spain, they wouldn't consider as you say "sufficient to kick anyone out of the country" and I very much doubt they'll rely on this ground as a basis. There's issues around consistency of decision making. if Border Force recind novak visa on this ground, they'll be asked to justify why they don't do this with other people. Mrs cumquat is qualified in immigration law, and as I said, we followed the case quite closely.
a lot of the reporting, especially around his appeal, has been quite poor and inaccurate even around the basic facts of the case.

Which makes asking the question redundant. Why is it on the form in the first place if it's not enforced?

Huh
From my years of watching Prisoner Cell Block H I always thought they were saying pissweak. This has shattered my worldview!

I probably should retire it. you never heard "pussy" on prisoner, not for about 20 years later
