It’s the entirely arbitrary and unappealable nature of the ministerial powers I have a problem with. Djokovic’s case highlights it well.

Like he can follow every rule, apply for and be granted a visa, then arrive and have it cancelled, and get thrown in jail and deported, with essentially your only recourse being “hope they fucked up the paperwork.” The overwhelming majority of people faced with something like this won’t have the resources or profile to hire a legal team to fight, and in almost all of those cases there is no transparency. Just a decision, often with at least an implied threat of “leave quietly or we’ll make it worse.”
I mean if they didn’t want him here, they didn’t have to grant him the visa.
