There's an application for an interim injunction preventing Novak Djokovic being deported until after. a final hearing at 10am on Monday. It'll be heard at 6pm tonight - unless the govt decides to let him say until then.

Christopher Tran is getting instructions still on the government's position.

Nick Wood, for Djokovic, says the hearing on Monday is "tight".

"Tennis Australia has indicated they would need to have a definitive position on Mr Djokovic’s participation in the tournament by Tuesday for scheduling purposes."

But Judge Anthony Kelly isn't being told what to do.

"I'm sorry, if I can say with the respect necessary, the tail won't be wagging the dog here. If Tennis Australia decides to do what it wants to do in running is enterprise it will."

Here's where we're at - there's three pathways for the govt to go down in the next two hours:

1 - they agree to let ND stay until the final decision Monday
2 - they push to deport him tonight or tomorrow so the injunction needs to be decided tonight
OR

3 - they still want to deport him but not straight away, so the injunction can be heard tonight with a decision later, or it can be pushed back to tomorrow.
