#BREAKING Immigration Minister Alex Hawke has cancelled Novak Djokovic’s visa “on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so”.
Here's the full statement: 
There's probably three possible outcomes from here:
1: Djokovic accepts the decision and gets on a plane, giving up his chance of back-to-back #AustralianOpen wins.

2 & 3: He challenges the decision, asking for a judicial review of the minister's decision.
Either he is successful and this decision is overturned. and he can stay and play, or it's upheld and he's on a plane outta here.

Or yes, as @benzocco points out -
4: He's successful but the govt apppeals. Then there would have to be a decision about whether he's in or out of immigration detention and whether he gets to play in the Australian Open with that pending.

Probably a (or the) major factor in his decison now is the three year bar on him being granted a visa. He'd only be allowed in for certain reasons, including compassionate grounds.
