Someone gave him a visa to come here, and it wasn't the state gov or TA.
No visa, no story. Everything else is just a red herring and good for headlines.
As the former Immigration Department deputy secretary said, by law, the process of granting a visa has to take into consideration the health risk that the arrival poses on the Australian public. They either did or they didn't. The court case is Joker vs Minister for Home Affairs.

State Governments don't determine who gets past the border gates.
But I agree with you on Vic Gov's back tracking on their No Vax policy for the AO. I'm finding it hard to blame Tiley, he represents TA, his role is to promote the game by having the best players here. Giving him powers to provide exemptions (if that is true) is just dumb, so I don't believe it.
