Apologies Arm79, I was wrong. It appears TA did have the authority to give the exemption. It also appears he had a "document" from the Department of Home Affairs
, although its not clear if this is a personalised doc or something his team just downloaded. Vic Gov's role is that they set up the review panel
Of course, this is all his lawyer's submission, they'll still need to prove it.

“The Exemption Certificate also recorded that ... the date of the first positive COVID PCR test was recorded on 16 December 2021, it had now been 14 days, and Mr Djokovic had not had a fever or respiratory symptoms of COVID-19 in the last 72 hours.”
The documents also reveal Djokovic had received a letter from the Department of Home Affairs informing him that his Australian Travel Declaration appeared to meet the requirements.
“The Declaration Assessment told Mr Djokovic that “(his) Australia Travel Declaration (had) been assessed”, and that “(his) responses indicate(d) that (he met) the requirements for a quarantine-free arrival into Australia where permitted by the jurisdiction of your arrival”, that jurisdiction being Victoria,” the documents read.
“Understandably, given that he:
“(1) held a visa unqualified by any relevant condition;
“(2) had received certification of a medical exemption from vaccination from the Tournament organiser, that certification being granted after review by a panel established by the Victorian State Government;
“(3) had received from the Department of Home Affairs a document informing him that he met the requirements for quarantine-free arrival,

The other funny thing is, he claims he tested positive on the 16th, but tweeted on the 18th a photo of him receiving his own stamp at a ceremony
