Australia’s deputy prime minister has condemned the “disgusting” behaviour of some Australian Open tennis final fans who loudly booed mention of the country’s Covid-19 vaccine rollout.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The booing happened during an awards ceremony after the men’s final, when a tennis official referred to global vaccine efforts as a sign of optimism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Australia started its national inoculation programme on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some cities saw anti-vaccination protests held at the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The men’s number one player Novak Djokovic won the final against Russian Daniil Medvedev on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Djokovic has been criticised in the past<\/a> for appearing to have a casual attitude towards virus-related restrictions and faced scrutiny last year over comments he made about vaccinations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Disgusting’<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The demonstration was criticised by Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“I don’t like booing at any event, and certainly any sporting event,” he told reporters in Canberra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“This vaccine is going to get our country back to some sort of pre-Covid normality.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
