What you're seeing at the hearing is Nick Wood SC and Paul Holdenson QC for Novak Djokovic, and Christopher Tran for Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews (& the Comonwealth).

As I understand it, Novak's lawyers are currently claiming that a passenger is required only to make a declaration—vaxxed, unvaxxed, or unvaxxed with exemption—but is not required to provide evidence of this.

Novak made the declaration. He even provided evidence, although he was not required to under law.

If true, this would further support the idea that mandates, suggestions, recommendations, etc. are not laws.
