That's the belief of an ex-Australian Border Force official, who rightly tipped a week ago that Immigration Minister Alex Hawke would revoke Djokovic's visa.

"My mail is that regardless of the court result, Djokovic will still be deported," the source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AAP on January 7.

The former ABF officer said Djokovic being "such a vocal anti-vaxxer" ultimately led to the world No.1's downfall, and posting on social media last week that he was coming to Australia with a "special exemption" was the final straw.

"That was like raising a red flag to a bull to the (Australian) government," the source told AAP.

"He's made such a big song and dance. When this pandemic first kicked off, he was partying at his own tournament shirtless on stage with other players.

"The bottom line is you need to be fully vaccinated to get into the country, unless you've got exemptions from certain things, and he hasn't.

"He's the world No.1 but because he's such a vocal anti-vaxxer, that's why he got looked at and why initially his visa got rejected."

Many have questioned how Djokovic was allowed to board a flight to Australia without the necessary visa.

"When you apply for a visa overseas, you get online and it's pretty much tick and flick. Australia doesn't have Border Force officers at every port around the world," the ex-officer said.

"We don't have the resources. It's impractical and it's not viable.

"So there's background checks done, they go through a process and ... you pop up in a database if you're a criminal or if you've got criminal history, you get looked at closely.

"Clearly Novak's not a criminal - we all know that. But because he's drawn so much attention to himself, that's what made him a target."

The former Border Force official said Djokovic was "quite likely going to get a three-year ban" from entering Australia.

"If your visa gets cancelled, especially if the immigration minister cancels your visa, it's automatic that you get a three-year ban," he said.

Under Australian law, anyone expelled from the country for three years following an adverse decision under section 133C(3), can apply for a waiver under "compelling" or "compassionate" circumstances.

Djokovic isn't giving up his fight to remain in Melbourne and contest the Australian Open, with legal action planned for the weekend.

Customers at Woolworths stores across the country will be limited to buying two packs of toilet paper and painkillers at a time.

Western Australian shoppers will also face limits on purchases of mince, sausages and chicken products.

The supermarket giant says the limits on toilet paper and analgesic products are a result of supply chain disruptions preventing the products from reaching shelves, as well as some pockets of increased demand.

The limit will ensure fair access to necessities, the company says.

It will apply in-store and online.

Similar limits were introduced at the start of the pandemic in 2020 as panic buying led to widespread shortages of toilet paper.

The WA limits are prompted by "excessive buying" of the meat products.

Woolworths Director of Stores Jeanette Fenske said it was an anxious time for customers, but pledged stores would remain open.

"We will continue to closely monitor product availability across our stores, with stock continuing to be sent to stores daily. Customers will notice some gaps on shelves but we're doing all that we can to meet demand," she said.

"We encourage everyone to be mindful of others in the community and to continue shopping in reasonable quantities."

Supply chain disruptions have led to empty shelves in Woolworths and Coles stores across the country, as truck drivers and other essential workers are hit by the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
