Crowd Boos at Coronavirus Vaccines and Victorian government

Tennis Australia's president has been booed during the presentation ceremony at the Australian Open after mentioning the COVID-19 vaccine and the Victorian government.

"With vaccinations on the way, rolling out in many countries around the world, it's now a time for optimism and hope for the future," she said, before pausing to let the crowd settle.

Ms Hrdlicka then thanked the state government, saying: "Without you we could not have done this."

This led to another chorus of boos.


Ms Hrdlicka finished her speech by thanking fans, and calling those in attendance a "very opinionated group of people".
