Serbian prosecutors have weighed in on Novak Djokovic’s COVID certificates, stating they are valid and should have been accepted by Australian officials

Prosecutors in Serbia say there’s no evidence to suggest that Novak Djokovic submitted falsified COVID test documents to Australian authorities.

Earlier reports casted doubt over the tests, suggesting the serial numbers were out of sequence with others from a similar time.

The tests were provided to exempt the tennis star from Australia’s rules barring unvaccinated people

His visa application was ultimately rejected and he was unable to play in the Australian Open after being deported.

His deportation from the country however was over coronavirus vaccination rules, not on the grounds that the documents were falsified.

The Belgrade Public Prosecutor’s office has now said that the Health Ministry confirmed the documents were authentic.

Erin Patterson’s murder trial has increased insurance costs for mushroom foraging tours, though insurers deny a direct link.

In Short:
Erin Patterson’s trial for poisoning relatives has raised concerns about rising insurance costs for mushroom foraging tours in Australia, impacting operators like Feresh Pizarro and Natasha Vorogushin. Despite increased premiums, the Insurance Council maintains these changes are not directly related to the trial, highlighting a need for better public education on fungi.

The trial of Erin Patterson, who poisoned three relatives with death cap mushrooms, has affected mushroom foraging tours in Australia.

Operators report rising insurance costs, though the Insurance Council of Australia states these increases are unlikely linked to the trial. Patterson was recently convicted, prompting concerns among tour guides like Feresh Pizarro, who claims her insurance premiums have skyrocketed, threatening her business viability.

She explains the importance of educating the public about fungi, which play significant ecological roles. Similarly, Natasha Vorogushin from Morwell faces challenges obtaining adequate insurance for her foraging workshops, illustrating industry-wide issues.

Insurance costs

Richard Ford, a tour operator in Mount Macedon, also notes high insurance costs looming over his activities. Despite these challenges, the Insurance Council asserts that insurance adjustments often do not arise from perceived risks associated with singular events, such as Patterson’s case.

University of NSW actuarial studies professor Michael Sherris believes that while premiums are rising generally, this specific trial is unlikely to affect the insurance landscape for mushroom foraging.
