If the United States’ government is making an example of Julian Assange – an Australian, NOT a US citizen – to dissuade other journalists from publishing the truth about illegal US government activity, then it is the job of the Australian government to protect him.
Whether or not he is found to have committed a crime, it’s terrifying that the rule of law protecting Australians from capricious government action can be trashed in this manner.
Julian has lost 13 years already to confinement, and now the United States is threatening him with life in prison for telling the truth in exposing the murder of innocent civilians during the ironically named Operation Enduring Freedom.
The United States values its relationship with Australia. It values our newly minted deal providing critical access to our mineral wealth. It values its ability to maintain a permanent military presence in the South Pacific through our close and longstanding relationship.
Our government needs to recognise its role in protecting one of our own and lean on the advantages Australia provides to the US to bring Julian Assange home now.
