“Julian Assange can be freed with a phone call. The government can ring up their colleagues in the United Kingdom and say, you know:

‘send him home, his visa’s expired and serve the expiration date notice on him. Anything that the United States wants we can handle here’.

That is a clear possibility.”

“The 13 years we witnessed acquiescence to whatever the United States and the United Kingdom wanted to do to Julian.”

“All of the people of Australia have bound together and brought into being a meme that spread into government, into parliament, into the congress, that Julian must be returned home. So it’s our congratulations that Anthony Albanese says in Parliament: ‘I see no benefit in this persecution continuing.’ Well he doesn’t say persecution. I’ll help him out there.”
