Was it North Koreans who captured him? They would be furious at foreign interference.

To those who are about to die.
We salute you.

Or, as they say in that privatised political system known as America.
Thoughts and prayers.  ;D

Before going to Ukraine, ASIO sent him to be a spy in China.

;D

The Russians execute mercenaries.

The poor bugger could already be dead.   :'(

ruzzia is increasingly executing Ukrainian POWs.

The Australian is not a mercenary, that is the Wagner Group and similar.

Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin (1 June 1961 – 23 August 2023) was a Russian mercenary until Putin bombed him.

Why the hell would you even bother with Ukraine if you are an Australian?

To access Australian taxpayer money and government resources.

<sarcasm>Yeah, because getting captured, beaten up, and potentially executed is so worth the government having to spend taxpayer funds to see if you are okay and allowed to be returned to Australia</sarcasm>.

He was just trying to build a reputation as a freedom fighter.

Would he have been better off if he was not Australian.

No, as I stated earlier ruzzia is executing more and more Ukrainian POWs. ruzzians are pigs.

He's probably getting drunk with his guards and telling them about how good a Tootheys Old is.

'Mercenarianism' does not warrant any political benefits like POW exchanges.
If Australia bails this Australian merc' out from Russia in any way possible. It condemns the Government to 'supporting' other Australians to go to the Ukraine War as 'Mercenaries'.
Especially when the Government has been saying Australians should NOT go to fight as Mercs in Ukraine.
Everything must be kept 'official' in dealing with the Ukraine War.
Mercenary 'Cowboys' are more like Black Marketing.

If this Australian is exchanged or released because Spend a Penny Wong paid $20m of taxpayers money for his release.
Then it will open the floodgates for more Australians to go to Ukraine and operate as Mercenaries (sometimes paid more than what the ADF/Govt pays its soldiers here in Australia) - knowing they have a Get Out of Gaol Free Card now.

The guy, a teacher - has bricks in his head.
Most likely he'll get a sledgehammer execution.

What the hell does that have to do with the argument about accessing Australian taxpayer money and government resources as a result of being captured in a war zone?
