Good on Assange.
A modern day hero who exposed the corruption of the United States corrupt political ways.
He was then hunted down by the USA's revenge policies who used its power to exploit other nations to fabricate false (again corruption) crimes against him.
Australia's Prime Ministers were all too eager to support the USA and condemn one of their own citizens.
Anyone and everyone has the right to expose and whistle blow any corruption from any nation - even their own.
What we saw was a gutless and cowardly Australian Government(s) suck the dick of the USA to ruin the life of one of their own citizens.
The USA is not even part of the Commonwealth and yet, through the Prime Ministers, Australia serves the USA (Rogue, Privatised Political system based upon the politics of Italy, France and formerly German, more than the British way) - more than it serves the Commonwealth.
All that Assange exposed was proven to be correct and yet the 'truth' is a USA political lie for its about 'power', not the truth.
Australian Republicans are a bunch of Lefties and Media Celebrities that use English 'Royalty' (of the Entertainment Industry because Kings & Queens are 'Masters of Ceremony', not Military 'Emperors' or Political Ministers) as their excuse and justification for a 'political' change here.
Let alone just riding an Irish (anti-English) cliche Republic as their platform of reform. How original
Australia's 'Independence' is not against Great Britain (Political) and the United Kingdom (Royal Ceremonialism) - it's really against this rogue fake-Political entity called the USA - the most invasive (and corrupt) nation on the planet.
Australia's Independence is from being the USA's 51st or even 52nd State.
Australia's Independence is from the USA and that is what the world is waiting for - Australia to beat the USA and it's corrupt fake Politics that so many nations do not trust or adhere to, even at the cost of being called an 'enemy' by the USA and getting attacked.
This is why the world is Politically stuffed. Because the USA is currently the Fake Political god. Until the USA rejects it's German, French and Italian (+Greek) Political ways and reclaims the British way - which it rejected long ago. It will always be the Lie, not the Truth.
...Assange showed that its America who is the Criminal nation - not Australia.
