Opinion: Whether you like him or despise him, it is beyond him, given his circumstances, to protect his rights by himself, writes Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby_Joyce
The Assange issue inspires so much rhetoric, so much totemism, screams from the choir and three-minute diagnoses. To look at it clearly, you must leave your uninformed preconceptions at the door of the high-colour sideshow. You must also set aside the grave issues that surround the actions of Assange. They are a separate matter to the key issue: where was this individual when he was allegedly breaking US law for which the US is now seeking his extradition from London?. Assange did publish them.
are we prepared therefore to accept it as a precedent for applying to any other laws of any other nation to any of our citizens? I have no power in Britain or US over these matters. I have no standing in the British courts. But in that birthplace of the common law, I hope the learned come to a just conclusion. They should try him there for any crime he is alleged to have committed on British soil or send him back to Australia, where he is a citizen.
