Thank you for publishing Mandy’s recent article re: the abuse of process and inaction regarding Julian Assange.
I can’t wait to see how long it takes for the Greens to initiate a serious nationwide protest to end this ten year incarceration and bring him home. Failure to do so represents complicity in the corruption and coverups that Julian Assange has exposed.
Perhaps Mandy, as the Greens representative in the region (and hopefully next local Greens member), could keep the community informed of this matter, before he dies.
If we leave it to the government we will have another execution of an Australian citizen on our hands, like the ‘dobbed in’ Bali Nine.
It’s truely unbelievable that he is condemned to torture for alleged corruption when what he was exposing was corruption itself.
You either stand for justice and compassion or stand for nothing.
