wikileaks Only criminals try to kill and hide truth

allaboutgold There is undoubtedly a connection between Australia's PM & the NYT ect calling for Assange to be released & now this new trumped up social media campaign against China. How can you launch a 'freedom of speech' movement with Assange behind bars? Shows our hypocrisy on steroids.

wikileaks I really hope he sticks to his word. This has gone on too long. Send that poor man home to his family

wikileaks Why did Australia vote against today's UN resolution on Palestine

wikileaks Time for Australia govt to stand with its most famous citizen who is unjustly targeted and tortured

Hopefully, there will soon be an end to this dreadful saga. The extent to which a State has gone to punish and crucify a person, is abhorrent and deplorable. All for exposing the dirty laundry of a State. Enough is enough!

Albanese government requests states impose coal price capsThe federal government is facing a stand-off with the states over energy price caps as it tries to use a legal loophole to avoid paying compensation to coal producers. Sky News Political Reporter Joel Philp says it seems the government could avoid paying billions of dollars in compensation to coal producers for imposing price caps by asking the states to do it themselves. 'The Australian is reporting that the New South Wales and Queensland governments, that the request has been made of them,' he said. He is already on the way out So, after a couple of weeks working on the problem, the new Prime Ministers solution is to hand the problem to someone else? Seriously How about he stay in the country and focus on the real problems The muppets are officially in charge. When this blows up, as it must, ppl may yet realise Labor has no idea what it’s doing.
