WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's father on Sunday called on Australia to bring his son home, saying he was shocked to see his son's condition after his arrest in London last week.
John Shipton - who was secretary of the Wikileaks Party when his son tried to run for a senate seat in 2013 national elections - reportedly visited Assange every Christmas at the Ecuadorian embassy in London after he sought refuge there in 2012."DFAT and the prime minister should in a nuanced way do something," Mr Shipton told Melbourne's Sunday Herald Sun.
"It can be resolved simply to the satisfaction of all. There has been some talk in a meeting between a senator and a senior DFAT official to extradite Julian to Australia." Mr Shipton said he was shocked to see the state of his son when he was arrested at the embassy on Thursday on allegations of skipping bail, and on a US extradition warrant related to a huge leak of official documents.
LostMillions He jettisoned Australia when he decided he was above the law and his in the Equadorian embassy. Australia should return the favour.
More concerned for the cat to be honest.

Judge calls Assange's defence 'laughable' during court hearing | Sky News AustraliaA judge branded Julian Assange a 'narcissist' as he was found guilty of breaching his bail conditions - hours after he was forcibly removed from the Ecuadorian embassy in London following seven years of refuge.\n\nThe WikiLeaks founder is facing extradition to the US on charges of conspiring to break into a classified government computer, where he could face a maximum jail sentence of five years.\n\nAssange was detained by police after the Ecuadorian government withdrew his asylum - accusing the self-proclaimed journalist of interfering in international affairs and being discourteous to embassy staff.\n\nThe 47-year-old shouted and gesticulated as he was carried away in handcuffs by seven men and put into a waiting van on Thursday morning.\n\nHe later appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court where he was found guilty of breaching his bail conditions, meaning he also faces a jail term of up to 12 months in the UK when he is sentenced later at crown court.\n\n\n\n\n\n looks like a cross between a gnome and Santa Clause So the judge isn't impartial? That's so unfair! I don’t see why he’s so respected. Nothing but a self obsessed, arrogant, 🤬🤡
