I wouldn’t want to come back to Australia, the government has turned their back on him for years. If Mexico open the door to him, I say give him a luxurious life with his family in a place like Acapulco to make up for the pain and suffering he’s endured.

JennyTa22393082 And thank you is due to the Mexican President. Julian needs to be brought home through our open doors in Australia. First we need a LEADER that is not a pathetic fool . Secondly we need a LEADER that cares enough for a fellow Australian that is NOT a TERRORIST but treated as one.

Yes we can be rid of him once and for aml

wikileaks Mexico needs to worry about opening it’s doors to take back it’s parasitic criminals from the US… but you can have Julian if you take your trash back along with him. 💯

❤️ Mexico for getting involved

UK don't see their move as extreme, trying to masquerade instead as tough. What is happening there is paving the way for a kind of future authoritarianism

FreeAssangeNOW

And when he's voted out,the next president will extradite him to the US ,and we begin the fight all over again? No, he should join Snowden in Russia.

wikileaks Australia next?

wikileaks Apoyo de López Obrador a Julián Assange.

Warmongers are terrified the World will actually learn about the terrible things they do to their fellow man.

Has AlboMP responded to the offer with anything more than “meh”

Australia says what? 🦗

Could they take Jordon De Goey as well......?

And Albanese is too weak to raise the issue directly whereas Mexico's President has the guts to do so.

Mexico looking at entering the election interference business?!?

You can have him. !!

I thought the USA was keeping him?

We don't need Mexico - he has his own country.

Lol, I bet they would.😆

It's not the first country that has made this offer. Aussies should take more pride in our hero, Julian Assange.

Will he shut up with his moaning if he goes to Mexico?

Good send his body to mexico

Here's Mexico doing more for Assange than the previous ScottMorrisonMP government. Of course, that's hardly surprising given the ineptitude of the previous government.
