In recent weeks, Darwin's longtime activist and civil liberties campaigner Robert Wesley-Smith has been sending this blog emails about the looming Old Bailey verdict in the American attempt to extradite Julian Assange of Wikileaks fame . In these emails he referred to Assange as the Magnetic Boy Hero, a reference to the time he lived on Magnetic Island , Queensland , with his mother . The above illustration is from the latest email highlighting the Assange support meeting to be held in Anzac Square , Brisbane .
Strangely, the Murdoch Townsville Bulletin has virtually treated Assange as a non person for many months. Then again, Julian did not kick a football like JT. The Bulletin has not highlighted the pending decision ,sought comment from islanders who are deeply concerned about Assange. Robert Wesley-Smith is available as a news editor in Darwin and Townsville
