SUBMERGED , VERY SILENT MEDIA DOES NOT AUGUR WELL FOR ASSANGE AT AUKUS

 At  the  many  top meetings  around the globe of  world  leaders  in  recent months  , it  seems there was no discussion at any depth  raised about the plight of  Australian Julian  Assange , rotting in a  British  prison , fighting off   deportation to the USA  for the term of  his   next 15 lives , for revealing  embarrassing truths  . 

 There was a  slight glimmer of hope  at  the  recent  trip by Australian  PM  Anthony Albanese to India  when   the  treatment of the BBC  and local  media  was  briefly  raised  with  him . The  PM  said   the   right of  the  media generally is   supported. But  what  about  Assange  specifically ?  The media seemed   more  interested  in  Test  cricket.  

After   the   brief  media  question  asked   of  the  PM in India  ,  reporters  should be hung from the yard arm  if  they do not follow up  and  closely   question  US  President  Joe   Biden ,  Anthony   Albanese  and  the  UK Prime Minister Rishi  Sunak  about the  Assange case  during  the  San  Diego  Naval  Base  three-ring   announcement  over  the  AUKUS  subs . 


The  merciless  robodebt   design  revealed by the  inquiry , shown in the above  David Pope cartoon , is  similar to the  way  the  Australian media   and   politicians   have   monstrously   treated   Assange
