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 .
