ASSANGE TO BE FREED ?

 If  America does  drop  its  pursuit of  Julian Assange it will be great news for  his supporters on Magnetic Island. One of them is George Hirst, newspaper  editor, artist ,  film maker  and   environment  activist .

At one stage  it  was suggested  an Assange  statue should be erected  on  the island  due to the fact the  Wikileaks  founder   had spent some  time  there  as  a  yougster.

Hirst  responded by drawing   the  following  brilliant  cartoon  depicting such  a   memorial  in  the  form  of   a  drinking  fountain  which did not  stop   leaking.

Since  President  Biden said Assange's case was being considered , there has  been a  report  that   there is   a move  to  have  a  Julian Assange  statue  erected  on  The Strand ,  Townsville , overlooking   Magnetic  Island.
