From their point of view it's easy to understand why the U.S. wants to crush Assange. But what is Australia's excuse? Why is it fighting America's battles? Why has the Australian mainstream media also turned against Assange after an election held in the U.S., not here? What has happened to Australia's sovereignty? That's a question that can be answered by Australians coming into the streets, like today -- and staying there until their compatriot is at last free to leave that damned embassy. Free to continue to do the job the media refuses to do.
