I know I took a brief sabbatical, but I don't recall seeing/reading/hearing anything on this…

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been paid a mysterious visit by officials from the Australian government in a sign that the six year stalemate may come to an end.

Two officials from Australia's High Commission went to the Ecuadorian embassy where Mr Assange is living.

It is the first time Australian consular officials have visited Assange at the embassy.

Assange's lawyer, Jennifer Robinson, confirmed the meeting took place to Fairfax but would not say what it was about.

'Julian Assange is in a very serious situation' she said. 'He remains in the embassy because of the risk of extradition to the US. That risk is undeniable after numerous statements by Trump administration officials including the director of the CIA and the US attorney-general.'

'Given the delicate diplomatic situation we cannot comment further at this time.'
