Australian politicians pretending to care about Julian Assange now. Remember Trump just named Australia along with Great Britain and Italy as "potentially" spying on him.

Timing is everything!

Julian Assange: Australian MPs call on UK to block US extradition

Boris Johnson should block attempts to extradite Julian Assange to the US, say two Australian MPs who have flown to the UK to visit the WikiLeaks founder.

Andrew Wilkie, an independent federal MP, said the extradition of Assange, who has been charged by the US with conspiring to hack into a secret Pentagon computer network, would set a dangerous precedent.

Wilkie said: “This was information that as clearly published in the public interest and it beggars belief that the country accused of war crimes is the one that wants to get their hands on Julian Assange.” The MP criticised his own government and that of the UK for “going along” with the US.
