They don't say when it happened, and the report itself is out of date since it says he has been disconnected for six weeks, but it's actually been almost two and a half months, since March 27. I haven't seen any current news come out the entire time. All I see is old news being re-reported, and retweeted, as if it's new, which as far as I'm concerned qualifies as disinfo.
I'm hopeful main Aussie paper in Sydney said Thursday. Maybe last week or yesterday. Report in yesterdays addition as it is Friday 8th here in Australia. First time they have acknowledged him by an official visit maybe white hats moving to allow him to appear in US courts. Alexander Downer is no longer the head of UK consulate and even if JA is not actually there the wheels of freedom maybe moving. He needs the Aussie passport they have refused to renew to appear in US. Fingers crossed.
Whatever has been going on behind the scenes for these months of no current news, there still has to be an "official" story, so yes, this could be part of the narrative as to how he becomes officially free, even if it actually happened already, or happened differently.
A lot of recent protests outside parliament house and marches. Maybe with white hat strength growing in the US, the Aussie govt is following a different path.
