I posted the following letter to Prime
Minister Anthony Albanese, Foreign Minister Penny Wong and the
Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus at around 11:00am on Thursday 7 April
during a
outside the electoral office of Mark Dreyfus in the Melbourne
suburb of Mordialloc. I had hoped to hand a copy of this letter to
Mark Dreyfus in person or, at least, to a member of his staff, but
his office was unattended. For security reasons, as explained to me
by a member of the Federal Police, there was no slot through which
I could put the letter, so I had to send the letter through the
mail. I expect that my letter would have been received in Mark
Dreyfus' office the next day and that my letters to Anthony
Albanese and Penny Wong will arrive on Tuesday 11 April following
the Easter long Weekend. I have also e-mailed this letter, with the
subject Please act humanely now to end the illegal
imprisonment of Julian Assange, and sent CC copies to
members of the .
Dear Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, Prime Minister Anthony
Albanese and Foreign Minister Senator Penny Wong,
Late last year on 30 November 2022, when asked by Dr. Monique
Ryan during Question Time, "Will the government intervene to bring
Mr Assange home?" Prime Minister Anthony Albanese responded, "I
[can] assure [Dr. Ryan] that I have raised this personally with
representatives of the United States government." and "I will
continue to advocate, as I did recently in meetings that I have
held."
Then, 4 weeks later on 28 December at the Woodford Folk
Festival, when Jenni, a young disabled female supporter of Julian
Assange asked the Prime Minister a similar question, in his
response, he said, "We don't have the power by ourselves to
intervene in the legal processes of another country, in this case
the United States or indeed the United Kingdom."
In his earlier response to Dr. Monique Ryan, the Prime Minister,
curiously, did not claim that the Australian government doesn't
"have the power" to make the UK free Assange. I believe that this
is because Prime Minister Albanese fully understands that he could
make British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak free Julian Assange today
if he chose to. He could simply 'phone Sunak and tell him, "You are
illegally holding in prison an Australian citizen...

The great Aussie dream !!! In forty years, from most affordable housing to most unaffordable in the world, the shackles of debt usury by bankster beasts, the only protected species left in Oz.
I spoke to someone from South Australia yesterday, and they told me about the drones they had seen lift off at dusk. She assumed they were police drones, and said they were massive the size of a small car; and a number of them were patrolling the sky.
