    Julian Assange once said: ‘I understood this a few years ago. And my view became that we should understand that Australia is part of the United States. It is part of this English-speaking Christian empire, the centre of gravity of which is the United States, the second centre of which is the United Kingdom, and Australia is a suburb in that arrangement.

    ‘And therefore we shouldn’t go, “It’s completely hopeless, its completely lost. Australian sovereignty, we are never going to get that back. We can’t control the big regulatory structure which we’re involved in in terms of strategic alliances, mass surveillance, and so on”.

    ‘No, we just have to understand that our capital is Washington. The capital of Australia is DC. That’s the reality. So when you’re engaging in campaigns, just engage directly with DC, because that’s where the decisions are made. 

    ‘And that’s what I do, and that’s what Wikileaks does. We engage directly with DC. We engage directly with Washington, and that’s what Australians should do.’

      A primary precept of good government is justice for its citizens, but because our government has ignored every injustice in his case, injustice now threatens us all with a precedent whereby the US can seek to capture by any means, incarcerate and extradite anyone, including journalists or publishers, of any nationality from most places in the world, for disclosing shockingly reprehensible US secrets.

      By courageously publishing the truth, Julian terrified with the threat of personal responsibility and accountability those who had been operating beyond reach. He knew they’d come for him, we knew they’d come for him, and they did. It’s not a hard story to understand.

      Julian is a moral innovator. He made moral gains which had an immense effect on human life. He did what lay in his power to make people less cruel to others and was rewarded with nothing but personal pain. Posterity will pay Julian the highest honour for putting into the world the things that we most value: truth, transparency and justice.

      History will look back on Assange as a particularly important person, and on his persecution – the details of which will be further filled out over time, and preserved forever – as an appalling politico-legal abomination.
