If Julian Assange gets extradited, Australia should pull its diplomats from the UK and the US.

Wouldn’t trust the Oz Government at all!

Or any gov for that matter

💯

yes. though 5 eyes intelligence alliance may me too beneficial to do that i'm afraid.

For both sides. The US wouldn't interfere on their end, so I don't think it would be at risk. The US needs Australia far more than they need Julian so I think they would obviously cave and that would be that.

fair point. let's hope it doesn't come down to that.

Could not see it ever happening.

This has been going on for over a decade and they (the political class) haven’t done a thing.

At this point it looks like nothing more than a little political theatre before they vanish him forever but not before they pretend they care and accumulate some trust and good will for pretending to care and most move on like it never happened

Exactly

Sounds v pessimistic when i read it back. Hopefully im way off. Nothing would please me more 🫂🧡

No, you’re correct. Doubt anything will happen but here’s hoping 🤞

I was about to make a post about cynicism and losing hope. I'm seeing too much of that. Sure, my idea goes too far.. Australia wouldn't have to go quite that far. But they have the will (according to the article I read) and the power and they are just sitting on it, being cynics, having lost hope, idle powerless zombies. And then to see nostr people reflecting this attitude of idle powerlessness makes me want to slap people awake.

From my perspective there’s only two types in Oz;

1- they are the go getters and want to be and see the change..or

2- they couldn’t give a shit and would rather drink beer, smoke dope and surf!

Yeah i hear you. Im generally really optimistic. Just not re solutions through politics

I think it’s likely Australia isn’t going to a thing without the UK’s permission, you? Frankly NZ either.
