TODAY. Australia’s democracy betrayed – by its pathetic subservient-to-USA Prime Minister Anthony Albanese

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has once again exercised his snivelling sycophantic subservience to the USA. Albanese explained that he wouldn’t ask U.S. President Jo Biden to interfere in the justice system, in order to free Australian citizen Julian Assange.

Meanwhile Albanese is enthusiastically promising to boost the American military industries to the tune of way beyond $300Billion for (almost certainly useless) nuclear submarines, and any other bits of deadly hardware that the USA wants to flog off.

If this pathetic cringing about Assange’s persecution is not enough to convince you of how pathetic is the Australian government – what about its behaviour at the United Nations?

Australia has abstained from casting a vote in a UN resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian truce in Gaza, arguing it was “incomplete” because it did not mention Hamas as the perpetrator of the 7 October attack. In the face of the atrocity now being perpetrated in Gaza – the Albanese government is again cowardly in its subservience to USA.

The Obama administration did not pursue Julian Assange.

It was the Trump administration which indicted Julian Assange under the Espionage Act

In 2013, The Washington Post reported that the Obama administration had all but concluded it would not pursue Assange because they could not do so without also pursuing media outlets that published WikiLeaks cables, including The New York Times, the Post and Britain’s Guardian newspaper.In 2013, The Washington Post reported that the Obama administration had all but concluded it would not pursue Assange because they could not do so without also pursuing media outlets that published WikiLeaks cables, including The New York Times, the Post and Britain’s Guardian newspaper. https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/assange-defence-questions-why-obama-didn-t-seek-to-prosecute-him-20200915-p55w09.html
