Independent MP Andrew Wilkie says UK a ‘lackey’ of US and journalism is not a crime
The Australian government has been accused of sitting on its hands while WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces extradition to the United States on espionage charges.
Assange, 50, is wanted in the US over an alleged conspiracy to obtain and disclose classified information following WikiLeaks’ publication of hundreds of thousands of leaked documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
