Wikileaks
With all the stuff going on with Julian Assange of recent I can’t help but feel that the governments and media are trying to sweep the issue under the carpet. The stuff that is happening to him is obviously political in nature and an attempt to quieten people who question the system. If this stuff was more publicised this would be obvious but they are trying to keep it quiet to prevent a backlash (Julia Gillard called him a criminal which was publicly embarrassing for her).
It is not very often anyone Australian has an impact on the world and it really is a shame that we don’t try to help him more, I mean drug dealers that gets arrested in Asia have the government’s support, but not Assange.
Everyone seems to agree WikiLeaks was a good thing to the world but I guess if you mess with with powerful people they will always hit back hard.
