"Julian Assange in 'a crazy situation', set to receive request for a visit from George Christensen
ABC Far North By Samuel Davis and Adam Stephen
29-10-2019
North Queensland politician George Christensen is fighting to bring Julian Assange home and will seek the British Government's permission to meet with the controversial WikiLeaks founder ahead of his full extradition hearing early next year.
Key points:
George Christensen is seeking permission from the British Government to see the detained Wikileaks founder
The Queensland MP hopes the Australian will be returned home and wants to verify reports that his health is failing
Mr Christensen says it is a "crazy situation" that Mr Assange charged under US laws when he is not a US citizen or resident
"It's about the principle of someone who's published information on the internet and fallen afoul of laws [in a country] that they're not a citizen of, that they actually haven't set foot in," Mr Christensen said.
"You've got to question how that is possible. That's a crazy situation that I don't think most Australians would actually agree with."
The Mackay-based Member for Dawson is co-chair of a cross-party Parliamentary Working Group, a role shared with independent MP Andrew Wilkie, questioning whether the Australian citizen should be forced to face espionage charges in the United States.
If found guilty in the US, Mr Assange faces a maximum sentence of 175 years in jail.
But Mr Christensen said WikiLeaks had acted in the public interest when it published classified information, including diplomatic cables leaked by US intelligence analyst leaked by US intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning in 2010.
"He has published information that may have been sensitive in the United States, but he wasn't in the United States when he published it, nor is he a citizen of the United States," Mr Christensen said"".
