Hi All, There are 2 parts to this update. Pre trial extradition hearing update + The first episode of a 3 part video series of our recent Free Julian Assange tour in North East NSW Australia. Mullumbimby, Brisbane & Nimbin. Featuring John Shipton (Julian Assange's father) in Full House public hall Interviews and answering questions from the public.
- Regarding the pre trial Extradition hearing of Julian Assange it appears and according to my understanding that the focus of the the Assange defence is that Julian Assange is not being permitted sufficient time with his legal team to prepare his case/ Further apparently when his defence team turned up today expected to have the day with Julian they ended up only getting 1 hour with him. (Ref. John Rees from #dontextraditeaasange campaign on the issue of access to justice, thankyou to @NielsLadefoged

Keep Resharing and retweeting people. We are not being reported on by any mainstream media. The only way this petition increases its strength in numbers is by you sharing and Retweeting. Every time you share or retweet we sign 3. It's a numbers game. Here is the petition link : http://chng.it/sM4nTkMR
This petition is the 4th largest petition to have ever been successfully "Tabled" in the history of the Australian Parliament and still growing. The largest tabled petition reached 1.21 mil.
As per the Australian Parliament web site "A petition is basically a request for action. The right to petition Federal Parliament has been one of the rights of citizens since federation, and it is the only way an individual can directly place grievances before the Parliament."
Ref: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Petitions
We have delivered to the Australian Government our grievances and demand as per Petition Notice 40, delivered Dec. 20 (Blocked), then resent Dec. 26, 2019 (Confirmed delivered). As an open and "Tabled" petition, we also reserve the right administer additional notices, grievances and demands throughout this process whenever necessary to protect our democracy and free Julian Assange.
Cheers and good health to all of you and those dear to you all,
Phillip
