Hi All, even though the British High Court ruling knocked us down a little, it is proving to be a turning point for the campaign in Australia. Politicians on different sides of the political spectrum, including the Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, have come out in support of Julian Assange and are pushing the Australian government to intervene and call for his release.
The Deputy Prime Minister of Australia Barnaby Joyce wrote an opinion piece in a major Australian newspaper saying Julian Assange shouldn’t be extradited to the US, that he should either be put on trial in Britain or brought back home to Australia.
"I have never met Julian Assange and I presume I would not like him, but he’s entitled to justice"
Now is the time to get everyone in the Australian Parliament talking about the release of Julian Assange. It’s time for people power to guide our representatives to do the right thing.

The decision by the British Justice system was a really terrible decision, in so, so many ways. But this was never a case about the law, it is about politics. So in that department we have developed some key strengths that we can now focus on as a team (Peacefully & Safely).
In my honest opinion Julian Assange can only be freed if a senior Australian Politician picks up the phone and calls President Biden or at least Anthony Blinken. We could build political pressure through our contacts on this page to help that happen.
The politicians / "Decision Makers" (as determined in this petition ) that would be responsible for that call would be the Prime Minister of Australia Scott Morison or Marise Payne (Foreign Minister and Minister for Women of Australia). But if that does not happen before Christmas then maybe we issue a special notice to both houses of parliament and directly contact all Australian Parliamentarians to request that In light of the emergency health requirements of an Australian Citizen that is being psychologically tortured that the Deputy Prime Minister be expressly requested to Save Julian's life and make the phone call. The Deputy Prime Minister of Australia already knows exactly what to say.
Focus areas of this petitioned campaign:
Using our strengths as a huge petition, with a universal determination to Save Julian Assange's life.
One of our Signatories ( thankyou Saci) suggested a Free Julian Assange front of home Christmas lights/decorations, to raise awareness about this case.
Others suggest more tieing Yellow Ribbons with "Free Julian Assange".
This petition is well position "POLITICALLY" to issue notices to all Australian, British and USA The Australian Parliament (This petition has been tabled in both houses of the Australian Parliament and is the largest petition in history to have done so).
The Free Julian Assange campaign is publicly supported by 24 current sitting Australian parliamentarians, "The Bring Assange Home Parliamentary Group".
The International Criminal Court. We issued our first notice to the ICC in August, 2020 and most recently in August 2021. All signatories (Globally) should now begin to followup with the Office of the prosecutor on the International criminal Court
The British Royal Family (our Prerogative Power of Mercy Request (Royal Pardon) from January 2020 has not been rejected). Prerogative Power of Mercy Requests are usually are within a month..So I am led to believe.
I may occasionally add detail/ edit and or correct typo's on these Updates as time passes, so check back when the thought occurs.
Cheers
