I believe PM Albanese was instrumental in securing his release - Bravo !

That would be a huge relief. Julian deserves to be able to retire now in peace and without debt. He will go down in history as a hero to be remembered for 100 years.

Wow! Your cynicism speaks volumes. Julian should be recompensed for illegal imprisonment. His exposure of war crimes by the self appointed policeman of the world, America, was necessary and interestingly, they have never appeared at the Hague to be accountable for those war crimes. You don't embarrass or expose the 'most powerful country in the world'. Good on Julian. We will help him here in Australia.

@kalayne6713 Watch and wait; celebs and ex-celebs will flock to his side with the hope that they can bask in his post-incarcerated fame and steal some of his light in much the same way that they did when he was held up at the Ecuadorian embassy - narcissistic celebs who have been conspicuously silent during his five years of incarceration. As for your assertion that Julian should be compensated for a politically driven prosecution, that ship sailed when he wisely took a plea agreement. Assange's persecution/prosecution was affected with the aid of four presidents, two parties, the US intelligence community, US state department, and NATO/ SEATO related political and intelligence communities with the aim of neutralizing him and his freedom-of-speech ilk (i.e. unaligned media). Assange would have been sitting in prison until the cows came home regardless of who was democratically elected in the US. Had it had not been for Bobby Kennedy making a pledge to pardon Assange (if elected), Biden never would have green lighted a plea bargain

​@@kalayne6713 Australia did NOTHING for him until the current government stepped in because Albanese (just like any other leader in the world) smelled blood and that Biden is weak, that's the right moment to hit the U.S. with a pressure campaign (or war) - when they have a weak President. Shows why it's dangerous for the U.S. to keep this man in office though. Glad Julian is finally free!

@@trekpac2 If he retires, they win. He should get straight back to work.

And British too

@bill4056 - he is a hero in Russia and China but not USA and I hope not Australia

​@@majorrgeekBot

freedom bot, get it right

You're right. Trump was threatened and intimidated by the intelligence and military community. I honestly think he was too scared in the Jan 6 aftermath to roll with it. And he needed these ultra-conservative people who were against that pardon to support him in a future run. Shows that he should have done these pardons early on in the administration, not leave it until the very last moment.

Trump is the one who indicted him. Trump is a FAKE.
