“Enough is enough,” Anthony Albanese has declared, following indications the US is considering dropping charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange . The prime minister said it was time to end the long-running saga after US president Joe Biden responded with “we are considering it” when asked for his response to Australian requests to end the pursuit of Assange.
“We continue to use avenues at our disposal, as we do in speaking out for Australian citizens.” Albanese in February backed a parliamentary motion moved by Independent MP Andrew Wilkie calling for Assange’s return to Australia. Wilkie, a long-time advocate for Assange, said Biden’s comment was heartening.
