Preacher Firdaus Wong yet to give statement to cops over covert conversion of minors to Islam, cites busy schedule to EuropeJulian Assange spent his first night in 14 years as a free man back at home in Australia as the conservative opposition today cautioned the government against hailing the WikiLeaks founder as a hero.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who has been calling for Assange’s release for several years, welcomed him home in a phone call saying he “had a very warm discussion” with Assange.However, the conservative opposition raised concerns about portraying Assange as a hero after he spent more than a decade trying to avoid prosecution and then pleaded guilty to one criminal count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified national defence documents.
James Paterson, the opposition’s home affairs spokesperson, told Sky News Assange had evaded lawful extradition requests by hiding in the Ecuadorean embassy and used his legal rights in the UK to challenge it over many years. The White House was not in any way involved in the case, national security spokesman John Kirby said, adding it was a Department of Justice matter.
