2:34 pm
in a fit sort of big way when the american disclosures came out because he needed to defeat wiki. and. so it's not really his way to kind of the cameras. and if you knew him personally he would find that it's a little different from what you've seen from the candidates it's much more relaxed his has a very good sense of humor. he would smile more like what did you imagine i mean growing up or even in his early years that this is something that he could have done had he wanted to be a physicist. and. molecular physicists is another word for it he wanted to discover. the source of the universe that was what he wanted to do and i guess it's a similar sort of thing his always been to that truth in some form. when it was
2:35 pm
scientific truth or philosophical truth. so he has probably why realigned even the little hallway. his question was always why on earth is the inquiry is actually quite a creative person when he was doubt five he used to wake up the harmonica and play blues how very very intellectually and he can also draw a bit of fire in essence person that chosen to direct it and he can write beautifully and so he's chosen to direct his energies into a key x. which is a bicycling. journalism combined with engine it. is a good father who is the young falcon and many people don't realize this that. that is a certain point julian's. that his son's mother was unable to care for. julian assange and his fifteen and. it was a single file the minute news. and he had to sell custody of his son from the time

2:37 pm
been a fox who says his integrity think it's fox news who paid the balance who was screaming out to julian six occasions this is somebody who is not right in the world and has done nothing more than any good in this a good journalist would do just to be an interesting one is one very rewards for where you are now quite obviously advocating for your son are you here particularly to advocate for his political asylum request is the authority history invited me so that i could speak to him that there were going knew that the conditions in this trial for example by the government has suspended him can you talk a little bit about that yes well unfortunately for stray. we have. a prime minister who is really can only really be described as a puppet for the us who prove already is twenty seven percent the people are not

happy with that war and from the beginning the prime minister. condemned my son. in the media sticking ahead of a case which is unheard of in a strange way to speak about a case and commits judgment upon a person prior to a trial she jeopardized his right to due to the presumption of innocence by saying that what he did was even. she actually proved preceded the american government in those statements and. despite the fact that this trial in federal police. some two weeks later. after this decided to do it had broken no laws at all in a strange land and the u.s. treasury had refused to blacklist wiki leaks because they could find no crime that it being commuted to stay in prime minister julia gillard. continued to phone my
2:39 pm
son in the media do you think that out the australian government would hand over to the united states if they had the part about it of doing something silly. this is a great concern given that the united states has been labeling its own citizens as low level terrorists. so with that with america being within the top five countries executing their own citizens in the world and that actually is go ahead it seems like a sieve and. from what here to nine hundred eighty. this is a great concern so you're sam has been passably fastly accused most likely fast the accused he's now been detained. for over a year and a half in england and there appear to be secret grand juries against him in the united states in requests for severe punishment against him what do you think would happen to jury and if he were actually to the united states well ahead sophist head

2:42 pm
human rights and equal rights and. they are going to be looking at if we. so they can make it sound decision and they're leaving no stone unturned to find at the truth and that's all i can ask of them at this stage the documents they're impaired by wiki leaks have been incredibly useful for many of us doing investigative reporting in latin america because of course they are disclosed all kinds of. different evidence of u.s. meddling in the affairs of other countries in the region and particularly against those that have progressive governments. yes if i don't have much time you've got but the one the one country with one cable that moves me the most with the haiti cable if you read ahead to live in terror yeah many of them share your opinions and for us to take advantage of a country that was guy the whole country was going through from the speaker's quick
