Australian Citizen Julian Assange was persecuted and imprisoned for 14 years because he told the truth.
Decades on from him unveiling embarrassing information about the government, no one has been able to prove who was apparently ‘put in danger’ by what Wikileaks released.
The truth is, we should know everything about what the Government is up to. With surveillance like the Digital ID Bill coming into effect, the Government wants it the other way around. They want to know everything about you while you know nothing about what the Government is doing.
Whistleblowers rarely come with perfect personalities, but knowing what the government is up to with your money is vital. Welcome home Julian, your return was long overdue.
