As a Queenslander myself I tend to be ...‘Lo Andrew,<br />As a Queenslander myself I tend to be supportive of the Townsville lad and have reacted instinctively when he’s been put down on blogs I’ve read.<br />The crapola he’s facing from Sweden and the (in)justice he’s met in London match something one might expect from Qld courts too.<br /><br />But (a big but) he can’t be contacted either through Robertson’s chambers, his solicitors or via Wikileaks contact email address.<br />Bit of a worry that; in that most organizations that deal with people tend to leave some line of communication open.<br /><br />I wanted to contact Wikileaks a few weeks ago to discover whether they’d be interested in some Australian stories about the odd spot of malfeasance (sorry, no massacres yet).<br />I opened the pages, had a scan, found an email address and cut a draft message.<br />The very next day Julian was headlines, the pages had been changed and shortly thereafter so had the right to Habeas Corpus at British Law.<br /><br />As a bloke who has set up his own blog in the forlorn hope of raising some social justice matters here in Australia I am not only less than impressed with Julian’s treatment but sometimes have the odd twinge of apprehension about the outcome, not only for Julian but for us all.<br />Those feelings are not helped by an increasingly skeptical attitude dawdling along to the forefront of my brain that the whole show could be a colossal sting to net those in the media and public life who remain foolish enough to exercise a social conscience.<br /><br />PS – Shall be listing your pages on my blog – okay by you?Calligulahttp://calligulashorse.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-56506207584495556132011-01-11T11:56:53.604+11:002011-01-11T11:56:53.604+11:00Bravo!Bravo!Man versus Marketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16084201037481642363noreply@blogger.com
