Assange anounces candidacy for possible WA Senate by-election The Wikileaks party, which suffered public division over its decision to direct preferences away from the Australian Greens' very tech-savvy Senator Scott Ludlam in the recent Australian federal election, has caught wind of yet another electoral branding opportunity.

Do learn when to shut up, it's pretty clear the last and credibility afforded to you had all been used up with stunts like this, Ecuador embassy, etc.
Whether or not people agree with the leaky culture, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden clearly have the courage of their convictions and are prepared to stand up for them as opposed to come across as a sneak.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck,...
Because politicians have diplomatic immunity, right?
I guess he's getting desperate. I wonder how long it'll be before he cuts a deal with the US; it's obvious he'll do and say absolutely anything to avoid going to Sweden to stand trial for those rapes.
Meh, who am I kidding? He's of course already tried to cut a deal with the US, and been turned down.
