A motley group of Australian federal politicians representing various political affiliations has travelled to Washington, D.C., to collectively urge the U.S. government to cease its persistent efforts to prosecute Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks.
The six Australian politicians, including former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce, Labor MP Tony Zappia, “teal” Independent Monique Ryan, Liberal Senator Alex Antic, as well as two senators from the Greens party, Peter Whish-Wilson and David Shoebridge, have flown to the capital of the United States.
