one has to believe closing this out was part of the deal to send assange back to australia
How is Australia or Assange related to it?
If you don't think there was some three way horse trading done to complete both of these multi year extraditions, between administrations seeking a win they could brag about, then, I don't know what to tell you man
No no, say it.
What do you want to tell me if I don't believe in fringe conspiracy theories?
Current NZ gov are certainly more cozy with the US. No idea how braggable it is though. He seems to have been forgotten about after the initial national embarassment the whole fiasco was at the time. Maybe these clowns want him to quietly go away . So yeh horse trading.
At first glance it may look like they have the same flag, but NZ and Australia are actually separate countries.
Huh? I’m an Aussie and the last time I checked we are a seperate country from New Zealand and OUR government basically saw to it that OUR citizen was returned home and unlike this bloke, Assange has hardly had it “easy” living in an embassy or recently jail…..Dotcom has been living large in NZ in comparison…..
There were no back door deals about this guy for Assange - completely different situations….🤦🏼♀️
