Julian Assange’s Senate campaign for transparency in poltics
A bid for freedom: Why Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is running for a seat in the Australian Senate, TNT. 7th May 2013 By Carol Driver Honesty. That’s what Julian Assange’s campaign manager claims is driving the WikiLeaks founder’s bid for the Australian Senate in September’s election.
Greg Barnes, ex-head of the Australian Republican Movement, was last week announced as Assange’s main man for the WikiLeaks Party campaign for a seat in Victoria.
According to Barnes, who lives in Hobart, the “sorts of values” Assange brings to the political landscape include “greater transparency in decision making” and “an examination of the way that the state in Australia is encroaching on the rights of individuals”.
He added: “These are the sorts of issues which do concern Australians. And the current political parties in Australia don’t address either of those issues. Julian Assange certainly does. And he’s got runs on the board when it comes to walking the walk and talking the talk through WikiLeaks.“ http://www.tntmagazine.com/news/features/a-bid-for-freedom-why-julian-assange-is-running-for-a-seat-in-the-australian-senate
