The CIA and the Biden administration claim that Julian Assange conspired with Chelsea Manning to “hack” and therefore steal top-secret information.
Their entire case is hinged on this. But this has NEVER been proven and Chelsea Manning has repeatedly claimed this is false and that she NEVER had to 'hack' anything.
Manning says that she had full, readily available access to the information she passed along to WikiLeaks.
I’m going to pardon Assange and Snowden on Day 1. I’m going to build a statue to Assange somewhere near the Washington Press Club and a statue to Snowden outside CIA HQ in Langley as a civics lesson to the Republic.
So, in essence, Chelsea Manning is the one who committed the crime of sharing state secrets and spent 7 years in prison for this. Yet, the publisher to whom she leaked the information is standing trial to be extradited to the United States to face a 175-year prison sentence.
Sounds fair… right?

@ScottMorrisonMP buy the holden brand, run the factory as a state-owned corp, make electric holdens (like Holden built 4 the 2000 Olyimpics), establish a partnership with GM 4 global distribution & export to the world! Do Aus and the world a favour! @vanOnselenP@zalisteggall

@truthplease36@normanswan Yes, it all needs to be thoroughly and honestly reviewed without prejudice. The level of fear & lack of trust everywhere is a dire symptom/result of this whole situation which needs to be resolved, regardless of the colossal list of mistakes to this point, inc measures/treatment
Why we urgently need a national housing strategy and some really big policy initiatives like a sovereign wealth fund for housing to start making a dent in the worsening affordability crisis.

The former High Commissioner to the Solomon Islands, Trevor Sofield, has slammed the government, and in particular, FM Marise Payne for allowing China to do a deal with the region. (PM’s AFP team refused him access to Scott Morrison in Bass.)
A 5% increase in lowest paid wage would be $1 per hour.
The business community suggest 3.1%, that is 62c per hour.
So the debate is whether 38c/hour will ruin the economy.
God help us…
@cashieofcourse@TamePunk And do we all recall, at that time, the PM had delayed closing our international borders (re:Covid). Had let the Hilllsongers in and back home before that happened! He is a prize hypocrite on so many levels, so many times over!
I find it interesting that we’re still talking about a woman refusing to smile to the Prime Minister, and not Scott Morrison’s treatment towards women the last year.
The opening night of the 2022 #AllAboutWomen festival will feature the wonderful @tishanidosi performing her extraordinary poem #GirlsAreComingOutOftheWoods. This will be simply unmissable. https://t.co/IZ6OoTAX3U
I worked in both the Federal and NSW parliament environments, over 20 years ago, as a staffer. It is far beyond time for this behavior to stop.
I stand by & support @TamePunk & @BrittHiggins_

@emma__jayne14 Grace Tame had every right to be angry. She accepted an invitation from the National Australia Day Council for morning tea and found herself maneuvered in to a photo shoot with the man who never regarded her position and responsibility as anything of importance.
@emma__jayne14 I'm old enough to be Grace Tame's mother. I am blown away by her courage and focus. From one generation to another, I see hard-won progress and can only cheer her on to scowl at the people who deserve it.
@emma__jayne14 I am from the 'older generation' that Pru is talking about and I can say with 100% certainty that I 'get' Grace Tame. She is fearless and so brave and is standing up for the change we all want. These 'angry' young women are just what we need.
