Australia’s parliament has passed a motion calling the US and UK to allow Wikileaks’ Julian Assange to return to Australia.
Albanese told Parliament that the days before London’s High Court hears Assange’s appeal next week against extradition to the United States on espionage charges were a “critical period.”
“I hope this can be resolved. I hope it can be resolved amicably. It’s not up to Australia to interfere in the legal processes of other countries, but it is appropriate for us to put our very strong view that those countries need to take into account the need for this to be concluded,” Albanese said.
“Regardless of where people stand, this thing cannot just go on and on and on indefinitely,” Albanese added.
