When it comes to the entire disgusting and frankly astounding scandal that is the ongoing debacle around Julian Assange, there is one thing that must never forgotten nor underestimated, and that is:
SHAME ON YOU, AUSTRALIA!
This man, who is a hero to so many free-thinking, democratic-respecting people of this planet, was born in your country and is your son, Australia.
And how does Australia treat him? By turning their back on him, demeaning him in the most despicable and shameless manner, and being a pathetic lapdog to American imperialist politics and hypocrisy.
For a nation that always prides itself on its strong democracy and 'commitment' to human rights (the Aborigines, anyone?), and for having one of the best standards of living in the world, it's frankly pathetic.
I'll say it again:
SHAME ON YOU AUSTRALIA!!!
I'll tell you one thing, for what it's worth. I may be living in a country riddled with corruption and crime and nowhere near as 'advanced' as Australia, but I can almost guarantee this: South Africa, for all its many faults, would never, ever have done this to one of its own.
And that notion alone makes me more proud to be South African than to aspire to be the citizen of a gutless, cowardly nation like Australia.
Julian, no doubt about it - you were born in the wrong country, mate.
