iTWire - Barnaby Joyce makes Assange an issue in Australian federal poll

Say what you like about Barnaby Joyce, the Australian deputy prime minister knows when to interject himself into an issue and make himself relevant. He has very finely tuned political antennae. That's what he has done in the case of WikiLeaks...

I have never met Julian Assange and I presume I would not like him, but he’s entitled to justice

Imagine a sliding door moment, and it was not Assange but you who was in court in Britain.
