A court which always convicts.
A court which always convicts.
The criminals are making it a crime to report on their crimes!
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that “enough is enough” yet there is still no evidence that our new Labor government has achieved any progress toward justice for our Walkley Award winning truth teller.
Albo, pick up the phone!
Please join Julian’s father and brother, John and Gabriel Shipton with David McBride in the formation of a human chain along the banks of the Yarra river at Southbank. They will speak at 12.30pm on Princes bridge, after the human chain, as we prepare to march.
Together we will draw a line – physically and metaphorically. Australians do not stand for the ongoing political persecution of our Walkley Award winning truth teller at the expense of sovereignty, press freedom and democracy.

No US Extradition! Drop the charges!
