"He's being punished because he exposed wrongdoing within the US."

Wrong AC. Aside from the fact that cowardly Jules is still trying to escape justice, what he is charged with is releasing details and identities of US operatives and informants, an action which resulted in the disappearance of many of the aforesaid, with probable death and harm coming to many of them and their associates/dependents.

"If Assange exposed wrongdoing in Russia or China, he'd be congratulated."

I doubt that Jules would ever bite the hand that feeds him, although he allegedly wiped his faeces over the walls of the Ecuadorian Embassy. What a star!

How many usually respond to your discussions?

Hi Nathan,

As Australians many of us have different views on the
subject of Australia Day and it's date. There's various
opinions on the subject - and what it means, or doesn't
mean and whether the date should be changed or
continue to be our national holiday.

However we should have the ability to openly debate tough
issues. After all this is one of the many freedoms we as a
nation on Australia Day are supposed to celebrate.
Right?

Paul1405,
Most of us have worked & contributed to our Pension. The likes of you have never done anything apart from exploiting the Peter Principle & bleat imaginary discrimination.
What you call discrimination, decent people call lack of effort or lack of personal discipline & lack of common sense.

I seen the perfect bit of clobber for all you gubba's to wear on Gubba Day, 26th Jan, hanging outside a Chinese run $2 junk shop. A blue singlet, with a boxing kangaroo on the front, with the words "Aussie Oi Oi Oi" emblazoned across. Only 20 bucks to you gubba's out there, and they had XXXL size for all you Bogan's, AND, it was "Made in Bangladesh" WOW! go well with your stubby holders, and Aussie flag flip-flops, blue and white zinc cream, floppy cap, then what we have here is a real bunch of Arthur Dunger's.
