Comments on: Would Julian Assange make a good Australian Senator? https://thing2thing.com/?p=3447 A History of Wikileaks Sun, 06 Apr 2014 03:18:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Cheryl Van Hoorn https://thing2thing.com/?p=3447#comment-17688 Cheryl Van Hoorn Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:49:35 +0000 http://thing2thing.com/?p=3447#comment-17688 Yeah but the truth, is like any politician, the truth according to Julian Assange. He plays fast and loose with the truth at the best of times. There is a reason that Wikipedia is not acknowledged in academic circles. He has made a valuable contribution to our culture and has indeed prompted us to question the assumptions of the day and look at our governments with a jaded eye and I for one find this refreshing. However this does not negate the agendas that Julian Assange works with in. He also doesn't play well with others. One second thought maybe he would make a perfect politician!

He has the 'guts' and intelligence for the task. He's not a programmed candidate like the people from the Liberals, Nationals, ALP, Greens etc. All these people are just after votes for political power to maintain the status quo. Julian will challenge all that BS. The Wikileaks Party needs to also look at other States and hopefully have Senators elected there as well. State's Upper Houses could also be an option in the future, especially in NSW & SA where the quota's are smaller. These upper houses would return to houses of review as they should be not just a place for major party hacks (especially ALP) and 'yes' men & women. Go Julian!!!!

The world would be a better place if we had people in power who actually Had the people in mind! I would ask everyone to support Mr. Assange! :) Julian Assange has demonstrated his will to lead and has shown his passion for community and the truth.

We don't elect people to positions of power so they can run their own agendas, we elect them to run the country on our behalf. We want to know what they are doing in that job we elected them to do, and if they are doing things we don't like, we can sack them. Transparency and truthfulness is what makes a good democracy. I believe Julian Assange would make an ideal Australian Senator. Anyone happen to watch 4 Corners last night?
