DID YOU HAVE ANY IDEA? with Gary KENNEDY

Gary Kennedy, Secretary and Treasurer of Hunter Trade Unions -- representative of 31 Unions in Australia -- says "ABSOLUTELY" to the question: "Would Julian Assange make a good Australian Senator? "

The Australian Wikileaks Party campaign has just been launched, with Julian Assange as its leader and truth & transparency its motto. Sounds great... but isn't he still "holed up" somewhere in an Ecuadorian Embassy in the middle of London? What a shame, since our polls say that 1 in 4 Aussies would vote for Assange. Is it not time therefore, dear compatriots, for a reality check?

If Australians want Assange as a Senator -- and how extraordinary that would be -- they will have to "reek havoc" now to get him home... and the sooner the better. In the face of such hostility from our government, and the wanton vilification of Assange's fair dinkum, award-winning journalism, imagine the hammering that is in store for him as an actual political opponent. It is clear that once that game begins, the msn will be attempting to kiss his ass goodbye.
