"Australian PM tries to sanctimoniously take advantage of Assange's liberation"

"Anthony Albanese, the Australian prime minister, has made himself the hero of the day. Albanese conveniently has a press conference which [freed journo Julian] Assange didn't attend — to Assange's credit of course — and basically took all the credit for himself: 'my government worked tirelessly. We did this, I did that, I spoke to Biden, I did that'," the Australian independent journalist Aussie Cossack has stated.

At the same time, it was Australia, the UK, and the US that held Assange captive and suddenly released him when it was "convenient," he stressed.
