Reactions From Down Under to Aussie Julian Assange

The World

One of the world’s most wanted men is seen as a hero and a villian, depending who you talk to. Many in the United States consider him a traitor, even though he is not a U.S. citizen. So how does Assange’s native land feel about him? With help from our partners the BBC, we listen to reactions on the topic of Julian Assange and his controversial WikiLeaks, from his home country of Australia.
