Barnaby Joyce says Julian Assange should not be extradited to US - a podcast by The Age and Sydney Morning Herald

Julian Assange is an Australian journalist, publisher and citizen, and he’s facing 175 years in a US prison if he is extradited there from Britain.

For such a high-profile Australian, our political leaders have been remarkably silent on his fate – save a few notable exceptions.One of those exceptions is Deputy Prime Minister and Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce, who has today called for Assange to be tried in Britain or released to Australia.

Today on Please Explain, foreign affairs and national security correspondent Anthony Galloway joins Bianca Hall to discuss Assange’s case, and Mr Joyce’s intervention.Subscribe to The Age&SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/
