Isityhilelo esimangalisayo seNkulumbuso sokuba uye waphakamisa ityala ngokumelene noJulian Assange kunye namagosa ase-US kwaye wabongoza ukuba izityholo zobuntlola kunye neyelenqe ziyeke zivula imibuzo emininzi.

Umnumzana Albanese ubulele uGqr Monique Ryan ngombuzo wakhe ngoLwesithathu we-31 kaNovemba, enika oko kubonakala ngathi yimpendulo elungiselelwe ngokucokisekileyo kunye nexesha. ILungu lePalamente eliZimeleyo lika-Kooyong lafuna ukwazi ukuba loluphi ungenelelo lwezopolitiko urhulumente anokuthi alwenze kweli tyala, liqaphela ukuba ubuntatheli obunomdla woluntu bubalulekile kwidemokhrasi.
Iindaba zajikeleza phakathi kwabaxhasi baka-Assange ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwePalamente, kwaye zafikelela kwi-Guardian, i-Australia, i-SBS, kunye neNyanga kwi-intanethi. I-ABC okanye iSydney Morning Herald ayizange iphathe ibali, nangosuku olulandelayo. I-SBS yabika ukuba umongameli onyuliweyo waseBrazil uLuiz Inacio Lula da Silva ubonise inkxaso kwiphulo lokukhulula i-Assange.
Kodwa kwiintsuku ezimbini ngaphambili, ngoMvulo we-29 kaNovemba, iNew York Times kunye namaphepha amane amakhulu aseYurophu ayeprinte i ileta evulekileyo eya kwiGqwetha Jikelele laseMelika uMerrick Garland, begxeka uhlaselo lwenkululeko yamajelo eendaba olwalumelwe kukusukela uAssange.
I-NYT, i-Guardian, i-Le Monde, i-Der Spiegel kunye ne-El Pais yayingamaphepha athi kwi-2010 yafumana kwaye yapapasha amanye amaxwebhu e-251,000 ahlelwe e-US anikezelwe ngu-Assange, amaninzi atyhila ubugwenxa baseMelika e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq.
Umhlalutyi wezobuntlola womkhosi wase-US u-Chelsea Manning wawanika uAssange, owabhala amagama abantu awayecinga ukuba bangonzakaliswa kukupapashwa. Igosa eliphezulu lePentagon liqinisekisile kamva ukuba akukho mntu uswelekileyo ngenxa yoko. UManning wavalelwa entolongweni, emva koko waxolelwa ngu-Obama. U-Assange uchithe iminyaka esixhenxe kwindawo yozakuzo kuMzi wozakuzo wase-Ecuador eLondon ngaphambi kokuba amapolisa ase-Bhritane amsuse kwaye wavalelwa entolongweni ngokwaphula imiqathango yebheyile.
U-Assange ukwintolongo yokhuseleko oluphezulu eBelmarsh iminyaka emithathu, ekwimpilo enkenenkene ngokwasemzimbeni nasengqondweni. Iinkqubo zenkundla ezichasene naye malunga nokukhutshwa kwakhe ukuze ajamelane netyala e-US ziye zanganyanisekanga, zinomkhethe, zicinezela, kwaye zande ngokugqithisileyo.
Kwinkcaso, u-Albanese uthe 'Kwanele' ku-Assange, kwaye ekugqibeleni wenze into malunga nalo kuRhulumente. Yintoni kanye kanye, nabani, kwaye kutheni ngoku, asikazi. Isandla sika-PM sinokuthi sinyanzeliswe yileta enkulu yemihla ngemihla eya kwiGqwetha-Jikelele uGarland, eyenze ukuba abezopolitiko base-Australia kunye nabeendaba babonakale bengenzi nto. Okanye usenokuba waliphakamisa ityala lika-Assange kwiintlanganiso zakhe zakutsha nje noBiden, kwi-G20 umzekelo.
Enye into enokwenzeka kukuba kwathethwa ngayo ngummeli ka-Assange, uJennifer Robinson, owadibana naye phakathi kuNovemba kwaye wathetha ngetyala kwiKlabhu yeendaba yeSizwe. Xa ndambuzayo ukuba angatsho na ukuba yena no-Albanese baxoxa ngo-Assange, wancuma wathi 'Hayi'-ethetha ukuba wayengakwazi, kungekhona ukuba khange benze njalo.
UMonique Ryan wenza ingongoma yokuba le yimeko yezopolitiko, efuna isenzo sezopolitiko. Ngokuyiphakamisa kunye namagosa ase-US, i-Albanese iye yashiya isikhundla sikarhulumente wangaphambili sokuba i-Australia ayinakuphazamisa iinkqubo zomthetho zaseBritane okanye zaseMelika, kwaye 'ubulungisa kufuneka buthathe ikhondo labo'. Leyo yayingeyiyo indlela eyathathwa yi-Australia ukukhusela inkululeko kaGqr Kylie Moore-Gilbert, owayevalelwe entolongweni ngenxa yobuntlola e-Iran, okanye kaGqr Sean Turnell ovela kwintolongo yaseMyanmar. Ayisiyiyo indlela yase-Australia eTshayina, apho intatheli kunye nesifundiswa bahlala eluvalelweni.
Ngokuthatha ityala lika-Assange, i-Albanese ayenzi nto ngaphezu kokuba i-US ihlala isenza xa omnye wabemi bayo evalelwe naphi na, okanye kunokuba i-UK kunye neCanada benza ngokukhawuleza xa abemi babo bevalelwa eGuantanamo Bay. I-Australia yamvumela uMamdouh Habib noDavid Hicks ukuba bachithe ixesha elide elugcinweni lwaseMelika ngaphambi kokuba benze uthethathethwano ngokukhululwa kwabo. Sinokufumana intlonipho ethe kratya kumahlakani ethu ukuba siye samkela indlela yabo ekhawulezileyo kula matyala, kunokuba senze ngokuthobela ubulungisa baseBhritane nobuMelika.
Kungenzeka ukuba ukulandela uAssange kwinkundla yase-US kunokubangela iintloni ngakumbi kunopapasho lweWikiLeaks. Njengoko iminyaka iqengqeleka, siye safunda ukuba inkampani yokhuseleko yaseSpain yabhala yonke into ayenzayo kunye neendwendwe zakhe kunye nabacebisi bezomthetho kwi-Embassy yase-Ecuador. Oku kwadluliselwa kwiCIA, kwaye yasetyenziswa kwimeko yase-US ukukhutshwa kwakhe. Ityala likaDaniel Ellsberg lokuvuza amaPhepha ePentagon aliphumelelanga kuba iirekhodi zikagqirha wakhe wengqondo ziye zabiwa ngabaphandi, kwaye oku kufanele kumisele umzekelo ku-Assange.
Nangona uBiden wayekhe wabiza uAssange ngokuba 'ngumnqolobi we-hi-tech', njengoMongameli ngoku ungummeli wamalungelo oluntu kunye nenkululeko yedemokhrasi. Eli isenokuba lixesha elifanelekileyo lokuba azisebenzise. Ukwenza oko kuya kwenza ukuba i-Biden kunye ne-Albanese ibonakale ingcono kunabanduleli babo.
