While speaking to reporters on Monday, the prime minister appeared to rule out intervening in Assange\u2019s case amid the British government\u2019s approval of his extradition to the US.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: UK Home Secretary approves extradition of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange to the US where he would face a 175 year sentence \u2013 A dark day for Press freedom and for British democracy<br \/>The decision will be appealed<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/m1bX8STSr8\">https:\/\/t.co\/m1bX8STSr8<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5nWlxnWqO7\">pic.twitter.com\/5nWlxnWqO7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wikileaks\/status\/1537726323858219009?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Albanese told reporters he intends to lead a government that engages diplomatically and appropriately with other nations, but refused to say if he\u2019s reached out to President Joe Biden about the matter. The prime minister\u2019s remarks come as former Foreign Minister Bobb Carr continues to urge the government to demand Assange\u2019s release.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf the Australian public see an Australian being persecuted in this fashion, if they see footage of Assange in chains being taken out on the tarmac of an airport in the U.K. to be put on a CIA aircraft and taken to the U.S. for trial and a long trial, a drawn out trial and one that\u2019s going to be allegedly stacked against him, and then imprisonment in a very harsh U.S. federal penitentiary, there will be a big public reaction in Australia,\u201d Carr asserted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Assange plans to appeal the British government\u2019s extradition decision. The detained journalist\u2019s wife highlighted the serious implications for those working in media.
