Right now, the UK government is deliberating on whether to sign-off on the extradition of Australian Julian Assange to the US. 

If that happens, Assange — who was charged with espionage offenses in relation to material published on Wikileaks — faces charges that could result in a 175-year sentence.

But the Australian election has given Assange’s family and supporters renewed hope. So, will a change in government change the fate of the wikileaks founder?

Today, journalist Amy Fallon, on the extradition of Julian Assange and the test it sets for our political leaders.

Guest: Journalist, Amy Fallon.
