WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has slammed Australia for being under the control of Washington, based on its surveillance program.
Speaking during a video link with the Melbourne-based Wheeler Center, Assange minced no words when dwelling on the US NSA’s surveillance program.
His remarks, which coincided with Assange’s 1199th day inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, came after the release of Assange’s new book titled The WikiLeaks Files: The World According to US Empire.
“The capital of Australia is [in fact] Washington DC,” Assange said, in a clear reference to surveillance cooperation between the two countries.
He also claimed that in this regard, it is already irrelevant to speak of Australia’s sovereignty.
“All sorts of strange things happen in politics, but I think Australia is a lost cause as a sovereign state,” Assange said.
