The fact that the US thumbs Australia's suggestion to free Assange reflects that it does not find Australia (not sure if US warship are still in Freemantle,Perth) a much valued partner anymore. This as they move their defense to the north near Spratly Island and Taiwan.
Australia now have no choice but to adopt a foreign policy based on the principal of neutrality and maintaining peaceful relations with all countries, regardless of their ideology or political system and perhaps to further develop relations with other countries in the region.
After all, it is much more beneficial economically for Australia to be friends with China (as it export 10 times more goods n services there) than to the US.
Yes, the time is now for Australia to fulfil its own potential.
There is no plausible or logial way by which Australia can worm itself out of the defence contracts and defence agreements it has with the US or UK without either or both the US and UK staging a coup or change of government in Australia.
It is as simple as that because we address simple minds. Australia has no political will of its own. It has no independent foreign policy and Julian Assange is not a wizz kid hacker.
Assange relied on the work and skills of others to achieve what he did and that is simply noteriety and fame for himself.
Mark Davis the SBS reporter did a comprehemsive documentary on Assange and ended up himself expressing doubts about Assange's credibility. Assange in a perfect world may have been an asset to us all. But in truth he is really a pimp.
So you are suggesting that Australia should now side with the aggressor in the region, namely China, a totalitarian state that bullies its way through any opposition?
Shame on Australia taking it till now to make some feeble noise about the plight of its own damn native Assange.
Ne'er a shameless bunch of worse running dingos serving a foreign master than the successive Oz governments of comic Damn Ednas!

A rational and timely assessment.
