The new edition of OBITER is out today, or so facebook informs me. Included is an article I wrote about Julian Assange's 2013 election bid. It touches on the legal obstacles Australians may encounter when running for public office, but also on the diplomatic and constitutional implications of Assange becoming a politician. After I submitted the article, Assange released a statement that was consistent with my speculation as to his real motivations for running. USYD, UTS, UNSW, Macquarie, UWS, and UQ students, please pick up a copy from your campus law building. And remember to vote [1] above the line for Wikileaks in this year's election!
