Background (Preamble):
This petition is designed to put pressure on the Australian Government to encourage them to assist Julian Assange in regard to his current circumstances related to WikiLeaks in releasing sensitive information, the related sex charges and politically motivated attacks on him as an individual.
By collecting signatures on a petition we intend to demonstrate to the Australian Government of the large amount of support for Julian Assange. To show that people don't believe the political spin being used to try to discredit him and to justify the Australian Governments inaction.
Australian people expect their Government to support all of its Citizens and we want the government to know this.

Petition:
WikiLeaks founder and Editor-in-Chief Julian Assange needs your help and support. He is an Australian citizen and is entitled to the support of his home country.
We the undersigned call on the Australian Government and Prime Minister to:
- Provide full consular support for Julian Assange as would be afforded to any other Australian citizen including legal assistance;
- Speak out against the incorrect assertion by individuals and the media that Julian Assange has committed an offence by publishing leaked sensitive information when no offence has been committed.
- Be proactive in publically supporting Julian Assange and prevent politically motivated persecution of an innocent Australian citizen in a foreign country.
- Assist Julian Assange to defend the right to universal free speech and justice.
- Speak to and ask President Barack Obama to cease the persecution of Julian Assange.
