10. And that is why Assange refused to accept any 'help' from the Australian

Embassy. Gillard, puppet of the Corporations tried to defend herself re her infamous early statements on an Australian citizen by claiming, in response to condemnation of her government's refusal to help him, that he had been offered help by the Australian Embassy in London.

Yesterday, this was brought up here in an effort to contradict Assanges' legal adviser, Judge Gaston, who believes that Assange fits the category of a 'refugee' who is without a state. No doubt Assange was aware of all of this and this is merely confirmation. Most of it has been alleged and backed up by Gillard's cowardly behavior throughout all of this.

So, it appears Gaston was right and may now be able to have Assange categorized as a person without a state, which apparently will provide him with other legal options.

Shame on Gillard, but then, she has already disgraced herself and I hope her behavior in this case will get her thrown out of office as soon as possible.
