If Australia truly loved Assange they would've done the thing Russia does where they start their own bogus competing extradition proceeding in order to repatriate the person. Not to mention that they stuck him with a $500k bill!

Seeing how much censorship Australian govt wants on it's own public, "love Assange" is a far cry from reality.

Also Australia is beholden to US and has deep ties with it.

Australia is on an America-led course to humiliate and destroy whistleblowers. Our governments were upset in public, but no doubt cheering on Assange's treatment in private. Just look at what they did to David McBride.
