Radio? Politics? Media Watch? Where to next for Julian Assange?

On Thursday night, people planning to settle in for a double episode of Law and Order SVU on Ten were met not with the familiar sight of Ice-T solving crimes while pretending he didn’t write a song called ‘Cop Killer’ once, but instead by a boy with a blonde bowl haircut, hacking into the type of fluoro-fonted, black-screen databases that only exist in the Matrix.

Yes, Julian Assange is back in Australia, a free man after copping a plea deal for time spent in the company of Pamela Anderson – and he is everywhere at the moment. Everyone has caught Assange fever, it seems. Despite his wife’s reasonable assertion he needs time to “let our family be a family”, we’re all waiting to see what he’ll do next. Aside from a double thumbs-up.
