Charge the PM with treason?

" Do you represent Australians and will you fight for Australian interests ?

" Because it's not the first time that you or a member of your cabinet has been into a US government

building and exchanged information. "

" In fact we have intelligence that your government has been exchanging information with foreign powers about Australian citizens working for WikiLeaks. "

" So, Prime Minister, my question to you is this: When will you come clean about precisely what information you have supplied to foreign powers about Australian citizens working or affiliated with WikiLeaks ?

" And if you cannot give a full and frank answer to that question, should perhaps the Australian people consider charging you with treason. ? " Unfair point ?

Given that in their collective desperation to relieve Assange of his formidable capabilities, the Australian, US and other Governments are feverishly rifling through everything from the Magna Carta, the Constitution, the colour logbook for the black Model T Ford and Sweden's Ikea dissembling manual to nail this dude - I don't think so.

The Prime Minister's response to Mr Assange was one of consummate obfuscation. She first gave her trademark nervous chuckle. Her response certainly gave me a laugh. It will you.

Here's why. " I honestly don't know what he is talking about so I'm afraid I can't help him with full and frank disclosures. I don't know anything about exchanging information about people who work for WikiLeaks. " How's that for an unknown unknown. Fabio wouldn't melt in her mouth, let alone butter.

Host Tony Jones pressed the point. " So, it hasn't happened to your knowledge ? "

" To my knowledge it hasn't happened, " said the PM. " But on the more broad allegations he makes about do we exchange information about Australian citizens with foreign governments, yes, we do sometimes. "

As examples, the PM cited drug trafficking and terrorism. As if we don't watch Judge Judy, NYPD, CSI, Blue Bloods and Two and a Half-Humen here in Oz!
