Re: Assange makes 1st public appearance in 2 months said by norwegian:She has basically used the power of her seat to thwart his cause. I can understand the want to hit back with a deformation suite of some sort.
Publicity stunt. Nothing more.

"Prominent defamation lawyer Stuart Littlemore, QC, has labelled attempts by WikiLeaks and Julian Assange to find ways of suing Prime Minister Julia Gillard for defamation as nothing more than a stunt.
Mr Littlemore and other legal experts have today said that defamation claims generally must be made within 12 months of the comments."
""For the life of me I cannot imagine that there is a cause of action that WikiLeaks could ever bring, least of all if it had done it within time."
So what exactly did Ms. Gillard say that was so "slanderous"?
"I absolutely condemn the placement of this information on the WikiLeaks website. It's a grossly irresponsible thing to do and an illegal thing to do.""
Yeah, good luck with that Mr. Assange. It might serve its purpose in deflecting conversation away from his ducking rape charges for a bit though.
