Assange marks first anniversary of release from prison
His wife Stella said he is working on a project to slow the "rush" towards war.
In the early hours of June 24 last year, Assange was transported under custody in a high-security convoy from Belmarsh maximum security prison to Stansted Airport.
He had been imprisoned in Belmarsh for more than five years and was detained in the UK for 14 years.
He flew on an Australian government jet under formal custody to US federal court in the tiny US overseas territory of Saipan in the Pacific Ocean, refuelling in Bangkok.
On June 26, a plea hearing in Saipan formally secured his release, conditional on him immediately leaving the territory.
Later that day he landed in Canberra where he was reunited with his family.
On the anniversary, Stella Assange said: "We were in Europe for the opening of The Six Billion Dollar Man at Cannes, Pope Francis' funeral, and to try to understand where things are heading - politically and technologically.
"Julian has been working on something for several months now, and I hope it can help slow the rush toward war.
"Three hundred and sixty-five days have passed, but we are light years away from Belmarsh prison.
"To all the supporters who helped make this possible, there are no words to express how grateful we are to have Julian free."

‘For ourselves': Albo's pointed jab at US
Anthony Albanese will pay homage to former Labor prime minister John Curtin as not just the leader who founded Australia's alliance with the US, but one who stood up against allied super powers, in pointed comments amid concerns over Australia's relationship with America. Mr Curtin's leadership, which lasted between 1941 to 1945, lasted during the Pacific War and the bombing of Darwin and Broome by the Japanese. He died while in office, before peace was declared. In a speech to mark the 80th anniversary of Mr Curtin's death on Saturday, the Prime Minister will credit the Labor figure with forging Australia's long-held alliance with the United States. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will pay tribute to John Curtin on the 80th anniversary of his death on Saturday. Jane Dempster/Pool/NewsWire Credit: News Corp Australia John Curtin served as prime minister from 1941 to 1945. National Library of Australia Credit: Supplied However Mr Albanese will also note Mr Curtin's decision to stand up to the US and the United Kingdom, then led by Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill his decision not to send Australian troops to then Burma, now Myanmar, in what would have been days before it fell to the Japanese. 'Hundreds if not thousands of Australians would have been killed, or taken prisoner. It would have been a disaster every bit as crushing to national morale as the fall of Singapore,' Mr Albanese is expected to tell attendees at Sydney's John Curtin Research Centre. Mr Albanese will note that while the Australian-US alliance 'ought to be remembered as a product of Curtin's leadership in defence and foreign policy, not the extent of it'. Instead, he will say that Mr Curtin had the 'confidence and determination to think and act for ourselves'. 'Because Curtin's famous statement that Australia 'looked to America' was much more than the idea of trading one strategic guarantor for another. Or swapping an alliance with the old world for one with the new,' he will say. 'It was a recognition that Australia's fate would be decided in our region. It followed the decision Curtin had made in 1941 that Australia would issue its own declaration of war with Japan. 'Speaking for ourselves, as a sovereign nation.' Anthony Albanese credited Mr Curtin for not only cementing the Australia-US alliance but also for speaking up for Australia as a 'sovereign nation'. Max Mason-Hubers/ Pool/ NewsWire Credit: News Corp Australia His remarks come as the Albanese government is currently under pressure by the Trump administration to amp up defence spending to 3.5 per cent, comes amid concerns of fragile global stability and claims from US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth that China would imminently invade Beijing. Mr Albanese has frequently rejected US pressure to amp up defence spending, stating that investment will be calculated according to Australia's needs. Labor is also under pressure to negotiate a tariff carveout, however on Friday he said he believed the levy applied to non steel and aluminium imports would remain at 10 per cent after Donald Trump's July 9 deadline. Mr Albanese is also set to champion to 'rights and the role of middle powers and smaller nations' and speak to the importance of collective responsibility in the Indo-Pacific, despite fears of China's increasing aggression in the area. Ensuring that the 'sovereignty of every nation is respected and the dignity of every individual is upheld' is another priority. He will say his government will continue to rebuild Australia 'standing as a leader and partner in the Pacific,' deepen economic engagement in South East Asia, while 'patiently and deliberately working to stabilise our relationship with China'.

Mushroom murder trial jury fail to reach verdict, sending deliberations into a sixth day
Heavy fog rolled over the Victorian town of Morwell on Friday morning as the jury in the Erin Patterson mushroom murder case entered their fifth day of deliberations. The fog got heavier the closer you got to town, providing an ironically eerie backdrop to a place that has hosted one of Australia's most famous murder trials. It's been nine weeks since Patterson's trial began, with multiple key witnesses including Patterson's estranged husband, doctors, nurses, mushroom experts, the fatal lunch's sole survivor and even the accused herself taking the stand. The case has drawn international media like the BBC to the Gippsland town of 14,000, with documentary makers from Netflix seen filming outside the Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court. Just before 10am on Friday all the major Australian news outlets gathered outside the court, with some erecting small marquees to house all their camera equipment, microphones, autocue and laptops. Journalists sat on camping chairs, going over notes of the case in the event the jury reached a verdict. It's mostly a waiting game, with members of the media making small talk with each other, as well as with the local police that they've come to befriend. The police station is only just next door, so officers walk through the outside court precinct regularly. Locals also pop by, bringing their friendly dogs for pats — a welcome reprieve for weary journalists. By mid-morning the fog had all but gone and was replaced with bright blue skies and a pleasantly warm sun, making sitting around and waiting for something to happen a bit easier. When deliberations broke at 1pm for lunch, the media quickly dispersed, grabbing a bite to eat from one of the many local cafés near the court. As Prosecutor Nanette Rogers SC returned an hour later, she was jovial and friendly as she made a passing comment to waiting journalists about them sitting out of the sun. While journalists and members of the media have dedicated a good chunk of their lives to covering the case, by far the biggest impact has been on the locals, whose once relatively unknown town has been transformed into a media circus. Some locals, like Carolyn Rich, have enjoyed the excitement the trial has brought to the town, even going so far as to nab a seat in the public gallery to watch the proceedings for herself. The local florist waited for about 45 minutes to get into the court during the first few weeks of the trial in May. 'It was interesting, it is different to when you're watching it on TV to when you're actually face to face … and the family (is) right there, so it's got a different feel about it,' she told '(I've) always (been) interested in true crime, even before we had all the streaming services. 'I was only in there for a couple of hours though.' She said she hadn't noticed the increased media presence have much of an impact on business, but locals had noticed it had become harder to get car parks in town. 'We probably haven't seen many of the reporters, only when they've wanted to come in and speak to us,' Rich said. Other locals however are more than ready for the trial to finish and for everyone to move on. 'I don't even read it in the local paper anymore, because it's just gone on for too long and I'm just not interested in it at all,' Lorraine Dickson, who works at the local Vinnies, said. 'I followed it for a short time but then after that, it's just gone on too long.' She also remarked that it had become harder for locals to get car parks in the town. While a quick verdict is hoped for by members of the media and some locals, 7NEWS Melbourne chief crime reporter Cassie Zervos, who has been covering the trial on and off over the past nine weeks, said it was important to remember the jury were making a life-changing decision. 'It's someone's life that has to be determined by these strangers and it's a huge decision,' she said. 'So yes, I'd love to get home …. but I think as a reporter it feels silly complaining.' Patterson is accused of murdering three relatives and attempting to kill a fourth at a family lunch by serving up beef wellington with poisonous death cap mushrooms She has pleaded not guilty to murdering her former in-laws, Don and Gail Patterson, both 70, and Gail's sister, Heather Wilkinson, 66, after the trio died days after attending a July 2023 lunch at her Leongatha home. The 50-year-old has also pleaded not guilty to attempting to murder Heather's Baptist pastor husband, Ian, 68, who spent months in hospital, but survived. The jury will continue deliberating on Saturday.

‘Incredibly tough': Calls for PM to address over-regulation and over-taxation in business
Wilson Asset Management founder Geoff Wilson says one of Australia's largest business problems is over-taxation and over-regulation, calling upon the Albanese government for an end to the 'pleasantries'. This comes amid Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's address at Australia's Economic Outlook 2025. 'It's an incredibly tough environment,' Mr Wilson told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. 'What we need the government to do is to not overtax and overregulate – and that's the problem that all Australian companies have got at the moment. 'We don't want any more pleasantries, our small, medium-sized, and even large companies in Australia need some action by this government. 'Something has to be done.'
